John Frusciante’s Vox AC30

John Frusciante used a Vox AC30 amp on the song “Porcelain” from the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 1999 album Californication (Total Guitar (UK), Autumn 1999). A similar model, though likely not the exact same amp, was also seen during some of John’s performances with Ataxia around 2004.
