They are hand wired made in the USA VOX clones (the hayseed model). They sound pretty good from the clips I have seen and aren't ridiculously expensive. This clip is from the guy who makes them.
Yes and no. It was a nice amp but it wasn't what I would call my "perfect" AC30 tone. Granted this was several years ago and there may be some circuit changes since that amp.
My friend had a few problems with it and had to send the chassis back to him a couple times. Eventually he moved it to an acquaintance who I think still has it when he picked up an AC30HW (which he also sold later to get a JMI era AC30).
