Sound Pure's Take
The Dream 40 AC is the ultimate amp for showing your love for our friends across the pond. This awesome amp gives you 8 amp sounds based on various circuits in the history of the AC-series and its descendants with 4 voicing options and a 2-position mid contour switch. 'Normal' will give you vintage AC punch with a bigger bass response, 'Brilliance' adds in a little more presence to show off that classic AC chime, while 'Top Boost 1' and 'Top Boost 2' show off Jamie's in-depth knowledge of the iconic Top Boost circuits in the AC heritage. But Jamie didn't stop there! The Mid Contour switch in the up position is modeled after a vintage 1962 Vox AC30 that Jamie had in for repair at his shop, while the switch in the down position shows off a more modern, mid-hump voicing. The amp is a perfect representation of all tones British!
