Â£1,300. But it is the shit.

WANT SO HARD.

point of interest, as those are limited edition, matt good has #2-#5 and puts them on full display concert.

i will have one some day.

sound clips from this tour (rhythm is ac30h2, lead is an older ac15 with diamond memory lane)

Yeah I know Matt Good used them recently, they sound fucking brilliant.

$2400 canadian last i checked, but the more i keep reading, the more it seems like a good idea to get warranty if you get a vox.

Black Francis has been using a couple (was using the CCs for a year or so previously)

well none. it's at a friends shop since he spilled beer all over it. he's supposed to be fixing it, but i haven't had the time to hound him about it (i know, i know).

i've previously used the ds-1, ds-2, and tubescreamer with it. i'd usually just crank the bastard and let her distort herself.

I just joined a dub reggae kinda band and my vox
is the dogs bollox imo but it just don't sit with the band
right and I need summit but I'm really unsure
the vox sounds great but I need more clean headroom what
does anybody recomend??

Hey,

You could use the EQ on the top boost channel to shape the sound to cut through the mix more? I
use the brilliance switch with a tele on bridge pup and it's like a box of razor blades! Also
you can get 2x12 extension cab which would increase the volume when running clean...

Or get a twin!!!

Cheers

I'm running the ac30cch through a marshal 2x12, and really can't imagine playing rock n roll through anything else. It does break up moderately early, so you know you won't be getting twin-like cleans.
