This exclusive collection captures the essence of the legendary 1966 Vox AC30 Top Boost, one of the most influential combos in British rock and pop history. Its classic EL84 tube circuitry, tube rectification, and 2x12 configuration with Alnico Blue speakers deliver that unmistakable chime, present mids, and bright highs that feel open, three-dimensional, and ready to sit perfectly in a mix.
Each recording was made at the exact point where this amplifier delivers its best tone, without any additional effects or processing: no reverb, no pedals, no external compression. Just the pure circuitry of the AC30 Top Boost working in its sweet spot, from crystal-clear, airy cleans when played softly, to classic British edge of breakup and crunch when the volume is turned up, with natural compression, rich harmonics, and a highly sensitive response to pick attack and guitar volume control.
This package was developed in collaboration with Javier Serrano, guitarist, producer, and tone expert with over two decades of experience. His in-depth knowledge of the original AC30s, which he has used on numerous professional recordings for clean textures, rhythms, and characterful melodic lines, allowed for the surgically precise selection of the most musical settings for the Normal and Top Boost channels, encompassing the entire tonal spectrum that makes this 1966 Vox AC30 Top Boost so iconic.
