Vox AC30/15 Mods
Do yall think its possible to mod the handwired series AC15 units to have the less interactive tone stack ala the custom classic units that have the custom/normal EQ switch and the brilliance switch on the norm channel? or is the circuit too different from each other?

Re: Vox AC30/15 Mods
I'm leaning towards yes but no. too much work and too much point to point flying mods. if you want it on one board without being all hacked up I would just sell it and buy a kit for the head.

Re: Vox AC30/15 Mods
Compared to the rest of the world the AC-30 bass control is mis-wired in a way that offers distinctive interactive tonal control. It's a very similar tone stack to that in tweed Fender's like the Super and Pro except for the wiring change. If your model has the classic Vox tone-stock wiring I'd have to assume this could easily be changed.

Re: Vox AC30/15 Mods
as far as im aware they have the same stack the only difference being that the switch switches lug 1 of the bass pot to ground
