The inside story of the AC30S1 

I just ordered mine today and I also have a baja, any tone tips?

They're very different amps,in numerous ways.

@@bootlegapples Yes, I suppose so. I didn't expect they would sound so different though.

@@ChoppaWhoppa1 If you have a vintage AC30 it may well feature alnico speakers (blue and/or silver)You might try running the new AC through the old/broken in speakers.That may be a big chunk of the difference.If it satifies you a speaker swap may remedy the situation.

@@bootlegapples That would probably made a huge difference, I've sold it now though. I also think the rectifier tube in the vintage ones was an important feature for achieving that classic sag when pushed hard. The C2 just never got into that tonal area at all. Not a bad sounding amp, but not what I was looking for at the time.

@@bootlegapples the S1 has an effects loop which the AC does not..

It's a real Vox...I have had a few Vox amps and this is the best one I have played. (I have nevered owned HW for the record)

It’s an amazing amp

@@Oceantreasures24 one plus is that it has an effects loop ...that means you can plug an EQ pedal into ..
