This first generation of AC30s were housed in "TV-front" cabinets, much like the early to mid 50s tweed Fender amps, and had a single 12 inch Goodmans 60 watt speaker, as opposed to the later, conventional twin 12 inch speaker configuration. These early amps sported a thin white covering ("Rexine") with a small printed diamond pattern and larger diamond pattern grill cloth. However, the EL34-powered AC30 was short lived, and a new AC30 version appeared in late 1959. This second generation AC30/4 had two channels with two inputs, hence the “4” in the model name, and a single tone control, and was powered by a quartet of EL84 (6BQ5) power tubes, making it truly a doubling of the AC15 power amp circuit.
