In 1959, with sales under pressure from the more powerful [[Fender Twin]], by request from [[The Shadows]], who requested amplifiers with more power, Vox produced what was essentially a double-powered AC15 and named it the AC30. The AC30, fitted with [[alnico]] magnet-equipped [[Celestion]] "blue" loudspeakers and later Vox's special "Top Boost" circuitry, and like the AC15 using valves (known in the US as vacuum tubes), helped to produce the sound of the [[British Invasion]], being used by [[The Beatles]], [[The Rolling Stones]], [[The Kinks]] and the [[Yardbirds]], among others. AC30s were later used by [[Brian May]] of [[Queen (band)|Queen]] (who is known for having a wall of AC30s on stage), [[Paul Weller (singer)|Paul Weller]] of [[The Jam]] (who also assembled a wall of AC30s), [[Rory Gallagher]], [[The Edge]] of [[U2]] and [[Radiohead]] guitarists [[Thom Yorke]], [[Jonny Greenwood]] and [[Ed O'Brien]]. The Vox AC30 has been used by many other artists including [[Mark Knopfler]], [[Hank Marvin]] who was instrumental in getting the AC30 made, [[Ritchie Blackmore]], [[John Scofield]], [[Snowy White]], [[Will Sergeant]], [[Tom Petty]], [[The Echoes (English group)|The Echoes]], [[Mike Campbell (musician)|Mike Campbell]], [[Peter Buck]], [[Justin Hayward]], [[Tom DeLonge]], [[Mike Nesmith]], [[Peter Tork]], [[Noel Gallagher]], [[Matthew Bellamy]], [[Omar Rodriguez-Lopez]], [[Dustin Kensrue]], [[Tame Impala]], [[Jimmy Page]], [[Tony Iommi]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Owens |first=Bruce |date=2024-03-25 |title=Guitar Gear Review: The ToneSpeak Birmingham 1275 Took My VOX AC30 from Good to Great {{!}} TMR Zoo |url=http://www.tmrzoo.com/2024/76794/guitar-gear-review-the-tonespeak-birmingham-1275-took-my-vox-ac30-from-good-to-great |access-date=2024-03-25 |language=en-US}}</ref> and many others.{{clear}}
