Vox AC30 Top Boost



Here is my Vox AC30 Top Boost.

This is a reissue of the guitar amp made famous by the Beatles, Keith Richards and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Pete Townshend of The Who, Brian May of Queen, The Edge and Bono of U2, Tom Petty and many more.

I bought this amp in the late 90's. It was made in England by Korg. It is a 33 watt amp and originally came with Celestion Greenback (ceramic) speakers. I have since upgraded the speakers to two 15 watt Celestion blue speakers (alnico). This gave the amp a much earlier overdrive so you can walk away without your ears bleeding. It really is loud!

This amp can do most things really well, from nice fat buttery clean tone all the way to screaming overdrive. I use it mostly in the normal channel with a Fender reverb unit and an Ibanez TS808 in front of the guitar. Really nice tone that can cut through any mix!

Great amplifier.
