Great amp.
I have one of this Vox AC 30s. Mine is 1965 reverb head and i converted to tob boost. I have 2X12 GreenBack AC 50 Cab that the head goes to cab. In the past i sold 1969 ac top boost. So this one is my second Vox. This amps are great sounding all style amps. EL 84s make the amp very recognizable in the mix and if you have write tubes you get nice "cranked amp crunch distortion" sound out of it.

work as a music producer in my country. Turkey. I have a band too. I also played for people at the concerts for many years. So i played modern pop to blues and almost all kind of rock music. I lived and play music several years in New York too. I can say that Vox AC 30 was mine main amp. I used Fender to Bogner Mesa Boogie to Marshall and owned them. But Vox is the real deal. What do i think its best suited for... it depends on the sound in you. If you want more headroom change the tubes use less breaking el 84s. But maybe you love less headroom again the tubes.. And Vox AC 30s are most pedal friendly amps in my opinion. Speakers are also very important. Greenbacks and alnico blues are the most cpmmon speakers. If you like more mids go for the alnicos. I prefer greenbacks for all around music.
