Threw all the dirt at it I could get a hold of at my AC30, I SO wanted to like that damn amp. It looked rad, and so many awesome bands use it...So I stuck to my guns, and got an AC15C2 instead, also to solve the volume/power overkill issue. Still too loud, but what's worse: Still sounded god aweful with fuzzanybody else agree or disagree ?
I've been complaining about the inability of vox amps to sound good with fuzz since I've been a member here...And roughly half of the guys who post their opinion on the subject firmly disagree with me...So yeah, I guess the best way to be sure is to try it yourself
But even though it's obviously a matter of taste, and the particular style of music/fuzz you're into...I kinda doubt most people who disagree with me have tried their fuzz peds with a vintage Marshall Superbass, a Plexi, Orange OR120, vintage twin reverb, fender tonemaster, several vintage fender combos...Not to be a whise-ass douche who boasts with his amp experience, but I've just always been more of an amp hoarder than a pedal hoarder, untill a couple years ago. I know it's probably not fair to compair a vintage 120watt Orange head to a chinese build AC30, but good fuzz-compatible amps don't *have* to cost more than $500 imo
Kinda rambling here, so...In short: Fender
well even if I love the fender sound, I think I'll see if I get an offer an probably will do the trade since a little extra money wouldn't hurt me, and if a AC15TBX pop up well.. vintage is always better huh? 
I'm just curious about voxes and if it doesn't do it for me I'll just sell it or trade it again for a DRRI...Keep the opinions coming thought!
