Different Head with Vox AD30VT?

Ericdb_1 · November 2nd, 2009, 05:14 PM

I have the Vox Valvetronix AD30VT and enjoy it quite a bit. I got it to learn about different amp sounds, through the modeling, as I added an electric to my collection. I always figured that, though I have several choices on the AD30VT, I'd probably wind up sticking with one or two, which would then inform my choice of real tube amp I might buy in the future.

Well, that's what's happened and I'm now keenly interested in picking up a Vox AC4TV. I'm curious, though, if I can simply buy the head & run it through the AD30VT cabinet, rather than having to buy the combo unit. Maybe it wouldn't ultimately make sense, but is it possible? At the least, I'd save $50 and, well $50 is $50.

I'm trying to remember how mine was set up - its' closed back right? You would have to open it up to hook up the AC4.

More importantly is how many ohms the speaker is. I think the 2 amps use speakers with different ratings - one is 4 and the other 16. Check out the Vox website to make sure of that.
