The AC30, fitted with alnico magnet-equipped Celestion "blue" loudspeakers and later Vox's special "Top Boost" circuitry, and like the AC15 using valves (known in the US as vacuum tubes), helped to produce the sound of the British Invasion, being used by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and the Yardbirds, among others. ![]() In 1959, with sales under pressure from the more powerful Fender Twin, by request from The Shadows, who requested amplifiers with more power, Vox produced what was essentially a double-powered AC15 and named it the AC30. Main article: Vox AC30 The Vox AC30 amplifier Features simplified from the AC15 included a tremolo effect (mislabeled as "vibrato"), a single, shared Tone control, and smaller output transformer. Vox released the 12-watt AC10 in late 1959 as a student model, originally as a 1x10-inch combo and later as a 2x10-inch combo. It was popularised by The Shadows and other British rock 'n' roll musicians and became a commercial success. In 1958 the 15-watt Vox AC15 amplifier was launched "vox" simply being the Latin word for "voice". The company was renamed Jennings Musical Industries, or JMI. In 1956, Jennings was shown a prototype guitar amplifier made by Dick Denney, a big band guitarist and workmate from World War II. Jennings's first successful product was the Univox, an early self-powered electronic keyboard similar to the Clavioline. The Jennings Organ Company was founded by Thomas Walter Jennings in Dartford Kent, England after World War II. Since 1992, Vox has been owned by the Japanese electronics firm Korg.

How would you connect the cabinet to the combo? If I use the extension speaker jack on the combo, will that disengage the internal speaker of the combo? What ohm's are those speakers? Cause the ext. Where can I get those connector so I can make a better quality cable. And then the speaker cable is spliced and taped with black electrical tape onto an even lower quality speaker cable (wire is a more appropriate name) that has those connecters that slide onto the tabs on the speaker. Next is, the way the guy connects the speaker cab is that he took a pretty low quality speaker cable and it attached it to the tabs on the speaker of the combo with the bare wire (I think it's actually twisted on them). ![]() Then there's a very slight phasey farty thing in the low end.ĭoes anyone care to share their settings? Where do you keep the pre volume in correlation to the master volume? When I put a fuzz in front of the amp I'm getting a fizzy, raspy thing going on in the high end. But there are some things I'm concerned about and I was hoping other Pathfinder owners can school me. Both are in great shape and all in all sound pretty good. ![]() ![]() The combo has a blue Vox speaker and the cabinet has a Vox speaker but it's silver (they both have the same sticker: Vox Heavy Duty, or something to that effect). $75.00 for the Pathfinder (no reverb) and the cabinet and speaker of what was once a Pathfinder with reverb (or so I was told).
