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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDevelopment began with the detailed analysis of an original 1963 “copper panel” AC30.
