The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Four EL84 power tubes (vs. two in the AC15); dual 12" Celestion G12M Greenback speakers deliver warm mid-range saturation and natural compression; hand-wired circuits with point-to-point construction; switchable output allows operation at 15W, 7W, or 1W without sacrificing tone.
Requires quality EL84 tubes and periodic biasing attention. Greenbacks benefit from occasional speaker break-in. Worth pairing with a attenuator for bedroom-level bedroom work. Dead-stock status warrants tube validation before extended play.
The AC30 Custom delivers the chime and natural gain that made Vox legendary, with enough wattage for gigging and recording flexibility. A serious investment for tone-focused players unwilling to compromise on vintage character.

AC30 Custom
For those who crave more power, the AC30 expands on the captivating sound of its little brother by doubling the wattage. Employing a quartet of EL84 power tubes, the AC30 Custom pumps 30 watts of remarkable tone through a pair of 12” Celestion Greenback or Alnico Blue speakers. Capable of both enchanting clean and raucous overdriven sounds, the signature chime of the AC30 Custom pairs seamlessly the intricacies of your playing style, resulting in a sound that is truly your own. Perhaps the most iconic amplifier in VOX’s pedigree, the AC30 earned its place in history as the amplifier that powered the British Invasion. Since then, the AC30 has remained the choice of the world’s most accomplished artists who have come to rely on its unique voice to amplify theirs.
