Nothing compares for this price
Straight out of the box ,I was surprised how good this was, no fizzyness, very quiet, excellent and very loud cleans and the distorted sound is brilliant, sounds good down low too ,but so much better at close to full power, but don't try this at home the roof will probably take off and loose windows will follow, I built a isobox from 6x 122cmx 60cm sheets of 18 mm mdf and lots of rock wool and lots of glue and 2 million screws, put a 16 ohm celestion creamback in it and miked it with sm57 and senheisser mk4 going into the souncard and yamaha hs8's .........bliss.... and its hard to get a good sounding gtr in hs 8's, so very happy and I can turn it all the way up if needed , and not destroy everybody's ears, but don't need to as the sweet spot comes in a lot earlier, hope it will last as it a great sounding amp. really shines when you turn it up, as with all tube amps. This is a very simple amp and its so easy to dial in compared to a lot of others.

This amp truly surprised me.
It has that "Voxy" sound of the classic AC30. They did a great job with this new Celestion speaker made for this model. I use it mainly for rehearsals but I plan on use it live soon.
Pros:
- The sound! Either you're going for more drive or cleaner sounds, this amp delivers. It's loud, but can be real soft with the volume knob at minimum (I would dare say even bedroom level)
- Reverb is really good, not to much submersed even at max
- FX Loop. Just sounds like heaven with a delay pedal
- The looks. It's simply a wonder for the eyes
Cons:
- Even though it's a lot lighter than the original AC30, it's heavy to carry around.
Thomann's deliver was spot on as usual, and I couldn't be happier with the amp. Strongly recommend.

Little big sound
Had a 2 speaker AC, too heavy and never needed the two channels. Miss the vibrato but this AC30 is awesome. Sounds great, same power, same vibe, same look.

Fine work horse, but misses some of that VOX warmth
I love the simplicity of this amp. Sounds fine, but lacks a bit of that VOX warmth. Maybe that is because it is technically a hybrid, maybe it's the speaker, I'm not sure. But it does what it should and does it good :-) You can't really go wrong with this one. The 1 x 12 Celestion is enough to drive the block crazy, I don't miss my 2 x 12 at all. Effects loop is perfect. Reverb is digital and sounds just fine.

Compact AC30 for gigging
Pros :
+ Amp is smaller and also lighter than the regular AC30, so its better for gigging.
+ Digital Reverb sounds very good and it has a wider range.
+ Amps is very loud so it can handle every sized gig, but can be used at lower volumes thanks to Master section.
+ Effects loop
Cons :
- No tremolo
- Maybe the Handles on sides will be a good idea, it's still heavy for what it is.
- After longer playing, it's getting pretty hot

Classic sound that lasts you a lifetime
Being slightly cheaper than the C2, it still sounds massive. If you want to use it at home be careful! It is quite heavy, but so are other comparable amps. It's even more practical than the C2 if you want to capture with one mic!
Pros:
- Massive classic sound
- A lot of headroom for clean sounds
Cons:
- Does not include the tremolo or the analogue reverb

Stopped Dead second Rehearsal restarted after 30mins Unreliable
I own Vox ac30 cc2 12 years also Vox ac15c1 6 years both gigged and rehearsed with out any issues all maintained and regularly re-valved.
I suspect pcb over heating issues why else have has a power saving momentary on/off switch circuit been added ,I suspect not to save the planet none of the above mentioned amps have these circuits.
Bottom Line I would never gig this amp which sounds great but a new amp cutting out with suspected over heating issues . I've returned it and awaiting money return
