Single Channel Design

With a single channel based on the Top Boost channel of the AC30, this potent amplifier provides that unmistakable UK '60s sound. With a chimey and articulate clean, the AC30S1 can extend to a rich and gnarly overdrive when you push its gain control, thanks to its unique touch-sensitive circuitry and four EL84 power tubes.

Modern Features

The AC30 may be most notorious for its old-school tones, however the AC30S1 has been appointed with some modern features to appeal to contemporary players. A built-in digital reverb expands your tonal palette, giving you a convincing spring reverb sound with plenty of vintage character. 

But if you're keen to run other time-based effects through the amp, like a delay, or even use modulation pedals such as chorus or phaser, the AC30S1's effects loop will allow for seamless routing of your pedalboard chain. The front end of the amp also reacts beautifully to overdrive and distortion pedals, making the AC30S1 the perfect pedal platform.  

Although it packs 30W of power, you can use the AC30S1's external speaker output to connect to an additional cabinet if you're looking to rehearse and gig in large spaces. Plug it into a 4x12, and you'll certainly push some serious air!

Main features:

  • Single-channel design inspired by the AC30’s trademark Top Boost.
  • All tube design featuring two 12AX7 pre-amp tubes and four EL84 power-amp tubes.
  • Equipped with a single Celestion-made 12-inch speaker, specially voiced for the AC30S1.
  • Effects send/return and external speaker output are provided for pairing with pedals or external cabinets - Equipped with digital reverb that simulates a classic spring reverb.

Purchased a lovely Tanglewood electro acoustic guitar yesterday 25/3/25 from the Hull store, to enable my progression in guitar playing. Shaun who helped me was a lovely guy, informative, funny and knowledgeable, he listened to my requirements and ensured the guitar was suitable and what I required. All in all a great shopping experience, with a Billy Joel song played on the piano at my request (Shaun plays piano). Will definitely return. Thanks Shaun.

Left with a lovely 1/2-size guitar, case and beginner book for our daughter. She even got a blast of Happy Birthday on the piano. This is a lovely shop with amazing staff. Have walked into other music shops and been ignored, but not here. I will be back soon when it's time for me to buy a new electric guitar, even though it's a journey for us.

Brilliant service and helpful staff. I had planned on getting a nylon stringed guitar for a while and was struggling to find one. The staff here helped massively and offered me (without me even asking) if I was interested in playing. 10/10 definitely going back when I look into my next Investment.

Exceptional Guitar Buying Experience – Highly Recommended! I recently purchased a Gretsch G5122 Electromatic from Gough & Davy, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. 🚚 Super Fast & Secure Delivery The guitar was shipped via FedEx and arrived incredibly fast. The packaging was beyond impressive—so secure that you could probably drop a nuke on it, and the guitar would still be intact! 🤯 Top-notch protection and care in shipping, which is rare these days. 🎸 The Guitar – Stunning Quality! Even though it was sold as second-hand, the condition is practically mint—I was honestly shocked at how perfect it looks and feels. This was my first experience with a Gretsch, and I can confidently say it was money well spent. The tone is absolutely amazing, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. 💬 Customer Service – Smooth & Professional From the moment I placed my order to the moment it arrived, the process was easy, hassle-free, and professional. The team at Gough & Davy clearly values their customers and ensures that every step of the buying process is smooth and enjoyable. ⭐️ Final Thoughts This shop deserves more attention and more customers! I can say without hesitation that Gough & Davy has gained a loyal customer for life. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and passionate music store, look no further. Big thank you to the team – I’ll definitely be back for more! 🎶🎸🔥
