"Best new 50 watt tube amp that has vintage vibe, and modern tone, but still costs under a grand."

The only thing I would have added to this amp would be some built in tremolo like the AC30 has, but the fact that it has a high gain channel unlike the AC30 actually makes it more useful for me since I play heavier music. I just love built in tremolo on a Vox, but the features that this amp does have are fantastic. Sounds just as nice as a pricey vintage Marshall or Orange at 1/2-1/3 the price which rocks!
Sound
Great clean channel! This amp can do blues and classic rock, but the AC50CP2 also has enough gain for more distorted classic metal and punk rock too.
Features
Great looking grill cloth and knobs situated on the front make for easy tone adjustmants. 3 handles make carrying it not too bad even though it's 76 lbs. Sturdy 2 button metal footswitch for channel switching. Best feature is tone. The AC50CP2 sounds sweet like an AC30 on the clean channel but can get very crunchy marshall distortion on channel 2.
Ease of Use
Easy to use and simple to dial in many great tones.
Quality
This Vox is made in China, and isn't as solid as a USA made Mesa Boogie amp but it's every bit as solid as a Marshall, Peavey, Laney ect
Value
Vox Ac50CP2 is the best bang for buck new 50 watt tube amp out there right now.

"BEST OF ALL WORLDS!!!"

Don`t think that it can be replaced and if so, I would just buy another one just like it.

I have played through the best amps on the market both tube and solid state. I have played everything from gospel to metal and I can not put into words my complete thoughts of this amp. It is , without a doubt, the best all around amplifier that I`ve ever played through, borrowed or owned. The tone of this amp can only be matched by the best of the best such as Fender Supers or Mesa Boogies. But the thing is, this amp is better because of its versitility. I have never been one to use the overdrive channel on any amp but with this amp, I DO!! As stated 1000 words isnt enough to explain. Volume you ask?? It`ll break glass, tone you ask, unbelievable!! Price you ask, I still can`t believe that this amp is only $650 bucks!! You won`t beat this amp guys so jump on it while the price is so low because I imagine that this amp will be a grand before you know it.
