Depends how you define well... if your looking for some ballsy full on overdriven sound then no... but they do break up really nicely, I reckon it would be fine for ska/punk. I need to upload a new video as this is old now, but I put a T-rex mudhoney through it which suits the amp perfectly. really pushes it til it screams at you. So... get the amp! Then get a nice pedal to accompany it

good for heavy distortion?

[paulizdabest]

The t-rex is more an overdrive/fuzz, so if your looking for a tight high gain sound id look elsewhere, a different amp perhaps. :\ depends what style of heavy distortion your after!

i dont know i play stuff like blessthefall i dont know if your familiar with that stuff but anyways i borrowed this amp for a recording and it just sounded so good. it made my effect on my effect pedal sound way better than i thought it was. i also like how if i wanted to i could get a add-on like the 60 watt or the 120 watt speaker for this and the amp alone would be a great starting point for my progression into quality amps

[paulizdabest]

I think you may be misunderstanding the wattage. The amp is 30 watts.. adding more speakers does not change the power of the amp, so adding a 120 watt speaker just means that you could drive 120 watts into it, say for example a 100w Hiwatt or Marshall Head. This amp is LOUD though. For the stuff you are playing I really don't think this amp would suit you. Its not designed for those scooped mids tight gain sounds. Try looking at bogner, engl, mesa express etc

great video

does yours have the alnico blue's?

[paulizdabest]

not yet nah.. didnt justify the extra money when i got the amp. will upgrade at some point but im pretty happy with it. Im hoping to do a better quality video this weekend, showing both clean and overdriven, there doesnt seem to be any on youtube... nobody has actually shown what the amp can do yet!! so check back next week and i should have a new vid. this ones quite old now! iv improved my playing since :)

Just listgen to Queen music! Your answer lies there

[MrBluesmanJunior]

Killer tone! Sounds amazing!

[DavidColledani]

This is the model with the wharfedale speakers, right?

[Michaelfender]

I wish I had a Vox AC30. Saw one in a music shop a few months back, very very old and warn. It was going £600. I think my English Muff'n would sound great with this.

[ViciousMaximus]

WOw that ska rhythm is fucking amazing!!!!

[JohnnyMonstro]

this Amp. can do a concert withouth a mic on the P.A?

[aektzis91]

just fine, especially with a decent overdrive or treble booster in front
