AC30
Encyclopedia : A : AC : AC3 : AC30
The Vox AC30 is one of the most famous guitar amplifiers of the 1960s. Vox was the primary British amp manufacturer. The AC30 was used extensively during the 1960s "British invasion" . The amp is well known for its "Top Boost" circuitry.
Recently, Vox have released a limited edition version of the amp, the AC30BM, based on the tone of one of the amp's most prominent and consistent endorsees, Brian May of Queen. The amp is limited to only a few hundred examples world-wide, in a 'never-to-be-repeated' run. As the amp is designed to replicate May's tone, there are no controls on the amp except for a single volume control, though a switch enables the user to half the number of output valves (therefore reducing the volume, making it more suitable for home use), and there is a boost function operated from the included footswitch.
