The AC30, fitted with alnico magnet-equipped Celestion 'blue' loudspeakers and later Vox's special 'Top Boost' circuitry, and like the AC15 using valves (known in the US as tubes), helped to produce the sound of the British Invasion, being used by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and the Yardbirds, among others.
