1964 JMI VOX AC30 Twin 2x12 Red Copper Panel Combo AC-30/6

€ 3.500,00Prijs

Spectacular sounding and über cool looking 1964 Copper Panel AC30 that has an incredibly dynamic and touch sensitive responsiveness, smooth tube saturation and glassy clarity that has made this AC30 one of the most sought after amps of all time.

 

This amp delivers both the detailed cleans and midrange rich tube overdrive that are the hallmarks of the AC30 tone, not to mention providing fantastic lush vibrato and tremolo on the third pair of inputs! But when pushed this amp turns into a fire breathing dragon!!!

 

On top of that the channels are bridged (easy reverse) so that when plugged into the "red" input, you can blend all 3 channels to your liking! High power Treble with a little added bottom from the Normal channel and a hint of Vibrato? It's all there, just dial it in!

 

The list of AC30 enthusiasts is endless, with a story that began with Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Jet Harris of The Shadows (for whom the amplifier was originally developed during early 1960s before Beatlemania!) and quickly grew to include players such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison, Brian May, Rory Gallagher, The Edge, Pete Townshend, Mark Knopfler and countless others.

 

It has been serviced recently and the handles, 6 inputs and a few caps and resistors were changed to prevent the amp from burning out a transformer when breathing fire all over the front row.... Replaced parts like inputs, caps and resistors are included in the sale. The important parts like the transformers (Woden 76853 Output Transformer, P.E.241/DT Choke, OH 114DT Mains Power Transformer), 2 x VOX Celestion Blue Alnico 12inch speakers (1 x 1777 cone stamp), and grill cloth, tolex, metal vents etc. are original to this amp. A set of expensive old stock tubes was installed as well to get the sound.

 

This is not a museum piece. This is the one which sound haunts you in your dreams at night. This is the one you've been looking for. You want it. You need it. It's got your name on it. It will soar gasoline injected flames all over the stunned audience. Think Rory Gallagher. On fire on the Isle of Wight.

Only thing you need now is a Dallas Rangemaster. And a '61 Strat...
