Product Information

VOX AC30 Hand-Wired Amplifier Head

Timeless tone for today.

Few amplifiers have shaped music history like the VOX AC30. With the AC30 Hand-Wired Head, that legacy lives on—reborn with painstaking attention to vintage accuracy and refined with modern features that make it stage- and studio-ready.

Whether paired with VOX’s matching V212HWRX cabinet or your own preferred speaker setup, the AC30 Hand-Wired Head delivers authentic British tone in a flexible head format built for demanding players.

This is more than a reissue. It is a complete reconstruction of a vintage legend, hand-wired and fine-tuned to bring the unmistakable sound of the 1960s back to life while meeting modern performance expectations.

Vintage Tone, Meticulously Recreated

At the core of the AC30’s iconic voice is its EL84 power section, but the magic goes deeper. In classic VOX amplifiers, pushing the amp hard causes the phase inverter stage itself to distort—adding complex harmonics and an openness that pedals alone cannot replicate.

The AC30 Hand-Wired Head goes beyond schematic reproduction, recreating these subtle yet critical behaviours to ensure the same depth, musicality, and responsiveness as its vintage predecessors.

Development began with the detailed analysis of an original 1963 “copper panel” AC30. From this, VOX engineered a new power circuit that faithfully recreates vintage voltage sag, producing natural compression and sustain while remaining quiet, stable, and reliable.

A custom-wound output transformer completes the vintage puzzle, delivering bell-like highs, rich harmonic layering, and midrange character carefully matched to the original design.

Two Channels, Iconic VOX Voice

The AC30 Hand-Wired Head features the two classic channels that defined the VOX sound.

  • Normal Channel: Warm midrange response with a Bright switch for added clarity, ideal for both single-coils and humbuckers
  • Top Boost Channel: The legendary VOX chime and drive, with independent Treble, Bass, and Volume controls for precise tonal shaping

Touch-sensitive, expressive, and harmonically complex, the amp delivers inspiring tone whether clean or fully cranked.

Tube-Driven Spring Reverb, Refined

The AC30 Hand-Wired Head features genuine spring reverb driven by a dedicated tube stage. A purpose-designed output transformer ensures proper impedance matching, delivering lush, articulate reverb tones.

Reverb Level and Tone controls allow precise shaping, while the included footswitch provides instant reverb bypass.

Transparent, Pedalboard-Ready FX Loop

A FET-buffered effects loop provides maximum transparency, preserving tone clarity for modulation and time-based effects—even when the amp is driven hard.

For purists, the loop is fully bypassable, keeping the signal path uncompromised.

Flexible Power for Any Cabinet

Delivering 30 watts via four EL84 power tubes, the AC30 Hand-Wired Head offers ample headroom for live performance while still breaking up beautifully when pushed.

Multiple speaker outputs allow easy pairing with a wide range of cabinets, with the V212HWRX as the ideal vintage-inspired companion.

Timeless Craftsmanship and Style

From the copper control panel to the brass vent grilles and classic VOX badge, every detail reflects VOX’s unmatched heritage.

This is not just an amplifier—it is a piece of rock history, reborn for today’s guitarist.

Plug in, turn up, and experience the legendary tone of VOX.
