Using a real amp is always going to be tricky - it depends on what edition of an AC30 you've actually got. The Edge's vintage amp has no master volume control and is thus extremely loud. A lot of the "tightness" you're likely missing comes from pushing the (old, worn) Alnico Blue speakers extremely hard, which makes the tone more compressed. You can try running a compressor in the FX loop, if your Vox has one, to compress the signal before it his the speakers. It won't be same, but it may get you closer without you having to dime the volume on your amp. Just watch the gain level on the compressor - you generally don't want to add much gain in the loop.
