Vox AC 30 'Brian May' 1964

What an amazing treat we have here! We all know that for the true Brian May sound nothing but an AC30 will do - well here we have an original 60s VOX AC30 that ha been refurbed and modified by non other that Brians amp tech - Michael Knight - to ensure the amp gives it's amazing and distinctive tones! All the papers that come with there among show that all and any updates were carried out by Knight Audio Technologies for Brian May. 

This means that not only is it a rare and collectible amplifier in off itself but also one that has been fine tuned to support the Maestro himself, Sir Brian May! Any replacement parts are vintage and relevant to the amplifier time and tone meaning specific capacitors of the years noted were used ensuring the vintage and unique the is not at all comprised for Brians main gig amplifier. What an incredible treat and we would urge fans to come and try out the amp in our numerous sound proofed listening booths as soon as possible...

Regarding the AC30 amp, Brian May himself has had many a quote extolling the virtues of the AC30 sound, and also the ease of use and ability to realise the very boost tones. Just recently he said, "You, like me, are unimpressed by dozens of controls on a guitar amplifier. You want ONE knob, and it sounds perfect, right? Well, this is it. To the best of our capability and belief, here is an amp you will never have to mess with. If it sounds great with you today, it will always sound great. Power up, plug in, turn up the ONE control knob, and play." Easy Brian, right ? :)

The AC30BM was primarily hand wired, except for the rear panel mounted treble booster, which was a modification favoured by any a Queen hit song.

There's many other aspects to discuss and our team of professional amplifier technicians would be more than happy to do so. Alternatively bringing along your favourite guitar or using many from our plethora of rare and vintage guitars means you can transform yourself into the world of Queen...
