The Challenge is simple.
Using Brian Mays signature series MV50 & amPlug by Vox… How close can I get them to sound like the real & raw vintage tube powered AC30 combo with a period correct treble booster pushing glorious Alnico Blue speakers?
Join me on a journey were I put the myth to rest... The ultimate Vox showdown…
AC30 vs MV50-Bm vs amPlug-Bm… Fight!!!!
The 4 key sound aspects being tested are
1. MV50-Bm - headphone output
2. MV50-Bm - speaker output directly into the AC30 speakers (AC30s amp is disconnected)
3. Treble boosted AC30 loaded with 1x Alnico Blue & 1x 70th anniversary speakers (just like Mr Mays live rig) but ONLY the Alnico blue is mic'd
4. amPlug-Bm - headphones output
All the below time stamps will take you directly to the audio samples
