From what I can tell I think mine is very late sixties/early
seventies,
but I'd like to have a more definite idea.



Hi Angus,

pictures???

Hi Jochen, any thoughts from these pictures?

I need your memories for the Amiga Games Database: A collection of

Game reviews by Amiga players

Here's one but in good shape...

JP, do you have any idea how close the circuits in those AC30CC's are
to
the
real "vintage" ones? Do they use tube rectifiers? I have one of the
old
ones and I've been considering getting the CC for when mine goes in
the
shop
(often).

No, but someone here probably does. I looked at the sales hype and it
is an interesting amp. Might try one and see if you have a dealer
close.Thier tech can probably tell you the skinney in the amp and
circuit board also. The vox website has info and customer service
might be able to answer all of your questions...you can just ship that
old Vox to me and not have to worry with the damned old thing anymore
if ya want to...lol...probably sound just fine with my SRV
strat...J.P.

Just checked the Vox site...the tube complement for the CC includes a
GZ-34, which is a rectifier tube...so I guess that answers the question.

If you're interested in my old Vox, I'll ask my kids to post a notice
here
upon my death. Until then -- no way! It's my favorite amp (when it's
working correctly, that is). It has the Celestion greenbacks in it, at
some
point if I can get my hands on some Alnico blues for a decent price I'd
probably swap those in.

I actually tried out the new Brian May model (AC-30BM) which has an
onboard
treble booster as well as a switch that takes two power tubes out of the
circuit, lowering it to 15W. Unfortunately the setting didn't allow me
to
really crank it up and give it a proper evaluation. Besides, they wanted
$2300 for it, which at the time was a little too steep for my blood!

Think the kids would wait for a reply? Mine would pawn it so they
could go spend it ASAP...lol...

Actually both of my sons play and they're both lusting after that AC-30 as
well...so you may have to wait another generation ;-)
