Thread starter spiritofeden Start date Oct 23, Messages My question is mainly focused on VOX AC30 heads made in chine, but I guess it can be easily extended to the combos as well.

What would you suggest according to your experience? Randy Van Sykes Member. Messages 1, To me the Heritage sounds the best I have the 1x12 combo mostly because the EF86 channel is all that I use and the CC doesn't offer that. Before ordering a good rough check is to count the number of valves in your particular model.

On our home page if you use the search by make and model, all of these variants are listed and you will see the valve kit that is available kits.

The list below shows the pre-amp and rectifier line up. No GZ34 as it was replaced by 4 diodes. This model was in my mind a cost cutting exercise and a step backwards. No GZ The valve rectifier made a return at this point because the diodes in the power supply removed the compression effect of the good old valve rectifiers.

The CCX models at least have the Gz34 rectifier. There are far fewer valves in these models as a lot of circuitry is now in semiconductor technology. The ECC82 was always used in the vibrato circuitry and this has gone in favour of solid state circuity. The Vox website which shows all their current amps is at Voxamps. The prices are high due to their sheer quality of sound. For me the nxet best model is a onward amp.

Personally , if I want a valve amp then that is what I want. I wonder if the semiconductors in these new generation of hybrids will be available to repair them in 50 years time. I doubt if this will be true in the fast moving world of semiconductor chips. What happened? Yea, they are making all the vox amps in China now.

They have been discontinued. You can now only get the AC30 and AC15 custom classic from china. That's fucking horrible. I don't want a Chinese AC30! The internals are of higher quality than the Korg ones, but the cabinentry and hardware is subpar. The latest word is that the vox label alinco blues are also made in China, but the Celestion branded alinco blues are still made in the UK.
