The AC15 and AC30 remain the core of the lineup, with Class A circuits and EL84 power tubes, and they come in several versions: Custom Classic models, a Hand-Wired line with point-to-point construction, and smaller amps like the AC4 and AC10. Vox has also built other designs, including the Night Train and the Valvetronix modeling amps. Because the brand has been built under a succession of owners and in different factories since the 1980s, the model, series, and country of manufacture are worth checking on any used Vox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat drives value in a used Vox\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel and line\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hand-Wired and Custom Classic amps, and AC30 models in particular, generally hold their value best.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakers\u003c\/strong\u003e — Celestion Greenbacks, Alnico Blues, and other speaker choices change the sound noticeably, and they’re one of the biggest factors in value.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginality\u003c\/strong\u003e — original tubes, speakers, and electronics matter.

The AC15 reaches its natural breakup at lower volumes, which suits smaller rooms and recording, and the AC30 has more headroom and projection for larger stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to bias a Vox AC30 when I replace the tubes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-0\"\u003eMany AC15 and AC30 models use a cathode-biased design, which means there’s no bias adjustment when you replace the EL84 tubes. Designs and versions vary, so confirm with a qualified technician if you’re not sure, and we’re happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers do Vox amps use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-0\"\u003eIt depends on the model. Many AC30 and AC15 amps use Celestion speakers such as the Greenback or the Alnico Blue, which are known for a chimey, responsive sound. We note the speakers in every listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you ship amplifiers, and how are they packed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-0\"\u003eYes, we ship amplifiers nationwide and internationally, with careful attention to packing given the weight of the amp and the fragility of the tubes. Every amp is insured in transit. Import duties and taxes for international orders are the buyer’s responsibility and vary by destination country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I trade my current amp toward a used Vox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-0\"\u003eYes, we accept trades toward amplifiers in our inventory, including full collections. Reach out with details and photos of your amp and we’ll provide a trade valuation.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/used-vox-amplifiers-for-sale.oembed","provider":"Mahar's Vintage Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
