It\u2019s also a good choice if you\u2019re playing in your bedroom, as the lower wattage allows you to reach saturation without blasting the neighbors.<\/li><li><strong>Go for Vox AC30 if <\/strong>you need maximum clean headroom, are using the amp for live performances, or need an effects loop for connecting external pedals. It\u2019s also a great choice if you have a couple of different guitars with different output levels, as it has high and low input jacks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/VOX-AC15C1X-Guitar-Combo-Amplifier\/dp\/B00EZRDGQO\/?tag=music093e-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/talkinmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pasted-image-0-9.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/VOX-AC15C1X-Guitar-Combo-Amplifier\/dp\/B00EZRDGQO\/?tag=music093e-20\" class=\"button button-centered\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Check Latest Price<\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Sounds_and_tones_Vox_AC15_vs_Vox_AC30\"><\/span><strong>1. Sounds and tones: Vox AC15 vs Vox AC30<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clean_tones\"><\/span><strong>Clean tones<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both amps offer pretty much the same tonal palette, using the same preamp circuits and speaker offerings (which we\u2019ll discuss soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clean channel on these amps is decidedly mid-focused, with a present, jangly tone that isn\u2019t crazy sparkly. For example, you\u2019d probably find an AC amp to have a bit less top-end than a Fender amp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amps are a fantastic platform for pedals, allowing you to throw in a compressor or delay pedal for a variety of different clean tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overdrive_tones\"><\/span><strong>Overdrive tones<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these Vox amps get firmly into crunchy drive territory, though neither will compete with the balls-to-the-wall high-gain tones from the likes of a JCM900 or 5150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crank up the gain on either amp and you\u2019ll get a nice classic rock crunch tone, or throw a TS9 in front for a more highly-drive Texas blues tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lead_tones\"><\/span><strong>Lead tones<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The top boost channel on either amp is a good fit for lead tones. As you imagine, you\u2019ve got more high-frequency energy happening here, which helps overdriven lead tones really cut through in a mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the whole, both amps deliver pretty the same tonal elements, so this one is a tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sounds and tones Winner: <\/strong>Tie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/store\/detail\/AC30C2--vox-ac30c2-30-watt-2x12-inch-tube-combo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/talkinmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pasted-image-0-10.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/store\/detail\/AC30C2--vox-ac30c2-30-watt-2x12-inch-tube-combo\" class=\"button button-centered\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Check Latest Price<\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Tubes_and_power_Vox_AC15_vs_Vox_AC30\"><\/span><strong>2.

If I want to record a clean loop and then solo over it with a more driven tone, the only way to achieve this is to have the looper in the effects loop.
