Vox AV30

A combo that combines the best of vintage and modern.

2017 is a significant year for Vox, marking 60 years of amp production and 25 years of since Korg became its current custodian. Today, Vox makes amps to cover practically every need, from sophisticated modelling amps to hand-wired replicas of its most famous valve models from the early 1960s. Sitting roughly in the middle of these two extremes is one of Vox’s most interesting designs, the hybrid AV (Analog Valve) series, which combines analogue solid-state and valves, together with digital effects for a unique blend of features and tones. There are three models: the 1x8 AV15 combo, the 1x12 AV60 combo and this, the 1x10 AV30.
