Guitarist september 2018

his year is Vox’s 60th birthday, a

rare event for any manufacturer and

one that underlines Vox’s legendary

status in the electric guitar universe. As part

of the celebrations, we’ve already been treated

to a bevy of stunning new products this year,

and here we’re looking at two tempting

amps that combine cutting-edge technology

with vintage style and tone in typical Vox

fashion: the AC30S1 combo and the Mini

Superbeetle 25 stack.

The AC30S1 is essentially a stripped-

down AC30, with a single channel based on

the classic Top Boost circuit and a slightly

narrower cabinet holding a single 12-inch

loudspeaker. The Mini Superbeetle takes
