Inspired by the legendary sound of the 1960s AC15 and AC30 amplifiers, the VOX AC Hand-Wired Series is the result of extensive analysis of pristine vintage models. This line represents the most authentic and refined VOX amps ever produced—meticulously handcrafted to capture the unmistakable warmth, chime, and harmonic richness of the originals.
Despite sharing similar circuitry for decades, vintage AC30s possess a unique tonal character that’s both magical and elusive. VOX set out to unlock these tonal secrets and deliver them to modern players, without compromise. Every element—from the redesigned power supply that recreates vintage “sag” and compression, to the custom-built output transformers and vintage-spec cabinet thickness—has been carefully crafted to honor the classic tone while eliminating issues like ghost notes.
The AC-HWR lineup includes a 15W combo model equipped with Celestion Alnico Blue speakers and blends authentic vintage sound with essential modern features. These include a high-quality spring reverb for added depth, a buffered FX loop for clean integration of time-based effects, and a speaker out with easily removable connection cables—perfect for using an attenuator or external cab when lower volume is needed.
With the AC Hand-Wired Series, VOX delivers the iconic sound of the past with the performance and reliability today’s guitarists demand.
