Pedals that stack with the 1964 Vox AC30

Electro-Harmonix Micro Metal Muff TOP Boost

The Micro Metal Muff's high-gain, boosted distortion pushes the AC30's chiming British sparkle into unexpectedly heavy territory.

Sola Sound Tone Bender MK1

One documented rig runs a Tone Bender MK1 into an AC30 — the amp's chiming British sparkle gives the fuzz's raw transistor gain somewhere bright to cut through. — also used together by 1 artist

Greer Royal Velvet

The Royal Velvet's smooth, velvety fuzz thickens the AC30's own chiming British sparkle into something rounder.

Audiocade 1974 Colorsound Tremolo Clone

Add the Colorsound clone's organic, vintage tremolo pulse on top of the AC30's own chiming British sparkle for period-correct wobble.

Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer

Run the CS-2 before the AC30 for transparent, smooth compression before the amp's own chiming British sparkle reacts.

Strymon TimeLine

Run the TimeLine in the AC30's loop for warm, studio-grade digital delay beyond the amp's own chiming British sparkle. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Suhr Discovery

Keep the Discovery in the AC30's loop for transparent, natural delay beyond the amp's own bright, chiming character. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
