Some good advice though, if you are a home player you just won't get satisfaction from any AC30, you will never be able to drive it hard enough to reach it's potential - without blowing the windows out ! Buy an AC-4, I practice with one and it would be harder NOT to get the sound.
Thanks Dave, most kind of you re the advice. I do have a couple of VOX AD30 VTs? Would they be able to ""get it"?
Yes, I have one of those at it does a good early Shads tone as well as the later 'Burns' sound.
For the vintage tone you put the first control (gain) at no more than ten to the hour - bass off altogether - mid full on - treble about ten to. Use the AC15 and turn all the effects off to start with. On the Middle pickup you should hear a great Gonzales/Frightened City tone. Let me know how you get on.
