I wouldn't say that they replicate an AC-30, but they have a very good class "A" tone anyway. They are plenty loud and cut through pretty well in rehearsals and small gigs. Kinda heavy because of the particle board cab, and the speaker is marginal. I'd like to hear one with a Weber Blue or a Celestion Blue speaker...although those speakers would cost about half of what the amp goes for used. I see the Ampegs in mint cond around $275-300 all the time.
