MARSHALL PLEXI vs VOX AC30. Which is BETTER? Let the tone battle begin!

Can you really tell the difference between a VOX AC30 and a Marshall Plexi?

Which is better?

In this video, we compare two legendary rock amps using high-quality Fractal FM3 simulations.
Stratocaster and Les Paul guitars are used to highlight pickup dynamics and tonal response.

We explore edge-of-breakup tones and Klon-style overdrive settings on both amps.
Discover how the AC30 reacts with EL84 tubes and bright harmonics.
Hear the Plexi’s punchy mids and aggressive growl with humbuckers and single coils.

This is a blind tone test—can you guess which amp is playing?
