VOX AC15/30 Cones

[joemwalker]

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know what speaker is in hanks ac30? Will it still be the standard celestion blue in his amps or has he gone for something else now?

Also apparently you need to change valves in the amps now and again through the years and i was wondering what were the valves in the original vox ac15 in the 60s? And what valves is in his current amps?

Someone told me that at one point he had put in a fender cone into a vox amp?

Cheers

Joe

Hi Joe,

The AC30 in Hank's studio (from the mid 1970's) has a pair of grey ceramic Celestions. I very much doubt that cones were ever changed and one from a different manufacturer probably wouldn't fit anyway.

I have no idea what valves would have been in the original AC15's, most probably just whatever they had to hand at the time. His current amp has mainly JJ tubes in the preamp and Electroharmonix (I think) in the output. I don't know what were in the JMI's he used on the Reunited tour.

Paul.
