The VOX AC30S1 is a stripped down, straight-to-the-point variant of the AC30, a classic amplifier used in rock music. This combo amplifier offers single-channel operation based on the well-respected Top Boost circuit of the AC30.

This touch-sensitive circuit can supply a variety of timbres, from that classic, clean chime, synonymous with the AC30, to the harmonically rich overdrive heard on countless riffs. A digital reverb is on hand, as is an effects send/return loop for feeding your favorite pedals directly into the amplifier's chain. Though this combo amplifier sports a 1x12" Celestion speaker, a dedicated speaker output lets you feed signal to additional cabinets.

Q: 1. Will this unit drive a 250 ohm or 600 ohm headphone player with plenty of power, to where I don't feel like I need a higher power amplifier?

A: The specs show power of 600mw with 32 ohm headphones.
