I am 57 yrs old and I have played many good amps in my day. I thought I would give this amp a shot. Thought since it was handwired it would be ok. I bought it, took it to first job and it didnt even make it thru soundcheck without crapping out. This is not professional grade stuff but they charge you like it is. I took the amp back after trying to communicate with vox/korg and swapped it for a handwired (made in england)Marshall 1974x. Dont waste you money on this chinese stuff.

I've been a Fender guy all my 30 plus years. I lived on Blackface Super Reverbs, Pro Reverbs, you get the idea. Along came the Vox AC30H2!! It was love at first note. How could a contemperary AC30 totally school a vintage 1964 AC30 (mine)? It did and continues to. This is not to say that I had a trouble free amp. Two days into a recording session, poof. That electrical smell of smoke and ozone. Not good. Took it to the folks at Vox Hollywood and it turned out to be the Chinese Rectifier tube. So, here's where I made this stunning amp the Matchless, Dumble, Marshall, any boutique amp killer. I took a quad of NOS/NIB 1961 Berlin Telefunkin EL84's put those in the power section. Put two early 1960's Mullard ECC83's in and one Telefunken EF86 to finish the preamp section. Lastly a NOS/NIB Mullard GZ34 rectifier went in. The tone went from unbelievable to pure magic! Do you believe in magic? VCome along with me...All the chime in the world is at my fingertips, when I crank it those Telefunken EL84's just sing with that creamy Vox sustaun we all strive for! The EF86 mode turned out to be my favorite. What a tone. It was really expensive to retube the amp with all these wonderful vintage, some NOS new in box, tubes but you know what, I bought them over time. Like maybe a few per year waiting for that perfect amp. So it didn't cost mt two grand out of pocket right then and there. So now you guys and girls know what you can do to have the finest Vox AC30HC in your area of the world! If you need help finding tubes I can and would be happy to locate many of them for you in fact I have a stunning inventory right now that will make these changes I'm talking about. Please believe me I did not write this review as an advertisment or a cheap shot way to sell tubes. I'm just saying I can help you out if you would like. Lastly, the playing experience has gotten me so in love with the guitar, performing, writing again! I couldn't be happier and that like the commercial says is priceless! Now, go out and but this amp with the Blue Bulldogs and be ready to crack the largest smile you've had on your face since your wedding night! It get's no finer than this! Peace and Love! Tonedog735

Heard this at a Blink 182 concert last night, and rushed to use one myself, Tom Delonge uses it dirty live, and it sounds amazing, you can guarantee that when i have the money I will buy it.

Extremely thick tone that you can't get anywhere else. This easily blows the "Custom Classic" amps out of the water, they're pitiful in comparison.

The tone is amazing. How do you describe a sound that has been engineered over 50 years into one amp. All i can say is perrrrrfect for all the mojo`s out there. I demoed this beast in the shop and i just had to buy it. who cares about the money knowing that this is going to be a great investment for the future. THIS VOX`S ROCK`S
