My teacher has a very old Vox amp from the 80's I think and it sounds great. It has a good old rock tone.

Vox amps have a EXCELLENT rock tone. Sounds great with like.. a les paul or a gibson sg.

Theres no way i would get one for metal though. Just not that kind of amp. Its a vintage tone. I mean damn just look at it.

AC30's are great for classic rock,not modern metal,though.Try one with a boost in front of it.

They're considered a "vintage gain" amp... kinda like orange or fender... you might be able to boost it enough to get a hardcore/post-hardcore or emo/screemo guitar tone... but thats probably as far as you will get.

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!
