Just says AC30vr. Think it just has one preamp tube.

Like this one.

Very big, basic vox clean tone, horrible drive channel. Unless it’s very cheap, best avoided.

Yeah I’ve had the AC30VR before and I’d tend to agree with Polar Bear. The clean channel is not too bad, but it seemed to lack a bit of depth and warmth. With the amps that you’ve owned I’m sure you’d be a little underwhelmed by it.

Must be all those missing tubes.
