I'm very interested to hear how it sounds with the new tubes? What kind of tubes that you deciede on getting new for it too? Compared to the old ones in it? There is a varity of new tubes on the market but how or what to pick is always a mystery. As soon as you hear one tube is good they invarabily get bad ratings the next day.
My buddy got Mesa Boogie tubes for his Bandmaster. He thinks the amp works but finds it a little lifeless now. I put one set of main power tubes in my Twin (it has two sets)as one had gone bad in that set. I put Ruby tubes in it. I heard first that the Ruby tubes were good now some folks say that they are bad LOL.. It had to win for loosing. As some folks say aspen pitman tubes are good others say well? At best they say they are not any good shall we say.
I think that new tubes are actually only made in china or russia. No chinese tube is said to be worth a dime and thats what the AC30CC comes with. That lead russian or Nos and Nos from I hear is super expensive.
I agree with you too Vox is not as cool looking as Fender and Fender does not look as cool as Kustom. But then again most new bass amps are not exactly beauty queens either and are not gonna win any asthetic awards for the worlds coolest looking amps thats for sure.
With Vox I do think that the brown grille clothe amps do look a bit better than the black ones. There were a few old AC30's covered in Tan, Grey, Red, and even Purple Tolex though and those do look a bit better with the black grille. Well maybe they do LOL..
I was thinking of ordering one with the Wharfendales (the standard speakers) and then replacing them with the Red Fangs and using the orginals in monitor cabs I'm gonna sell or something like that LOL.. I'd like to hear what you think about the Blues vrs the Wharfs too?
I think that it would be interesting to hear one with a single Blue and one Red Fang too? I think my two little Vox Cambridge amps are lonely amongst the sea of Kustom's and Fender's in my band room. I sure your Vox has and inferiority complex.
