Dub-T-123 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 As some of you may know, I've been looking to get a Vox AC30 for a while. I found one on eBay that I can pick up locally for $625. The lucky part is that because this seller didn't offer shipping and only local pick ups, nobody bid on it and I won the bid with the starting price. It is a Vox AC30CC1 (1x12) and it comes with a custom foam amp cover, the footswitch (for reverb & tremelo), and of course, the instruction manual. This will be my first tube amp and I'm really excited. I'm finally going to have a nice amp. I've kindof always wanted an AC30. This deal came by just at the right time. I'm going to pick it up this weekend. I'll try to post up some pics as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Sweet amp and nice deal. One of my favorite Vox amps. Congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 :P Thanks guys! I can't wait until Friday! I'll be playing with it all weekend. I'm glad I held out and got just the amp I want. I can use my Marshall (4x12) loaded with Celestion speakers if I need more headroom. I think it will be just fine all by itself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Congrats!!! I recently got a little tube amp and let me tell you, you'll hear the difference right away and make you want to play your best. I've just gotten brave enough to overdrive and the distortion is beautiful. Welcome to the world of tubes, as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the way a Gibson sounds through it. It's really the perfect amp for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Man, I'm going crazy waiting for Friday to come. I'm gonna jam with it this weekend. Who here has an AC30CC1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 AC30s are real good amps, I have played some before and they get LOUD! I am sure you will be very happy with your purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yeah I hope my neighbors don't mind me cranking it up every now and then because I definately will. I'm recording some guitar tracks individually for my friend and I think I will crank it up with a SM57 in front of the speaker and a big dynamic mic sitting in the room. I'll try to post up some sound clips. But it will be a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Congrats I almost had one as well. I found it on Craigs List . I was jacked. went to go pick it up, pluged my travel guitar in and the amp was dead. Make sure yours works before you bring it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 That kindof sucks dem00n. Hope you find what you're looking for. Mark.. I'll be on the lookout for problems when I pick it up. This is one of the reasons why I would only buy one locally. (that and I didn't want to pay $100 for shipping) Retro.. Thanks man :) you're pretty much the gear master so I know your opinion is worth something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks Mark. Just out of curiosity... what is you amp of choice? Didn't you just get a Fender Super Champ XD? Those are pretty cool. I was playing on one in a store once and a guy asked who was playing sax. I guess I sound like a sax through that amp!

Thermionik Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 . . Dub - we are talking a recent Korg/VOX AC30 aren't we..... .....because if you are getting a 60's original then I am just green with jealousy. Having said that, the current AC30-CC2 comes damned close to the older sound. Great choice. Either way. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah it's the recent "Custom Classic" series. I don't have enough cash to get a vintage one but I really like the model I'm getting. It has some really cool features and it sounds awesome.

Dub-T-123 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Damn! I have to wait until tommorow to pick up my amp. The wait is killing me. I was hoping to be playing my amp by now. Oh well I guess it's only one more day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Not to hijack your thread or anything, but I saw a beautiful Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb for $650.00 today. What a great price. You figure an amp like that and a price in the $600s. Wow. Wish I was in need of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of the Gibson/ Fender amp combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
