Thomas Built is pleased to offer a base warranty of three years or 50,000 miles on the Saf-T-Liner C2. Read the info on North Coast Music, aka Vox Showroom site. Turned out they had not really had one in a couple of years. Sam Ash even told me they had a 'refurb' and I was overjoyed thinking I could get it. Anyway, my recommendation would be to find a used one from around 2005-2012, hopefully with a maple top. That’s why we build our buses to a higher standard of durability. I tried in vain the past few months to find a Vox AC15.
I am trying to fix this on my own so I can either learn something new or die from electrocution. Is the 1000 still made in Korea Even if it is, a lot of Korean instruments are now mostly being made in China so it might not be as good as Korean instruments from 10 years ago. Due to its rugged construction and conservative ratings, it is the most reliable current production EL84 type available for use in Vox AC-30 type amplifiers. The second one is just a simple 120> 24v one you can get in most hardware stores.Īny advice would be great. The Tung-Sol EL84 / 6BQ5 was a popular OEM tube for American-made EL84 / 6BQ5 guitar amplifiers, such as those built by Gibson and Harmony. Has anyone encountered this type of problem with one of these newer (2005ish) vox ac30s? I took out the pre amp board with the fx loop today, gave everything a good cleaning, tested what I could with my DMM, I've cleaned all the pots, checked the power transformer with the DMM everything seems to be okay, the power going to the rectifier is a bit high (should be 591v but instead is reading 610-620) When I turn it on the volume is almost non existent, the sound is really muddy as well regardless of what channel I have it on. i had read on here in doing my research that the first incarnations of the cc's had a problem with the rectifier tube, and that a common fix was to just keep the standby switch to on all the time. I usually use pedals for distortion so the overdrive isn't the most important thing.So awhile back I posted about replacing my transformer, found out it was the wrong type, now I have the 120>240v and a smaller 120>24v both installed. according to the previous owner, it's from 2007. Since it's got basically a top boost channel, can you still get it totally clean? If it can't be 100% clean when I need it to (on moderate levels), it's not an option. I'm not 100% happy with the VC30 (some days I like it, some days I hate it) so it does seem like an attractive option. Would you recommend the AC15 for me for the time being? If I find it as good as the AC30 I tried, maybe I won't have to get the AC30 at all until I start playing with a loud drummer.
If I do in the future, I'll spend the money I have on an AC30. The AC15 is more expensive than the VC30 so if I want to sell either one for an AC30, it's a good deal. My plans have been to get an AC30 this summer since that is basically the sound I'm looking for. Long story short (well), one guy wants me to trade his AC15 for my VC30.
