ricou le morfalou « Good tube amp, cheap »
Published on 09/11/13 at 01:01Made in Great Britain, the vox AC30 the poor, technologically it has many points in common, but is much cheaper.
3 lamps preamp, 4 lights on the amplifier stage.
The power is 30W on a bowl of 12 inches, compared to a transistor amp, I would say easily equivalent to a 100W.
It also has an effects loop, reverb 'old spring with a bright channel and a drive channel to boost the sound.
It weighs more than twenty pounds for rehearsals outside rather it is a bad thing.
Another negative point that will be an asset to others: I live in Tahiti, the extra heating that is not really significant.
Otherwise. It is finished with a beautiful black vinyl.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use, plug and play, no need to book.
The downside is that it is too powerful. In repeated at home, it is unusable. It should just background music for a small concert hall.
By lowering the sound, we lose the personality of the grain is the disadvantage of a tube amp compared to a transistor amp.
So I added him an attenuator with a rheostat 8 Ohms I bought.
The result was that I liked moderately, it actually became usable for the safety of my eardrums and social peace in my neighborhood, but the sound was so so ...
I put it aside for two or three years, I replaced a small transistor amp 15W Line6.
I later bought a Line6 Pod HD500 that I plugged in my little amp, until the day that it dropped me.
I am particularly interested in the neutral amp through this site, until the day I had the idea to connect my POD directly to the return of the effects loop of Laney. And miraculously, I had the winning combination on hand without knowing all the while!
The sound is perfect, even at low volume, and I have the opportunity to push if I want to!
SOUNDS
Assistant Line 6 HD500 on the effects loop is impeccable! I might even remove the 3 lamps preamp they no longer serve.
OVERALL OPINION
I rediscovered!
Mine was more of a problem on the line preamp with crunches, despite having changed three lamps.
The reverb does not work, it looks like the springs are stuck, rusted, when I put a little abruptly amp ground, reverb slap, but in the course of normal use, it is no longer heard. I was ready to sell out to 3 times nothing.
Well this is not a problem because I do not use the amplifier stage of this combo.
