#Vox ac30cc2 sound series
Actually, I think most of the bugs in the CC series were in the earliest amps. I think my CC series AC 30 is a really cool amp! If you want one without issues, buy one from North coast Music they make sure every amp they sell is shipshape. I suggest reading the Vox amps amp bulletin board section of the Plexi Palace forum regarding the CC series. If you you want a Hand wired Vox, you can buy one of the H2 models, though it too is made in China it has an EF86 channel, as well as a top boost channel, comes with Blue alnicos, but fyi it has no reverb or vibrato. I wouldn't turn down a CC2 Vox I own three of them an old hand wired top boost, a CC2X, and an AC 30 H2 I think they all sound great.

If you must have an English made reissue or similar amp, JMI makes a clone, it won't weigh any lighter though. Has anyone read about the ghost notes from an AC30cc?

I would suggest reading up on Voxes over on the Plexi palace Vintage Amps web-site. Yeah, they weigh 70+ pounds, so eat your Wheaties !!! The CC2s with the Wharfies are a pretty good deal for the price and if you can get the Alnico Blues, even better !! And if you like the tone, these other annoyances are petty in comparison to what you get. It's all about the Vox tone and you either like it, or you don't. You could spend hours testing it, and shaping your sound at a music store or rehearsal studio !! and even the staunchest Vox fans have nothing positive to say about the stock AX127s from the factory, but there are easy enough solutions for that : Ī lot of versatility with what you can do with the CC2 and blending the Normal and Top Boost channels, and expanding that further with the Master volume control. Well, the AC-30 CC2's may have some cheap Chinese machine screws, that hold the chassis and frame together but these can be replaced.

It's always Fender, Marshall, Orange and one AC30cc2 everywhere I go! There seem to be lots of great AC30 clones available stateside, but once I get one shipped here and pay duty it could get costly for an amp I never even get to test out.Įverything I've been reading about the Statesman appeals to me but it is about $500 more than a Canadian made Traynor YCV 40. There really isn't the greatest selection of amps. I've been trying to narrow down my choices but find it quite difficult in the Toronto area. I saw someone playing a Hughs & Kettner Statesman at a local shop and it sounded great, I need to go back and spend some time with it on my own. If any CC2 owners can tell me about their experiences good or bad I'd appreciate it. I'm sure it would last me another 15 years. It is built like a tank and is 100% reliable.

It has only died on me once in that time. I've had my 40 year old Hiwatt serviced three times in 15 years. Constantly blowing tubes & fuses, broken reverb tanks, grill cloth falling off, "don't use the standby switch" etc. They are completely unreliable and poorly made. I've seen demos online to confirm this and had the opportunity to play a couple around town.Ģ. The AC30cc2 sounds absolutely amazing and has some great features. I keep coming across two recurring points.ġ. After reading countless reviews I now have more serious concerns. My only concern initially was that it weighed the same as my Hiwatt 4x12. I've always wanted an AC30 and thought the AC30cc2 would be an affordable option. I'm retiring my 1972 Hiwatt from the road after 15 years of gigging.
