Some models have a problem in the FX loop, where the amp loses all the bottom end becaused of a. It is very harsh and piercing and nothing like the sound that comes out of the PA or that you hear on recordings. Lacks a bit of bottom end, for the Wharfedale speakers. I have been at the front at several Queen concerts and Brian May concerts and have heard the sound coming directly from Brian May’s amps. Fender Tweed bronco - 1 (Anchorage) Rare 15 watt SS Tweed Fender bronco amp Like new barely used excellent condition from a private. So the guitar sound you hear at a Queen concert through the PA is a G12H Anniversary. Vox AC30CC2 - 850 (Wasilla) Vox AC30CC2 with cover for sale. Theres the custom classic series (AC30cc2, I own one), the custom series.
I use the amp for things that sound like Crowded House, Counting Crows and Radiohead, but it is also used in full Brian May mode (with a Yonderbosk BC149 Treble Booster) in a Queen tribute band, with a Weber Mass 100W attenuator to keep the volume at a manageable level.įor the Brian May sound people automatically think Celestion Alnico Blue, but in the amps that Brian May uses live he has a Blue and a G12H Anniversary and it is the G12H that is mic’ed, not the Blue. First let me make clear what version of the AC30 youre talking about. So I was planning on fitting two different speakers into the AC30. the only thing i would change is the switch for two bias settings. theyre pretty well reviewed, and have basically any feature id throw in if i would build one from, say, a weber kit. I think it is a great way to broaden the tone of the cab and gives you more options for micing when recording. Re: Vox AC30CC2 Post by spaceace76 » Sat 10:19 am ive thought about the cc2 quite a bit myself. The stock Wharfedale speakers are ok, but I’d like to fit something better. As stock it was a bit like a modern take on an AC30 sound rather than the real thing.
I have a 2007 Vox AC30CC2 which has had the Lyle Caldwell mods done to it to make it sound a bit more like a 60s AC30. The cone and speaker leads are in perfect condition - Came out of a Vox AC30CC2 model, replaced with Alnico Blues.
