Schweeeeet. I wish I had that kind of money... hehe... Most pedals sound good before the amp anyways, just not a delay... I suppose you could mod it to add an effects loop...
Answer:
I'm jealous! Actually, I'm currently keeping my eye out for a good deal on a Vox AC-30. Congrats on the purchase!
The effects loop isn't necessary, but it is nice for modulation effects.
Answer:
FWIW, delay sounds fine in front of an amp as long as said amp isn't doing a ton of signal clipping.
Answer:
Yeah, just keep it in front of your distortion pedals.
The Vox AC Custom Classics sure sound nice.

The Vox AC Custom Classics sure sound nice. and by in front you mean after right?
Answer:
Yeah........
Answer:
haha thanks for the discussion, i was getting all confused by reading front and after. i thoguht peopel were telling me different things about the order of the distortion and delay. this may be a little off topic since this is the amp section but quick question i guess it might kinda relate to the amp. my friend told me that i shoudl get a splitter since the amp doesnt have an effect loop so i can put the volume and tuner pedal in a seperate chain. does this make sense?

Eh...I can't think of any normal reasons to do this. I also don't know what it would accomplish. I could see getting a true bypass loop to remove your tuner from the direct line, but I don't know why you'd through the volume pedal in there too.
Answer:
Congrats on the new amp.

Heh? I've noticed mine sounds better before my distorition... Or maybe I'm getting the order confused.
Guitar --> delay --> dist. --> amp is how I roll. Sounds much better.
Congrats on the new buy! I'm definately jealous.

Answer:
I've always gone w/ my delays after my overdrive pedals.
I have a vox-ish amp that's 18 watts, and I think you'll find that there is really no reason to have an effects loop because the amp just doesn't put out a ton of gain.
I actually played an AC-15 in the studio for a session and it sounded fine with all the delays simply going into the input, you should have no problems.
Answer:
alrightey then. thanks all

I dunno, the other way around makes it sound all muddy and makes the repeats sound distorted. My way they're clear.
