I had been waiting awhile too this was cheapest I had seen. The C2 apparently mdf cab, the cc2 is ply - I don’t think for what I’m playing that part will matter.Dr Tony Balls wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 12:27 pm
I've wanted to do this for a while, but free or cheap broken version are not so easy to come by. Would be so easy to just make a proper AC30 in one.
My dad gave me this little Vox Night train amp which is kind of a guitar pedal sounding piece of shit, but I use the dinky little open back Greenback cabinet it came with all the time and with all sorts of amps and I love it.TylerDeadPine wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 12:13 pm I picked up a Vox AC30c2 for $400, one of the chinese ones with greenbacks - it had a problem with the top boost channel, figured I could fix it and sell it, or rebuild into the chassis. Problem was just a coupling cap coming off v1. PCB but not surface mount, really easy to get in there and remove the boards. Less annoying than I expected. Also this thing doesn't sound as bad as I expected / remembered? Maybe I'm remembering the cc2s with the not good speakers.
May just keep it awhile
That thing is a nightmare in every perfect way. Good get!
I've gone back and forth on greenbacks and I think open back is totally the way to gollllllllllllllllllll wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 8:37 pmMy dad gave me this little Vox Night train amp which is kind of a guitar pedal sounding piece of shit, but I use the dinky little open back Greenback cabinet it came with all the time and with all sorts of amps and I love it.TylerDeadPine wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 12:13 pm I picked up a Vox AC30c2 for $400, one of the chinese ones with greenbacks - it had a problem with the top boost channel, figured I could fix it and sell it, or rebuild into the chassis.

Mother of god - please make a video!andyman wrote: Sun Mar 09, 2025 6:19 pm I picked up the wildest guitar tonight.
Someone put a classified up giving away this weird guitar for free/for the "symbol" of a cup of coffee.
I go to pick it up. It's in a homeless shelter.
Two lovely Polish builders come out and tell me their friend went back to Poland and couldn't take it.
This is the guitar:
It's a "Soviet era" guitar - a Formanta Solo, likely made in Belarus, probably made of firewood.
The left circuit is an in-built distortion pedal.
The neck is bigger than any Gibson I've held and fucking rectangular.
The input jack is like a 5 pin DIN that I need to either rip out or find an adapter for:
The dude installed a Floyd Rose on the nut.
I can't wait to plug it in.
