VOX AC30C2X 2X12" Custom 2 Series Valve Combo w/Alnico Blue Speakers

The VOX AC30C2X is a 30-watt all-valve combo amplifier that carries forward one of the most influential amplifier designs ever produced. Originally made famous during the British Invasion of the 1960s, the AC30 remains celebrated for its unmistakable chime, rich harmonic complexity, and dynamic response.

Powered by four EL84 output valves and loaded with a pair of Celestion Alnico Blue speakers, the AC30C2X delivers everything from expansive cleans to harmonically rich overdrive, responding directly to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. Whether played clean or pushed into saturation, the amp retains the articulate top end and musical compression that have made the AC30 a favourite for decades.
