...any guesses as to what Vox/Korg will roll out at NAMM tomorrow? More than likely the new AC30VR and AC15VR will be in the mix (already previewed at Vox Japan and a few British music shops, see link below), along with a new acoustic Vox amp with black-diamond grillcloth (AGA70) and a small (practice) bass amp based on the Pathfinder. But that's only four items - any thoughts on the other eight?

BTW, if anyone here is attending NAMM tomorrow, maybe you could post a quick review of what you see at the Vox booth?

My son is there now for Yorkville Sound. He is set up right across from Korg/Marshall/Vox booth. I'll give him a call and see if he can do some recon.

Thanks, Invoxicated! Here are the 12 new products (courtesy Vox-UK):

AMPS
1. AC30C2 / AC30C2X - latest edition of the AC30; four inputs; reconfiguration of some channel circuitry and controls; additional speaker-out jack permits use of internal speakers with an external cab; choice of either Celestion G12M Greenbacks (AC30C2) or Alnico Blues (AC30C2X)

2. AC15C1 – two inputs; circuitry reconfiguration; Greenback only

3. AC30VR - AC30 cosmetics see it here stuffed with hybrid SS/tube guts; Vox swears it reacts and sounds much like a real AC30 (unlikely, I know), but weighs 20 pounds less, is $500 - $1000 cheaper, and has solid state reliability; two custom Celestion VX12 speakers; 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tube

4. AC15VR - see above; AC15 cosmetics; see it here

5. AGA70 - two-channel acoustic amp (channel 1 = 12AU7 tube preamp / channel 2 = SS preamp); 3-band EQ each channel; 70 watts; 6.5" speaker; reverb + chorus on both channels; black diamond grill cloth

6. Pathfinder 10 Bass – cute little practice amp; 2 x 5" speakers; 10 watts; 2.5 pounds; $100

GUITARS
7. HDC-77 - variation on Virage series; semi-hollow; double-cutaway

8. SSC-55 - see above; single cut-away

9. SDC-55 - see above; double cut-away

10. SSC-33 - see above; single cut-away

11.SDC-33 - see above; double cut-away

OTHER
12. amPlug Cabinet – mini-cab (3" speaker) that converts amPlugs into micro stacks

I read a writeup on the acoustic amp. It sounded pretty interesting but the site said MSRP was gonna be $599. If you figure street price at around 70% that would make it $419. I'm still looking for the perfect acoustic amp so I might give one a shot....as long as I can return it if I dont' like it.
The guitars looked kinda cool, but if they're priced like the Virage...I'll have to pass. It wouldn't surprise me to see the AC30VR be a decent seller. Not for vintage guys of course, but maybe for the ones who got aquainted with Vox through the Valvetronix' and maybe can't (or don't want to) come up with the scratch for the real thing. If I didn't have a CC1, I'd even take a look.
