I think you’d end up with an elaborate vibrato intensity control. You risk adding a lotta hum by forming a ground loop between the two stages of the amp. If you try this and you do get a lot of noise you might try diconnecting the shielding ground from the amp side of one of your cords to eliminate the redundant ground.

and back to the Q, I don’t think it would exactly be a chorus-ish sound because the AC30 is a mono amp. What you’d have is a blend of “dry” and effected guitar. I have a Nobels 4-splitter for a similar purpose; flange bass while still having a straight low-end. Maybe if you could introduce a touch of delay into one chain…?

It has happened. I saw a Beatles tribute band playing at the town’s open-air gala and, from where I was in the crowd, at least two of the Voxes were shells.

[quote=”vitaminE”]At the risk of changing the subject / creating conflict / asking a stupid, rambling question; I saw a local band called The Tisdales on Saturday, and the rhythm guitarist was playing a Les Paul (loaded with so-called BurstBucker Pro pups) through a Maxon overdrive into an AC30 half stack. I was fairly excited for them to go on because I’d never heard that particular amp in person – few players in my neck of the woods gig with Vox amps.

Expecting to be engulfed by waves of warm tone, I instead was subjected to flat sonic mediocrity that could have been easily replicated by any solid state amp. Don’t get me wrong, they put on a GREAT show – the lead guitarist was playing a Bigsby-equipped Guild through a HotRod Deville that sounded amazing – but the Vox seriously failed to move me; and the guy went through a couple different settings all at high volume. Any thoughts on what the problem, if any, may have been?[/quote]

Must have been a Vox lookie likie, maybe tawainese speakers and i bet he ripped out the guts and put in a SS amp, or maybe a non-top boost model. did you investigate the gubbings? (the insides?).

Ive got no idea…. but can i just say, i think the 6 input Vox AC30 is the greatest combo ever designed, the top boost, twin blue speaker model is the best thing since sliced bread.
