Looking for chimey cleans and nice crunch/overdriven sounds. Mostly used for alternative/indie rock stuff and praise and worship. I've got a few AC30 ones, MBritt, Brian Carl, & Selah Sounds.
Favorite AC30 profiles?

Tone Junkie does an AC30 pack which I like - if you subscribe for his freebies I believe there are a couple of free samples from this pack as well as many others so you can see if the flavour suits you
-
I use rmpacheco's Morgan AC20. It's free on the RE.
-
I recently bought the TAF Vox pack and have been impressed so far.
-
The Tone Junkie free 65 Amps London amp is a great AC style pack for free. The Brian Carl profiles are my favorites. I really like the Morgan Duel 40 and the AC30 pack he has.
-
My favourite is the M Britt - 65 ACE30 pack. I use at least 2 of those every time I play.
-
Finding a vox tone I liked has been a journey to me. Mattfig has a great pack as well as tonejunkie but in the end I use mostly tonejunkie top cap profiles. They are el84 powered and have the vox sound but I seem to prefer them much, better for all around rock stuff

Same here.

Check out the Stuff from Top Jimi

Mattfigs CC30, Choptones CC1 and Deadlight Studios Fox A-30 are for me the most authentic AC30 profiles. Tone Junky and MBritts sounds very nice. HTH

+1 for Tone Junkies. If I recall correctly, the free pack includes their 'J4' profile (jumpered, fairly well cranked). I purchased the the pack and my favorite with my volume full open is J3, but J4 with the volume rolled back is about the same and gives more control. Of course they deserve some money for their awesome profiles, but the free pack really did include most of my favorite profiles.

I use Brian Carl's Silver Bell AC30 a lot
-
Tone Junkies for me
-
Top Jimi '63 pack.
-
The Morgan AC20 does it for me. It sounds closest to my 64 AC30. I use it at all of my gigs.
-
I have an AC30 TB with baby blues, and I'll profile it once I get the hang of it.

I also like these a lot. I decided to profile my own AC30 and they were coming out almost identical to the TAF's so I just use theirs. As far as the cranked normal channel sound you want to build a Brian May tone. It's the only one that gets close. I do use a different cab IR though. I bought, and tried tons of Celestion blue Ir's, the best I found was from "The impulse guys" which was Dan Boul from 65amps . I think it was from a 64.

Agreed. I'm using TAF AC30 for my Muse tones and it does the job so far

Tone Junkie have quite a diversity of AC30 packs, different models and vintages, some profiles with Silver Bells, Alnico Blues and others drivers. As some other posters pointed out, the AC30 class A design has been widely emulated by boutique makers so Morgan, Matchless etc have excellent amps in this style to check out.
These have all been widely profiled by TJ, Selah Sounds, TAF, Mattfig and MBritt to name some of the more prominent vendors. Another vote for Brian Carl who has done some really nice Morgan profiles and the fantastic Morgan profiles on rig exchange are absolutely golden.
