the ac-30's are excellent amps but the orginal models were kinda bad cause
they ran so hot and burnt out the valves [tubes] really fast, newer models
have larger heat vents for longer life of the valves.
interesting note: jeremy plays vox because the beatles used them, and so
does u2 guitarist the edge.
