Vox Heritage Collection AC30HH head £669

Vox's latest hand-wired AC30 looks back and forward. Far East boutique? You'd better believe it...

A hand-wired, loud and seriously good-looking bit of kit

What is up with VOX and their insistence on putting these cheap shiny plastic logo badges on their amps? On a £600+ piece of kit surely there is room in the budget for spending a couple of extra £'s on a quality metal logo badge? Unbelievable!

Pros

Looks wonderful. Awesome EF86 channel. Competitive price.

Cons

Cheap looking logo. No reverb. No standby switch.

Verdict

For rootsy rock and pop it's hard to beat at this price. The best new AC30 yet for stripped-down, clean/crunchy goodness.
