Korg D4 owner manual VOX AC15, VOX AC30

Page 77

open backed cab using four 10" 8 Ohm speakers, wired in parallel for a total of 2 Ohms impedance. Although origi- nally intended for bass guitar, this speaker rocks for many different styles.

VOX AC15

This is a 1x12" open backed combo using the famed VOX Blue Alnico speaker, manufactured by Celestion in Ipswich, England. The one we used was a modern re-issue that was housed in the VOX AC15TB combo. This speaker, which is 8 Ohms impedance, 15 Watts power handling, is amazingly full-bodied for a 1x12 open back cab, and, of course, helps bring the famous VOX chime to the forefront.

VOX AC30

Obviously, double the power – double the speakers. 2x12" VOX Blue Alnicos, wired in series for 16 Ohms, adds even more of that great VOX tone. This time we modelled some great sounding originals from way back in the ’60s. As speakers get old their tone changes, so this configuration adds a different slant on how these speakers sound.

AD412

This cabinet is one of VOX’s latest products, and due to the fact we are extremely proud of it, and that it is without a doubt an exceedingly great sounding cabinet, we just had to include it with our cabinet models. The cabinet itself fea- tures custom designed Celestion speakers using Neody- mium magnets, one of the first, if not the first, cabinet to use this technology. It also uses some special cabinet acoustic design technology that is also a first for VOX and 4x12s in general. Use it as a valid tonal option with any model, but especially the amp head models. We think you will like it!

UK H30

This is an older, heavy-duty cabinet (with 30 Watt speak- ers, from the late ’60s) made by the same famous UK amp company as the UK T75 4x12. Many of these cabinets have been used on countless classic rock recordings throughout the past. Now you can get that great tone direct to tape.

UK T75

This 4x12" model is of a famous, UK built, black box loaded with modern, 75 Watt British speakers. Normally seen stacked, this is probably the biggest selling guitar cabinet ever and is eminently suitable for most rock styles. How could we not model it?!

US V30

This black beast of a cabinet hails from the same home in California as our US Modern amp. It uses four UK made “Vintage” named speakers.

It is renowned for its deep bass and high-end detail and is extremely popular amongst today’s “nu-metal” expo- nents. We think you know what we mean!

2. BASS CABINET

B LA4X10

This models an LA sound cabinet containing four 10 inch speakers.
