Guys, who makes a righteous Vox AC30 clone ? Anybody ? I've played some newer Vox AC30s and they don't really sound like a vintage AC30 to my ears...so who in the boutique market makes the best clone ? Thanks !
 
For AC15's it's Magic amps. For AC30's my favorite is a JMJ 30 but good luck getting one. Don Butler modded Vox AC30HW sounds great. The Hayseed 30 is also a very nice amp. I've played many old AC30's and when you find a good one, nothing touches it.
 
Valvetech Hayseeds are dead on and you can get extra options. I've had the 30 and now I have a 15 with reverb, trem and ef86 options.
 
It's not exactly a straight clone as far as I know, but the Divided by 13 RSA31 is the best sounding AC30-style amp I've ever played.
 
Got be more clones from this amp. How about a Clone AC30 head?
 
Not AC30 clones but Ceriatone Dizzy 30 (DC30) and Rock it (Trainwreck Rocket) are probably in the ballpark.
 
Top Hat King Royale or the ValveTech Hayseed. The build quality on the Top Hat is truly amazing and they sound killer. I have an older Club Royale and it is a beautiful sounding amp. I have also had a Valvetech, not the Hayseed but the VAC 25 and they are really nice designs. Rob the builder is really cool and helpful. Seems like a mad scientist type guy as his amps have tons of options. Surprised more people don't know about the VAC 25 it really is an awesome amp.
 
Not an expert by any means but really loved the Morgan DAG15 I had last year. Really fun to play. Believe it was more of an AC30 top boost circuit.
