ESP Navigator Les Paul MIJ with Vox AC30 Handwired Heritage Amp head

I"m playing on my new purchase - '96 ESP Navigator N-LP 380 Ltd guitar, Made In Japan. The guitar's body and neck is single Honduran Mahogany with Seymour Duncan Seth Lover's pickup. The feel of the guitar is dot like a 1959 Burst replica.
Now, I understand that a little difference in Handmade guitars makes a significant difference in your playing style and over all tone.

The amp is Vox AC30 Handwired Heritage Amp Head which I bought from UK but it's Made in China. I like this amp because while playing the full Barre Chords the distortion is same throughout the range. In this video I've linked the channel using the Patch cord and it sounds amazing - Bassy Dynamical sound of EF86 channel with the High gain sounds of TB channel. It's a good amp and once you know what to dial it can give you everything from Clean to Heavy Distortion but I like to stay in the middle :)

The 2x12 cabinet is made in India by Erisa Neogy who lives in Aurodam. The cab is loaded with Tone Tubby Alnico and Ceramic Hempcone speakers. The speakers has a wide range and as claimed by Tobe Tubby, it can produce all the sounds with equal clarity and tonal grit.

Attenuator is made by Tubejuice instead of THD Hotplate. I feel this attenuator does it's job well though I've not compared with any other.

Do leave your comment or feedback for my improvement.

Best,
VM :)

Hi, thanks for posting this.It sounds to me like the tone your'e going for is more of a tweed fender or marshall jtm45.I was wondering if you've ever tried either of those amps.

[Vaibhav8584]

@jojogun1957 I have tried many tweed amps and they are all very different. Vox is more gainier and creamier. I love playing on it but you are right I like blackface and Deluxe tone more than this.

and your speakers are made out of weed! How awesome is that?

[ct6mblack]

Very nice tone. You had me on the tone as soon as you started playing. Very warm, rich, and classic.

@Vaibhav8584 how much is it when you bought. i like navigator very much, i will buy it for next few month

[Vaibhav8584]

@peanutbutterisfu Agree and now is a different story :)

[peanutbutterisfu]

@bgstrat62 id say cuz it sounds like theres a decent tone but more practice needed

[olalator]

how much did you get your Lp?

[classicrocker08]

incredible tone for sure

[Vaibhav8584]

@marc12marc Hey thanks for looking.

It's an amazing amp and bring that classic vox flavor very well. Use it with Celestion Alnico blues and then u have the world's best tone.

The heritage version is much better than custom classic because of no interference in signal path; You get pure tone!

Good Luck
