Vox AC30CCH, AC30CC2X, AC30CC1 specification

8)Bass: This controls the bass (low) frequencies in your sound — from warm and light when turned down (counterclockwise) to dark and heavy when turned up full (clockwise) and all points in-between.

9)Reverb Section: This section allows you to control the Reverb for both channels by adjusting the Tone and Mix controls as well as the Dwell switch. You can remotely switch the reverb On or Off with the supplied footswitch.

Tone: This controls the high and low frequencies of the reverb. You can add brightness to the reverb by turning it clockwise or add darkness by turning it counterclockwise. Experiment with this con- trol to see which setting(s) work best for you.

Dwell mini toggle: This controls the amount of drive that’s going to into the reverb.

Low Drive: Use this when you are using a higher gain sound

High Drive: Use this when you are using a lower gain, “cleaner” sound.

Mix: This controls the mix (amount) of reverb in your sound. Turning this knob fully clockwise will give you a wet, saturated sound while counterclockwise will give you a drier sound.

10)Tremolo Section: This section allows you to control the Tremolo for both channels on this amplifier by adjusting the Speed and Depth.You can remotely switch the reverb On or Off with the supplied footswitch.

Speed: As you might have guessed, this controls the speed of the built-in Tremolo.

Depth: This controls the depth (intensity) of the built-in tremolo.

11)Cut: This circuit is placed in the power amp as opposed to the preamp section like the Treble and Bass controls. What this does is the opposite of what you may think. Turning it clockwise will decrease the higher frequencies and turning it counterclockwise adds higher frequencies.

12)Master Volume: This controls the overall (Master) volume of your amplifier. Cleaner sounds can be achieved by lowering the Normal or Top Boost volumes and raising the Master. Setting the Master lower and the Normal and Top Boost volumes higher will give you a fatter, more distorted tone.

As with all the controls of this amplifier, please experiment with different configurations to find the tones that fit your playing style.

13)Standby Switch: This switch allows the amplifier to attain the correct working temperature before applying the H.T. supply. Before connecting the amplifier to the Mains supply, ensure the Power and Standby switches are in the off position. Turn on the Power switch first and then wait 2–3 minutes before turning on the Standby switch. Doing this each time you play helps prolong tube life. The Standby switch is also very useful for playing live as it allows you to keep the valves at a functional temperature between sets.

14)Power Switch: This is the ON/OFF switch for the power to the amplifier.

Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and unplugged before being moved.
