You'll have to mess with it a while to find that perfect tone, however. The TB channel is a little more complicated than the Normal channel, but it's still quite easy to find a good tone given a little time to play with it. The Custom setting provides much less interaction between the controls, meaning that rolling up the treble and bass doesn't drop your mids as much. Standard is your typical AC30 EQ, with very interactive Bass and Treble knobs. The EQ has two settings: Standard and Custom.

It can (and will) be a little bright, but there are some simple mods to quickly rectify that problem. This one gets a little dirtier than the normal channel. As with the normal channel, the TB goes from clean to a nice, crunchy grind. The reason we all consider the Vox AC30: The Top Boost. Too bright now? Roll the tone knob to taste. You know it'll sound good, and you don't have to fret about your tone. If I was going to sit in with a band that had an AC30 (not mine) on the stage, I'd use the normal input. Very simple channel to use and very easy to get great tones out of. You've got a "Brilliance" switch (rather than plugging into the brilliance input as on older AC30s, you flip the switch) and a tone cut knob to help shape your sound. Think of the opening to The Beatles "Revolution" but with just a little more grit. Great cleans (with that classic Vox jangle ever present), and smooth rich overdrive that can get up into some serious grind. It's basically a two-channel amp.įor simplicity, you can't beat the normal channel. Sorry, no experience with the AC50CPH, although I'd love to play through it and it's 100 watt bigger brother. It's the same amp as the AC30CC2, just without those heavy speakers attached (although the head is heavier than the 2x12 cab). I own the AC30CCH, and it's a great head.
