Owner selling an excellent condition Vintage Vox AC-30 Top Boost (JMI) Amp with normal and working tremelo with foot switch, (No Serial # as plate removed prior to my purchase in 2006). This Vox is in perfect working condition and sounds amazing! Made in United Kingdom, part of the iconic Vox AC series, the AC-30 has been produced in number of variations and reissues since the 1960’s. This is the Holy Grail of amps, a MUST HAVE for studio of live performances, (no amp, pedal, or modulator can emulate this tone)! In all of its formats, the AC-30 helped define the sound of the British invasion, and remains one of Vox's most important models. http://www.voxshowroom.com/uk/amp/ac30brn.html
This is an extremely clean amplifier with no issues. Meticulously tested in 2013 by Amphole, (http://www.amphole.com/), tested tubes, caps, replaced worn resistors and worn power and preamp tubes, installed filament resistors, cleaned tube sockets, pins, jacks, chassis, tightened hardware, and checked bias.
Also included is The Vox Chrome Nichel Plated Amp “Tray Stand” as used by the Beatles as shown in photo, (Sells for $600 by itself). In addition and included as well is a custom made Combo Flight Case made by Encore, (https://encorecases.com/product/vox-ac15-c1x-combo-flight-case/), which is built to the toughest ATA specs, (see photo).
Amp is maintained in smoke free studio location. Purchased in 2006 from The Twelfth Fret Inc in Toronto, (https://shop.12fret.com/collections/guitars-amps).
