Amplifier 30watts lamp, hp 12-inch Celestion, 2 non-switchable channels but can be associated with a switch link, extra reverb and tremolo has lights, effects loop in series, power attenuator relays and vintage or modern.

USE

Using the very simple point one understands the philosophy of such legendary amp, from light to crunch but with british Class A.
a type of sound but it isa of the most beautiful ever
but still very rock amp to play everything, because it is primarily an amp effect pedal, a jazz sound great on the bright channel
trebon baffle on the cc1

SOUNDS

Comm indicated excellent for ceus who seeks a vintage lamp, I have a mesa boogie, believe me I am reconciled with tube amps
a sound clarity, heat, reverb is fantastic, the sound fits in the finger, the guitarist who does, that gives the cc1 dedicated sent, very good amp really

at the crunch it rocks, if you also add a pedal distortion or overdrive little is no problem to see the hard metal, it has a huge trunk and toujour this sound pro.
it's been 30 years since I played, I had this amp discovers belatedly
it's really an amp for those who have their own, I understand pourquoithe edge, rory gallagher and many others have that stuff.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Very good value for money with Chinese production, plus it's a design object
very beautiful, guitars find their sound (fender, gibson).

UTILIZATION

So the opening of the box, we feel the quality finish of the amp is exemplary. (And yes, it's not because it's "made in china" that is forcing many months!)
Then you look a little bte, and even when there s'apperoit lot of knobs and switches is a bit Drout and we do not understand what to they serve. So to get it right, you open the record. Surprise! it is in French. It's quite enjoyable to read. It described a fawn-friendly with a touch of humor.
After all-inclusive, one branch, and sounds!, Even with all the knobs of the mini rglages.

SOUNDS

Normal-Channel:
This channel is for clean sounds. Trs few adjustments. Volume, master volume and shine.
The sound is warm trs, trs Dfine well, good bass. A super clean sound! I love it.
We just have fun with trmolo, it's really not bad. Looks like "kill bill"

Canal-top boost:
So this channel is intended for the distortion. There crunch more easily. But be aware that this amp is not for the large distortion of nags.
For the distortion, you have to push the craft. And 30W in class A, hard! So you put the volume knob a background, we drop the master volume and it s'clate. But watch the ears!
On this channel, the legalization becomes active, so we just play bass and treble.
For now I could not test this config too. I opt for another alternative, in order to have a larger distortion and a lower volume. I took a bulldog distortion pedals Vox Cooltron, plugs into the normal channel. And it's really good, you get good sound pchus, just the Marshall JCM 800. It's not easy to play AC / DC, Metallica (especially the early albums). APRS you to play on the SETTING THE pedals.
Basically, it's that happiness!

Small update of 26/01/06:
I've done more testing on the top boost channel, and it is ... woah!
Master volume and lower back (not to pter windows!), The distortion is simply hell!

OVERALL OPINION

It's only been a week I possde this amp, and for now I do not regret my choice. In fact, I bought a dpart Engl screamer that I kept only 10 days. The sound does not please me at all, too modern, too loud (it's a personal opinion). So I went to the store and took the Vox AC30cc instead. And I'm finally happy with my sound. This is vintage trs, trs hot. It is up to its reputable.
So tell me some "but not the real era of the AC30!" I our answer "yes so what is in the same spirit sound quality even more and it is more convenient because it can rev well be used to house, as it possde a master volume, unlike its prdecesseur. In fact Vox has taken everything good in the old silent AC30 and made some amliorations. Why this generous!
With a good distortion pedals in, we get to trs good feedback, noise has a relatively reasonable.
on the other hand, it's not for the metal. I also like the metal, and can be one day I would take another amp for a fact, but even when I would keep it up! Each of its specially. Finally I like the amps not too versatile, because there will necessarily be a compromise.
This amp is a marvel. For less than 1000 euros, you have an amp legends.

