    les paul thru vox?

    in Gibson USA

    Posted

    I have a Vox AX30CC2X (loaded with Celestion Blues) and all three of my LPs sound very good through it. In fact' date=' every single one of my guitars sounds good through it.

     

    It's a really versatile amp. With the Norm channel you can get old-school (and by old-school I'm talking late '50s) clean through crunchy, and an EQ switch on the Norm channel yields a brighter more modern sound.

     

    The Top Boost channel is hotter, with more preamp gain, and it can give you some very brilliant tones, sort of like a Fender amp on steriods.

     

    The really cool thing is that you can blend the two channels to darken up the Top Boost channel and approach Marshall-dom.

     

    Highly recommended. [/quote']

    Owned a Valvetronix, AC30CCX, & AC30BM. No interest in other models (yuk!).

     

    The Valvetronix (2 X 12) was cool at first w/ all the effects & stuff but lacked smooth warm tone.

     

    The AC30 Custom Classic w/ Vox Blues was way better but you gotta have an attenuator cuz these are way too

    loud. Sounded GREAT w/ a LP or PRS!

     

    The AC30BM is my favorite of the three. Only one knob (volume) but to me this one had the best sound (but not by much). Great w/ LPs!!! Very clear sounding even at high gain w/ an awesome roar. I still own this one. The Vox sound is not for everybody. I love it!

    Honestly though, I'm more into Marshalls. Gotta try 'em... only way to judge for yourself.
