Vox AC30 Hand-Wired 2 x 12" Combo Guitar Amplifier

Few amplifiers carry the legacy of the Vox AC30. Revered for its articulate tone and dynamic range, the AC30 helped launch careers from The Edge to dozens of genre-defining guitarists. The AC30 Hand-Wired reimagines this classic platform with meticulous updates rooted in historical accuracy and tonal integrity.

Pushing 30 watts through dual 12-inch Celestion Alnico Blues, this 2x12 combo is built for players who demand sonic authority and dimensional detail. The newly engineered power supply responds like a true vintage unit, introducing dynamic voltage shifts that yield responsive sag and musical compression—essential to the original AC30 experience.

At the core is Vox’s custom output transformer, developed after extensive prototyping to capture the pleasing harmonic coloration unique to saturated vintage iron. Combined with a cabinet built to vintage thickness specs, the result is bold, resonant projection and that unmistakable Vox chime.

Modern enhancements include a spring reverb circuit designed to complement the amp’s tone without overwhelming it, and a fully isolated FX loop for time-based effects. For guitarists chasing the clarity and growl once heard behind players like Rory Gallagher, the AC30HWR2X offers all the vintage nuance—without the road-worn unpredictability.
