Vox AC30 CC2x: Repaired, Modded, and Resurrected!

Welcome to another BCE video where amps come to rock n’ roll once again! This amp comes from just down the highway with a tendency to eat too many fuses for breakfast!! In this video, I show the initial inspections and the work I did on the amp to breathe life back into it. I did more than fix the main issue causing the fuses to blow! I also made a few reliability improvements to the power supply, output tubes, biasing, and while under the hood I swapped in some better quality parts and small but might modifications to the preamp that I saw fit! It is still very much, if not more so, a true vox as seen back in the day.

A true sound demo will come soon! Plans to see how the amps with both alnico blues compares with a greenback/alnico blue combination!