Small updating the 18/04/06
I just learned that the AC30 are no longer team of lamps "china" in prampli but lamps "Tung-sol".
So for those who have heard about the problem of reliability and microphone of the lamps, remember that it's over, the new Tung-floor lamps are much better.
I have not yet but normally verifies the mine must be in Tung-ground.
Otherwise the four power tubes are still electro-Harmonix. (No problem of the cot)
Congratulations Vox have Ragit and have corrected this little problem!

I made the Pop (Beatles, Radiohead are my mentors)
You m'tonnes I made the right choice!

OVERALL OPINION

Simply: "EXCEPT"
This amp seems to me the first moments alive ds!
He lives in the sense that it does possde trs wide dynamic range giving the guitarist the power to get the crunch will under his fingers he rpond a Manir EXTRA! (As if he understood what vout want) I never felt that way.
I offer my Gretsch Electromatic bygsby with magic and a blast.

Ct POWER I prfre not even speak for fear of blowing your guts!
30 Watts under the capo, but what was sent!

The springs will delight rverbe + rtros of us and will trmolo frmire + a girl!

If you had a choice to make, it will be the one!
Disto prvoir for the purchase of a Exceeds the pedals for crunch, I personal satisfaction!
It makes me want to get a ticket for Abbey Road and I Bouquer EMI Studio 2 weeks ... when I won the lottery!

Amp possdant LAMPS 8, not 11 (formerly AC 30), as described around (I disassemble To check), 4 power tubes Electro Harmonix, Sovtek a rectifier, and two 12AX7 Tung Sol, and I did not 12AX7B Verify the mark (I think Tung Sol).

Speaker 12 "Celestion G12 Century Vintage (" The Century Vintage is a new loudspeaker combining the Properties of Laima Nodymium with a more traditional voicing. The sound is classic like the Vintage 30 but the Century Vintage Neodymium Confre an incisive attack, an incredibly rponse, and a bump in the high mdiums giving the enjoyable sensation of playing with new ropes at all times. in His DEFINITIONS the bass makes it more efficient trs in low tunings and 7-string guitars. Finally he pse two times lighter than a V30 "audiotubetech), amended by vox (just the logo).

Two inputs, NO footswitches (one can go through a AB box, but rsultats WOULD unsatisfactory due to a Difference in volume between the two channels), but that can be shuffled. ..

Other dtails donns t have before, but I note that you can spend 20 to 30 W.

The lamps are a good brand, HP, too, and finish trs own. But I put eight, we do not sell a combo in there 11 prtextant the indoor lights!

UTILIZATION

The manual dtail many configurations, although they do not have enough dtail I got the CHARACTERISTICS of the amp (lamps, how to change them, and I do not know what else!) .
uh if gnial

not if I can find to nitpick, the aluminum foostwitch rsons a little when you switch! (Not the amp I can assure you, however there is no "click" nickel!)
9 Therefore, the manual it must be better now, (well I know a manual is not an amp, but it should be demanding that bte else will be around 10).

SOUNDS

Against the good by 10, not need more comments! tt a good bit even when:

I play with Start and Tele, this amp is excellent, it redcouvre his guitars!
The lens is clean and warm, pushing the volume (not master) gives a saturation in the attacks lgre free, thanks to the channel brightness gives something even hotter: a ne slap more rounded treble.

I note especially that channel because the other more experienced, is much Describes, in this channel dpend normal as fabulous as the second (if if if).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one, I only speak of his -:

_ Weight, 25kg prs little, I did not realize what it was doing, but now if, and only for that reason I will not take a 2 hp, even if the hp again later replaced by a Blue alnico (the reason is that the deuxime CC2X is too expensive, and the CC2 of HP trs way, on behalf of vox presti (G12 thing) but celestion beach on the comparison are anchored As the name). I stress very large because it is heavy which makes it even more the case to suffer from weakness from the owner.

_ Was in fact this is the only really because the price is right considering the quality. It's made in China, but the british CONTRL APRS compulsory sale do not forget it!

but never forget is better now I spend two or more a try all the amps (I personally was that I was six silent ...), plutt of choosing from the sheet, m ^ me if it is logieuse.
