The Standby switch is also very useful for playing live as it allows you to keep the valves at a functional temperature between sets. Hooking up a cabinet through the External jack will mute disconnect the internal speakers! Extension: This speaker jack runs parallel with the internal speakers which are wired for 16 Ohms.

The extension cabinet must be 16 Ohms. External: This speaker jack will mute disconnect the internal speakers and you can hook up either a 16 Ohm or 8 Ohm cabinet. Be sure to set the Output Select switch accordingly.

Both jacks External and Extension are parallel so run cabinets as you normally would. One 16 ohm cabinet into either jack, two 16 ohm cabinets into both jacks or one 8 ohm cabinet into either jack with the impedance select switch set accordingly.

See below for hook up options. To ensure that your system works correctly, you must observe the following points. The speaker may be destroyed if you ignore this caution — not recommended! Connecting the cable while the power is turned on may damage your amp. It is recommended that all audio cables, with the exception of the speaker lead, used to connect to the AC30 Custom Classic are of a high quality, screened type.

These should not exceed 10 metres in length. Always use a non-screened Vox approved speaker lead with the AC30 Amplifier and extension cabinets. Either jack can be used. The impedance of the extension cabinet must be 16 Ohms. The tubes will be running hotter but you will have more clean headroom. Your sound will be tighter and the amp will run quieter. NOTE: There is no rule set in stone for these levels.

Please try both settings and use what works best for you as every playing and effect situation will be different. NOTE: Be sure to use shielded guitar cables only! NEVER use unshielded speaker cables.

The most common reason for this fuse to blow is when an output tube becomes faulty. The correct vale of the HT fuse is located on the rear panel of the amplifier and should only be replaced with one of the same value. The specific mains input voltage rating that your amplifier needs to run at is located on the rear panel of your amplifier. Before making any connections or powering up the amplifier, make sure the correct voltage is set.

If you have any doubt, refer to your local VOX dealer. The correct value of the fuse is located on the rear panel of your amplifier and should only be replaced with one of the same value.

The birth of an amp… The AC30 is one of the most quintessential guitar amplifiers of all time. There are very few guitar amplifiers still selling today that have not undergone massive changes in their basic design format. In fact, most vintage style amplifiers available today disappeared from sale for many years and have only just been re-released in a re-issue format; the basic AC30 has always been available.

As stated, every new owner of the brand made minor changes to the construction or electronic design. While some were arguably good changes, some were not so good, but the basic format of the amp remained the same. What makes the AC30 so revered? For instance: there are three channels with two inputs each. When the AC30 was originally designed, the above features were of great benefit for that time. It fitted in with the music styles of the day, and, probably more importantly, only one amplifier was needed for guitar or two , bass and vocals; they could all be plugged into a single AC Basically the VOX amps, and most others, were intended as general-purpose amps.

Ironically they also sounded fantastic when used purely as guitar amps, which is why they have endured to this day. Another drawback, although by happenstance a very nice drawback! These speakers are also, without a doubt, some of the loudest and most efficient ever made. In , a new version of the AC30 Top Boost was born. This was to be as close sonically as the original, but for many good reasons built to more modern day standards.

This amplifier has been more than successful in re-establishing VOX as a premier amplifier manufacturer again. In , because of a number of factors, we decided that the best way of taking VOX forward into the 21 st century was to look at how we could make the AC30 more suitable for both present day and future amplifier purchasers; not an easy job considering its long standing history!

So, what Modern Features could be added to the AC30 without any sacrifice to the vintage tone? The basic list came down to reverb, FX loop and a suitable way of adding an output volume control that worked well with the tone of the amp, namely, a master volume.

The rest was a bit harder. By chance we had already tested the water for new features when we introduced the above mentioned AC15TB equipped with reverb, global tremolo and master volume.

The overwhelming success of the AC30HW even with die hard vintage AC30 users gave us the indication that we were on the right track for the redesign of regular production AC30 amps. When the first prototype was presented to a panel of guitar players and market specialists, the prototype was acclaimed as possibly being the most perfect AC30 ever.

Thusly, we have named this series as AC30 Custom Classic. In order to satisfy the demands of a variety of playing situations, we decided to offer the Custom Classic in a number of different configurations. While the amplifier chassis specifications are identical, different speaker options are available as follows:. AC30CC2: 2x12" combo with a pair of custom designed GSH speakers which add a top end mellowness and smooth bass response. Three speaker cabinets are available for use with the AC30CCH or as extension cabinets for the combos.

They are:. Top Boost: Plugging your guitar into this input will route your signal through the Top Boost channel. Normal: Plugging your guitar into this input will route your signal through the Normal channel. This switch works in conjunction with, and is dependent on which of the inputs is used.

Here are the options you have:. Depending on where this is set, you can either blend in more gain by turning it clockwise or you can set it lower for a cleaner sound. This works in conjunction with the Master Volume meaning that if you keep this volume lower and the Master higher, you will get a cleaner sound and conversely, if you keep this higher and the Master lower you will get more gain and distortion.

This works directly with the Master Volume meaning that if you keep this volume lower and the Master higher, you will get a cleaner sound and conversely, if you keep this higher and the Master lower you will get more gain. As you increase the Treble or Bass, the mids are decreased and conversely, as you decrease Treble or Bass, mids are increased. You can remotely switch the reverb On or Off with the supplied footswitch.

Tone: This controls the high and low frequencies of the reverb. You can add brightness to the reverb by turning it clockwise or add darkness by turning it counterclockwise.

Experiment with this control to see which setting s work best for you. Low Drive: Use this when you are using a higher gain sound.
