Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down Uses VOX AC30 Custom Classic Amp

Vox

Posted 2007-04-28

With a string of number one singles drawing an ever wider audience, rockers 3 Doors Down have most recently released their third studio album, Seventeen Days. The band's exceptional live show makes them one of the top concert draws in North America, with over 300 sold-out performances a year.

Guitarist Chris Henderson chooses a VOX AC30CCH Custom Classic head for his cleaner sounds, and confirms, "I've tried every amp out there for cleans, and I just kept coming back to the VOX." Henderson's AC30CCH retains the classic tones that made him love his childhood AC30, and it adds modern functions and flexibility. He references the Custom Classic's tone-blending ability, as well: "I use it to soften up the tone a bit, so it's not so crunchy -- take a little bit of the highs out of it, a little bit of the mids out, but without adding lows."
