This amp is the heir to a long line ... He has the traditional qualities of the classic series and Top Boost. A simple test volume therefore can appreciate the musicality of the two channels. I would also emphasize the attention of the editor of the previous opinion that a tube amp is played at least with the volume to 12 to take the quintessence of the lamps ... Below, the stuff is under-exploited and his Master is necessarily less convaincant.Le including here on this model to bring the volume to a reasonable level without impacting the performance of the lamps.
Regarding the technical specifications of this amp, I add that Vox has only eight lamps (including Tung Sol since 2006) and not 11 as noted below. Power is 33W with the possibility of reducing it to 22W, which has the consequence that the amp cruncher earlier.
Manufacturing, meanwhile, seems well made and the overall quality of finishes (bonding, precision assembly and stability of the chassis ...) than my Laney (made in England).

UTILIZATION

The configuration and general ergonomics are likely to confuse more than a first glance, however, after a little time to adapt (to both channels 1 to the "cut" with the equalizer on the channel Top Boost ...), we quickly realized that the sound delivered by this amp are sumptuous and the many possibilities. The HP-Vox Wharfedale déméritent do not and can even benefit from a wider range devoted to the clean sounds alnico blues (which crunchent faster performance require-15W). As with all new HP, it will be necessary to lapping playing at high volume (yes!) for several hours. To be enjoyed without moderation then.

SOUNDS

The sounds of the Vox are consistent with what is expected of such an amplifier. The clean sounds are slammin, incisive without altering the personality of the guitar. Crunches are still warm with a big headroom. Connected alternately with a Gibson Lespaul Std, a rise in Mex Tele Bill Lawrence and sometimes an Ibanez AF105 Jazz, this amp seems to accommodate all peeled they are offered with the same zeal.

OVERALL OPINION

Owner of the Vox ac30cc2 for over six months, I am more than satisfied. I would however point out that this amp to the strong personality does not necessarily agree with guitarists who want the versatility at all costs.
