Use the JC40 if you want a good clean sound.ДЄctually the AC30VR isn't a stupid choice for a practice room - they're cheap, seem fairly reliable (the ones I serviced, one had a dead valve and the other a faulty speaker crimp connector, and both had an iffy pot but nothing serious) aren't too big, have a good clean-ish sound and a tolerable overdrive channelвЂ¦ they're just not loud and clean or like a real AC30. The only exception was the AD50VT original chrome grill Valvetronix that had a proper Celestion Seventy Eighty speaker which was reasonably there are three different types of room (with different prices) and they either have a Roland Cube or a JC40 or a AC30 VR.

The valvereactor circuit, as Vox calls it, is a much simpler and cheaper design than in the original Blue Valvetronix, with much lower voltage and current going through the tube, and it doesnt interact directly with speaker impedance.ДЄnd you're spot on re the speakers.they are crap, and IMO is where cost cutting was a false economy that did none of their budget amps at this level any favours. Aside from the poor speakers the amp section just isn't that loud or dynamic for 30 watts - nothing like a real AC30 as you say. The signal does genuinely pass through the valve, on both channels - because if it's dead as one of them was, the amp doesn't work - but I don't hear anything very special in them either. I have to admit to not looking very closely - I was just servicing them, not trying to reverse-engineer them - but I didn't see anything inside that looked even as sophisticated as thatвЂ¦ just a fairly basic analogue solid-state amp with a valve in it. It is solidstate and has a single 12AX7 tube only which is used in a similar way to later versions of Valvetronix amps albeit the circuitry is not digital modelling but purports to be analogue. Unless AC30VR isnt a particularly good amp.I hated it, and it isnt a proper AC30 and sounds nothing like one. I'm not actually sure, but I'm going tomorrow so can check.

Works great in a 1 guitar band but not so well in a 2 guitar band as the volume differential from say a rock rhythm crunch to fully open lead isn't massive.In a 1 guitar band thought that's fine as your not battling to get over the top of another guitar.

Occasioanlly I'll run it full up with a powerbreak and a treble booster Brian May style - great sound but its all controlled off the guitars volume pot. The C2 I had a few years ago was loud enough clean to gig with - easily so, just keep the channel volume less than halfway up.other than that I'm mystified! How loud do you need clean to be ? At half way up on an AC30 when they start to grit up they're getting a bit loud by then and a lot of bands won't play that loud! Often when I gig my AC30 its crystal clear cleans and the volumes only on 3 ! And then I get dirt from my pedals. What AC30 is it ? Is it a real valve one? Not a tranny VR or an old solid state AC30 ? They are pretty loud amps and usually stay clean till half way up on the wick.so this has me wondering.
