I need to not watch your videos. They make me feel spendy
dude, you got a '65 ... it's not a '64. serial number 18xxxx clearly puts it in '65. also dome voltage selector is a giveaway. '64's had pill selectors. looks like perhaps someone put a '65 chassis in a older cabinet to make it look more '64. anyway, still nice amp.
Bold prediction: Rhett will never buy a house.
if there wasn’t vox, those british bands would have just used something else.... the musicians make music, not the amp...
You of course realize, that you've most likely bought the last amp in your life? The Edge bought his in 1978 (he was 17 years old) and he used it on every live show and every album ever since. In the meantime: 3000 live shows, 170 million records sold, 22 grammys. And his 1964 AC30 was on every one of these.
Holy Grail indeed! As a 70 year old who experienced the British Invasion first hand from the vantage point of a small midwestern farming community I can't tell you how it does my heart good to see a young man like you caring so deeply about the amp that made so much of that music possible. I would never have dreamed that the music and the gear of my youth (and even before my time) would resonate with musicians for so many years. It's astonishing. Hats off to you, Rhett, for keeping the thread intact while also making it your own. You'll do great things with that amp I have no doubt. 👏
I’ll tell my kids to find someone who feels about them, the way Rhett feels about that amp
Are you sure you have a 1964? Historical documentation says your amp is 1965 Rhett.
One of the best amps ever!!!
The Edge -U2 = classic VOX.
Hi
Congrats man, sounds legendary👍🏻✌🏻
To this day I still remember sitting on the floor in front of our tiny black and white tv with a very rounded 'screen'/tube and watching The Beatles come to America and play on Ed Sullivan. I was hooked for life... It's one of the few TV memories that I'll never forget.
I really loved the storytelling in this video. well done Rhett, so stoked on this acquisition for you!
I'd love to hear you playing a Rickenbacker through that amp.
The AC-30/15 pairs amazingly well with filtertron pickups. It makes my Gretsch sound so insanely good. Absolutely love it.
I managed to score one of these today, a 1962 model judging by the date code on one of the tubes! A woman I know who works in a recycling yard sent me a WhatsApp message to say they had just found a really scruffy amplifier in a dumpster load that had came in over the weekend and asked it if was too scruffy to be worth anything. It took a few moments to realise I was looking at an early 1960s version in the beige/fawn color (not black).
Brian May lead tone❤️🙏
Hmm...I can't agree that Dylan going electric and The Beatles blowing up was the death of folk music in the 60s...folk remained a massive influence all through that period...The Byrds, The Beatles, Zeppelin (just to name a few) all used explicitly folk influences and elements in their music and by the early 70s folk artists like James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and CSN(Y) were the biggest selling acts around
