Hello,

Bought a secondhand AC 30 CC 2 and find NOT the right adjustment to obtain
the old VOX sound of the sixties. VOX speakers inside.
Someone withe experience to help me ?
Many THX

Hi Assume this model has the Vox Wharfdale speakers as opposed to the upgraded Celestions on the X model?
Certainly enough tonal control for Top Boost sounds post 63 I would assume, like the AC15 CC 1 with a Celestion
Blue Speaker. Early That Sound on the normal channel can be pretty much hit or miss, as I had a 70s AC30 which
did not sound that great on normal channel.
Maybe someone else can elaborate further for you?

An eq pedal is an easy way get that sound consistently. A lot depends on the echo unit you are using. Some have built in bass roll off etc and changes the dynamics of the amp significantly

Correct Mike - It are VOX speakers from Wharfedale - model GSH 1230 8

And if I change the tubes ? Sounds better also ?
As I said : bought the amplifier secondhand !
