There are three kinds of tubes in an AC-30CC2.
Pull the chassis straight out of the cabinet and set it on a work surface with the plywood "slider" supprt board facing down The screws are about 2" long, they will require lots of turns to remove.įor clarity, this is the top side of the "chassis rail." The chassis is actually resting on this strip of wood.Īfter the four vertical facing machine screws are removed, the chassis will then slide out of the cabinet.Īnother view of the chassis sliding out of the cabinet, exposing the tubes. These go through the "slider rail." Two screws each are on the left and right skier rails of the amp, near the speakers. Remove four machine screws that face the top of the amp. On these amps, you must unsolder the leads to the speakers and remove the reverb pan to remove the amp chassis. Additionally, unclip the red and black speaker wires from the plywood board that supports the chassis.Įarlier production models have hard wired speaker wires and non-detachable reverb leads. Pull two reverb and one speaker cable ends off their chassis mounted jacks.

Later production of the AC30CC Series amps have speaker and reverb cables that are detachable from the chassis. Removing the lower back makes removing the chassis easier, but is not totally necesaary. Here is how.ĭisconnect the power cord from both the amp and the wall socket. It isn't hard to change tubes on a Korg/Vox AC30CCSeries Amp.

I was able to reach through the holes and resolder the connections, and things are back to normal. Looking through the holes in the vertical preamp chassis I could see that not only was pin seven-the one at issue-on the first preamp tube a lousy solder job, but pin seven on the second preamp tube was equally dodgy. So, I tightened up the tube socket pins and retested and things were still on again, off again. Then, as if by magic the normal channel sprung to life. Then a little grid disturbance testing led me to the first preamp tube's normal channel grid which produced no noise. I started checking voltages and the preamp voltages seemed OK. I got a little time today to dig into things and schlepped the chassis out and down to the laboratory. She was acting more like Roseann Barr at that point. Of course he more or less figured out at that point he was a Fender guy at heart, and so am I, which is why Sophia Loren was up for sale anyway. So a guy came to look at the amp and the normal channel quit working right in the middle of my sales pitch. I mean, you have to know that this amp has never been abused or scorned-it has never left my non smoking house either. It also supports the notion that things have feelings and ways of punishing us. This may be a cautionary tale about Resistentialism-which is the philosophical notion that things are out to get us. I've got a Vox AC30CC2 named Sophia Loren that is presently up for sale.
