UK30 (Brilliant, Normal)
The Vox AC30 is a legendary British tube amplifier renowned for its chimey, articulate clean tones and smooth overdrive. Featuring a 30-watt output powered by EL84 tubes, it delivers a distinctive, harmonically rich sound favored by iconic artists such as The Beatles and Brian May. Its Top Boost circuit enhances treble response, while the amp’s dynamic touch sensitivity and classic design make it a staple for both studio and live performance.
