Here is an immaculate Vox AC30C2 from a collector who played it sparingly and kept it under cover when not in use. First introduced in 1958, the Vox AC30 has become one of the benchmarks of classic guitar tone. Its straightforward circuit, with no negative feedback is famous for its chime, touch sensitivity, and gradual musical breakup.

The AC30 has evolved over the years, and this version adds a master volume control, letting you get into the sweet spot at something less than glass-shattering levels. It still keeps the Normal and Top Boost circuits, a nice holdover from the days when guitar players often shared expensive gear like an AC30. In the early 1960s, an AC30 would have set you back roughly $2,400 in today’s dollars. Expensive even by today’s standards.

Nothing quite sounds like a Vox, and the tactile, shimmering cleans are hard to beat at any price. This AC30 would make a prized addition to any studio, practice space, or high-end backline.

Perfect condition. Includes the original cord and cover. Since it does not have the original box and packing material, this one is local pickup only.

In the words of Vox:

For those who crave more power, the AC30 expands on the captivating sound of its little brother by doubling the wattage. Employing a quartet of EL84 power tubes, the AC30 Custom pumps 30 watts of remarkable tone through a pair of 12” Celestion Greenback speakers. Capable of both enchanting clean and raucous overdriven sounds, the signature chime of the AC30 Custom pairs seamlessly the intricacies of your playing style, resulting in a sound that is truly your own. Perhaps the most iconic amplifier in VOX’s pedigree, the AC30 earned its place in history as the amplifier that powered the British Invasion. Since then, the AC30 has remained the choice of the world’s most accomplished artists who have come to rely on its unique voice to amplify theirs.
