Who has experience of the new Vox AC30 C2 amps?

Just wondering is anyone here has the new AC30C2 model?
I have been running the Fryer Treble booster through the Normal channel and it seems to overload the signal somewhat, works fine on the Top Boost Channel which actually sounds much closer to the classic Brian May tone
Anyone done this or had experience of these newer models?

I did a gig with a C2X. Didn't really have a lot of time to muck around with the settings, I was pretty pleased with it though.

The only "experience" I've had on the newer models is walking away from them.

It works great for me.

If you're using the treble booster, just be sure to roll off the EQ completely. I've got the top boost volume at about 8, and the tone is bang on.

Played it once for about 45 mins with my old Brian May signature and i was quite pleased, however.... my first real amp is going to be the AC-15 cuz i dont have money for a 30, and because its to big/loud for my 6m2 studio

You should give them a try, they are actually more flexible and robust, the addition of a master volume means you dont have to run them at max levels all the time if you want the brian tone, the clean sounds are very nice indeed if you want to hear for your guitar sounds like in a pure state.

The Vintage ones are indeed wonderful but somewhat unstable and require a lot of TLC if your going to gig them, personally I would only record with them these days as the new AC30C2 model is a good road amp plus you can practice at low levels without blowing the windows out.

Pay no attention to Microwave, Togg. He was being a sarcastic smartass there, as is typical of his character.

Grow up, inu-liger. We're talking about guitar amps here, something you know nothing about.

The new ones just dont seem to have any gas. There's a reason they didn't have a master volume control... not just Brian but everyone played them at max level.

I think part of the reason is that everyone wants to practice with them, so we have to redesign it so you can turn it down. That, and the cheaper parts and construction just make em a far cry from what they used to be.

That said, I NEVER take my 30 out to just any gig... they are definitely not a road worthy amp after so many years.

Um, you do know he's a guitarist, right?

Yes, I've heard. That's why I said it.  What is that... a Digitech?

I've got several guitars and a couple of really sweet amps too.  So what?  Anyone that has an original knows the difference.  They just don't have the balls that the older tubes had.  I don't know if it's the speakers, I believe, to be one of the main culprits.  I'm not a tech junkie, all I know is there's nothing like this or a '65 Fender Princeton... so I saved and saved and bought em both.

As for newer amps, I really like the new amps Bogner is producing.   Very British sounding.  Also, Orange makes a pretty good combo.  Both are much superior to anything carrying the Vox name.

i think they're shits....they never stand their round in the pub

Togg, sign up to the red special forum, they will answer all your queries, I have three c2 amps and think they are great.

Oh, and what source do you have to back up your oh-so-assertive conclusive statement?

NONE. And not that I really need to, but here's where I prove you wrong once again:

Enough said.

Oh my god, you didn't just post a picture of your Peavey Raptor and some Squier guitar did you?!?!?

Hehehe.

But back to the topic, what say you... guitarboy... do you like the amp or not?

And a Peavey practice amp and Digitech pedal!!! Hahahahahahaha.

Never mind.  You don't need a Vox amp.. you're doing just fine there.  Your amp should be sufficient.
