- Tom DeLonge (Angels & Airwaves, Blink 182) takes a break from his recent VOX photo shoot to tell us about how indispensable the AC30 is to his sound. "I've used it on every single song I've recorded since the beginning of Angels & Airwaves and all the way through the last Blink record as well... Every song I've recorded, every show I've played, has been through these amplifiers." Guess he likes 'em!

It sounds incredible. You have to appreciate that he isn't hiding his playing anymore. He's not 25 anymore, he doesn't need Creed amounts of gain.
I wouldn't say that 90% of the time rock bands use ac30s but I would say that they sound amazing...
Whenever I show up to gigs I get the same two comments from every sound guy. Before the show: "Is that a real AC30?". After the show: "Wow that thing sounds so awesome!"
He doesn't mention Mark's dad even once.
This video is fake.
Had a dual rec, now have an AC30. I completely agree with this video.
I bought a VOX AC30 a while ago and after I did I realized that Tom and other Great musician I admired use it :D ...guess my unconscious was playing with me
I love the sound of Mesa amps and at some point I want a Dual Rectifier, but the amp I bought myself two years ago is this exact one, an AC30 Handwired with alnico blue speakers. I really dig Tom's tone on all of his albums over the years, still the sound of a humbucker guitar through a lightly/moderately distorted AC30 is my preferred tone.
i love my AC30
I own both the voxac30h2 and fender '65 twin,,, one of the best amp mixes out there from what i can hear.
looks like a HW2 or HW2X the difference between them is the speaker which you can't see, the blue speakers sound better though which is the HW2X it's also $2000 New but it does sound fantastic.
I love you Tom
Thats not really true. Distortion pedals sound pretty awful. A nice overdrive pedal into an AC30 or Fender will sound great, but so will something like a Rockerverb or JCM2000 with their own gain channel. Theres just a difference between preamp and poweramp distortion and from there it comes down to preference.
I love his custom guitars
I love tom new guitar tone
Dude, you started out with the wrong amplifiers? But those amplifiers were a huge part of your way to fame.... Mesa is more punk.... Peace! haha....
The one thing i love about life is having your own opinion...That's why i didn't say "you're wrong", or "that's not true". I disagreed, in my opinion, neighborhoods had the best guitar sound, along with the live shows now that he's using ac30/65 twin. That's my opinion, true or not true. i think too man people just want tom to go back to his old style of clothes and gear cuz it was more "skater" which is immature, props to you if youre not one of them and actually care about the important things
tom
Angels and airwaves: AC30 + fender twin
Blink 182: triple rectifiers
Simple as that :P
Kaleidoscope on Neighborhoods was recorded with an Orange amp...
i didnt know that
But from Mark, Not Tom... Smart aleck
An AC30 can push more lows if you install some 6P14P's (a Russian mil spec el84m,super rugged and handles extra voltage) and increase the TB channel's coupling capacitor value.My AC30CC sounds great like this.
Yep! It's all over the AVA stuff.
You're right gompy!
Funny thing is I was playing a vox the other day, and it does not even compare to a fender deluxe, tubes are the way to go mesa, marshall, fender, and sometimes orange.
David Pierson lol funny you say that...I got a fender deluxe after owning an AC30 combo for years(got tired of lugging the weight around) and after about 3 hours or playing I said "yep....I'm returning this and getting an AC30 handwired head." To me, the Vox destroys 90% of what Marshall and fender are selling right now.
Didn't say it was about taste, i said it was about opinion. And that's your opinion, and i respect that :)
1:01 hahahah he says one so seductively ;)
Thank god he changed his sound.
MESA BOOGIE!
+Dylan Burton182 AVA sucks...you know what works the best...nothing, no power, no guitars, no TD...and is arrogant ass
Tom just wanna make his sound like The Edge, and he just trying to figure it out with ava, and he think mesa distortion are too high for ava songs i thought
I played with a vox while I was in a pop punk band, i wasn't entirely pleased with it, I switched to Marshall with a legion head.
It is obvious most people here know nothing about amplifiers. The Vox AC30 is used more professionally than all the new fender and marshall amps combined.
Sure bud. Where’s your imperical data for this? Oh wait you’re just talking out your ass
What kind ac30 sre these?
I used to listen to Blink182 but now I find myself changing the song when any of theirs come on, kinda an indie rock junkie now, I somehow came to this video and he's actually using the same amp I bought a year ago. I will say blink182 is good to start with learning how to play guitar they teach you a lot about progressions, intervals, etc. by the way I recommend Maps by The Front Bottoms the singer kinda sounds like this guy.
Mesa and Marshall is always a great combo.. This amp is the best for Angels And Airwaves but come on Blink-182 used to be a Punk band with tons of disortion where you can barely hear the notes
o shit! i have a vox!
I'm with Tom, VOX AC's (I have an AC15HW) are a beautiful thing. I also came late to the VOX party thinking that they were for Ric-slinging Beatles nerds, but not so! I get all kinds of great sounds out of mine, and drive it with one pedal to get a little extra gain - too easy.
Mesa's are for metal-heads who wouldn't appreciate the complex tone of a good amp anyway, they only want to hear chugga-chugga all the time.
got riffs?
Blink 182/ Angels and Airwaves not Angels and airwaves/ blink 182
1:33 it sounds incredilble? I have seen about everyone say it sounds like shit now and go back to mesas?
Vox sounds sweet in AVA though..
Wait a minute. He didn't talk about my Dad or my Mom AT ALL FOR ONCE. This video is a fail.
I've got the Vox AC30!!! now i fell like Tom!!!! ...not really :P
SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER ME: which AC30 does Tom use? the Custom C2X or the Handwired HW2X?
vox ac30h2 50th anniversary edition sorry im 6 years late lol
Guarantee he plays handwired
I totally agree. AC30's and Twin Reverbs are perfect for AVA, but sounds absolutely fucking awful with Blink.
damnit i thought it said AC130
Blink 182 first Tom, then Ava.
Where's the joke about my mom or dad?
xov has...
Both incredible amps, but you're comparing an old English classic to an American murder weapon, which just can't work. He's just going for a different sound. Which he's clearly done.
😂😂😂 “American murder weapon.” Very good, @MooseboyBrett Made me laugh out loud with that.
The only way you could sound good kids is to get a Vox AC30
Why would he? Vox sounds so much better.
okay but if i count how many notes played on a guitar on the new record it would lose to any other blink albums its definitely not a guitar based record... and its more like a fact not a taste kind of thing so with that i mean its not that creative guitarwise those songs are delay reverb and sytnh based
thats not true check out the selftitled album thats creativity different amps different cabs different microphones in every song and thats sounds much better neighborhoods is a bit booring
Tom, if you heard your words 15 years ago you would have slapped yourself... Mesa+Marshall was the greatest guitar sound in history...these just sound like playing through a radio.
99 times out of 100? why not say 9 times out of 10? hahaha
I'll have to disagree with that, staying true to "blink sound" or not, Neighborhoods had the best sounding guitar of any album yet. Best tone and most crisp (clean and dirty) Been a fan for 13 yrs now, i'd say they're one of the few bands who have sounded better and better with each album. I own the ac30h2 so it may be biased, but i played both mixes of amps before i got my fender/vox set up, i still would like the pick up a mesa rectifier down the road. They are all top of the line amplifiers.
99 out of a 100 pro rockers are gonna be using Voxs? Uhh, no. Vox are good but lets be reall, most likely going to be a Fender or a Marshall amp.
lol who? 13 yr old kids that just want the "old" tom back?
listen to blink live before he got vox amps......
blink is distortion, mesa has that. vox doesnt
mesa all the way
