It was introduced in 1958 to meet the growing demand for louder amplifiers. Characterised by its "jangly" high-end sound it has become widely recognized by British musicians and others, such as George Harrison and John Lennon of the Beatles, Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones, Brian May of Queen, Dave Davies of the Kinks and Hank Marvin. Quotes about the Vox AC30 [Vox's] most successful amplifier is the AC30 combo, which provides 30 watts of power via two 2x12 Celestion Greenback speakers. Despite its compact size, this all-valve unit is surprisingly powerful and can be seen gracing the backlines of some of the world's largest stages. Luke Mitchell of SlashGear (October 9, 2023) Although Vox typically conjures up images of ‘60s pop and retro jangle, plenty of raunchy blues tones on Brian Jones-era Rolling Stones records came courtesy of an AC15, while an AC30 in combination with a Dallas Rangemaster treble booster was the mainstay of Rory Gallagher’s fiery signature sound.
