People began to refer to these amplifiers as AC30TBs. Ventilation was provided by three small brass vents on the top of the cabinet, and the TV-front's single suitcase type handle was replaced with three leather straps.Ībout this time, the "Top Boost" or "Brilliance" feature became available as Vox's optional addition of a rear panel-mounted circuit that introduced an extra gain stage and tone controls for bass and treble as opposed to the single "tone" control of earlier AC30s. The front baffle was now divided by a thin gold-toned strip with the upper valence covered in fawn Rexine, and the lower grille covered in brown diamond cloth. ByVox had forsaken the more conservative TV-front look for the now legendary cabinet design that has remained largely unchanged since The new cabinets featured a different covering known as fawn Rexine, which was a sort of beige leathercloth with a subtle printed grain. These early amps sported a thin white covering "Rexine" with a small printed diamond pattern and larger diamond pattern grill cloth. This first generation of AC30s were housed in "TV-front" cabinets, much like the early to mids tweed Fender amps, and had a single inch Goodmans watt speaker, as opposed to the later, conventional twin inch speaker configuration. The Vox AC30 was originally introduced in at Hank Marvin 's request as the "big brother" of the fifteen watt 15 W AC15 model, Vox's original flagship amplifier, because the AC15 was not loud enough with the screaming fans at Cliff Richard 's concerts. Characterised by its "jangly" high-end sound it has become widely recognized by British musicians and others.
