4. US 2x12
STANDARD
This models a black ‐ faced 2x12 ʺ combo amp that has become
an indispensible item for country and blues players. Its tight
and clean sound provides deep piano ‐ like bass tones, and
will deliver the classic Chicago blues tone particularly when
used with single coil pickups.
SPECIAL
This models a beautiful 30W boutique amp head renowned
for its peerless quality and true point ‐ to ‐ point wiring. Based
on a concept similar to that of the VOX AC30, this amp is
known for its rich overtones, sparkling clean tone, and great ‐
sounding overdrive.
CUSTOM
Based on a crunch ‐ distortion amp, this original amp model
changes the tone control to an active circuit that is more pow ‐
erful than the conventional one, allowing a wide range of
tones to be created.
Raise the TREBLE for sparkling chords or lower it for a taste ‐
ful blues setting, or turn up the MIDDLE for a rock backing
sound.
5. VOX AC15
STANDARD
This models the AC15TB, which com ‐
bines the beautifully sweet tonal char ‐
acter of the AC15’s low output power
amp with the sound ‐ creating flexibil ‐
ity of the AC30’s top boost channel.
SPECIAL
This models channel 2 of the VOX
AC15 (1x12 ʺ , 15W), which was manu ‐
factured in 1962 and was a big hit for
its compact cabinet, power, and great
tone–along with then ‐ popular British
bands.
CUSTOM
Designed to emulate the tones of the
thick channel on the VOX Night Train
Amplifier this tone is a modern take on
the classic VOX pairing of 12AX7 pre ‐
amp tubes and EL84 power tubes.
Think Classic British Crunch.
6. VOX AC30
STANDARD
This models an AC30 amp with the
“ t o p b o o s t ” c i r c u i t t h a t wa s
included as standard starting with
units produced in 1964. It delivers a
smooth and refined top end, majes ‐
tically deep overdrive, and a rich
and brilliant clean sound.
