Vox Guitar Cabinets

The major difference in this amp to the regular production Vox Ac30 cab that the amp is housed in. The first being that the black tolex is replaced with a fawn tolex cover that is reminiscent to the first Vox amps made in the late 50's with four inputs rather that six inputs. The second being that you get more air space within in the cab without having the extra weight or space of the amp in house. Details Speakers 2 x 12" Celestion Alnico Blue Cabinet Type Straight Construction Material Birch Mono/Stereo Mono Inputs 1 x 1/4" Outputs No outputs Other I/O No other I/O Power 30W Impedance 16 ohms Height 21.65" Depth 10.24" Width 27.76" Weight 44.8 lbs. The combination of a hand wired amp and the Celestion Alnico Blue Dog speakers give a sparkling and a sweet warm classic Vox tone. This cab coupled with the AC30 or AC15 is more used for country, blues, and mild rock tones. The biggest users of the amp is the Edge and Brian May. Not this particular amp model but the Vox AC30 in general. The best thing about Vox Ac30 or AC15 amp coupled withnthe corresponding cabs are their ability to take pedal extremely well. You can throw just about any pedal in front of the amp and it just accepts the tone from the pedal and blends it with the Vox darker amp character that is present in its voicing. It seems the more this amps has been recognized by proper musicians the more people gravitate towards the tone of the amp. A Les Paul works quite well with this cab/amp combo. You get a great blues rock tone that is extremely warm and smooth in tone. I like to use a Strat with this amp as I'm a big fan of the Edge and his Strat is very recognizable in the songs I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and Bullet The Blue Sky. If you need a well built combo amp and are playing anything from country to mild rock then this might be an amp for you. If you use overdrive or effects pedals frequently then this is just about the best amp you could use effects with. At new they come in at around $1100. That might be a little high for a cabinet but it is hand wired and that price is recognized in that feature. I would recommend this cab to anyone who needs a Vox tuned cab which is very unique and distinct from all other cabinets.
