Now, the unmistakable sound of a vintage Vox is finally within reach. Built for vintage enthusiasts, aficionados, and modern players alike. The AC30 Hand-Wired delivers the unmistakable voice of Vox!

Vintage cabinet resonance

Looks can be deceiving. While many assume vintage AC30s were built with heavy wood panels, our research revealed otherwise. The AC30 Hand-Wired features a 12mm birch ply cabinet to match the specs of 1963 models, enhancing resonance and creating an open, three-dimensional feel. When paired with the dual 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speakers, the cabinet sings with the warmth and sparkle that defined countless rock recordings. 

Two channels, iconic Vox voice

The AC30 Hand-Wired offers the two channels that have shaped the sound of Vox over the decades.

Normal Channel: Midrange warmth with a Bright switch for added top-end clarity, ideal for shaping your sound with single-coils or humbuckers
Top Boost Channel: The iconic Vox chime and drive, with separate Treble, Bass, and Volume controls for precise tonal shaping. Pushed hard, it sings with the legendary British crunch that defined rock's golden age.

True to its heritage, this amp remains touch-sensitive, expressive, and harmonically complex, whether you're clean or cranked.

Tube-driven spring reverb, refined

Unlike amps with limited reverb circuits, the AC30 Hand-Wired features a genuine spring reverb driven through a dedicated tube stage. The output transformer is designed specifically for matching the impedance of these signals, delivering lush, present reverb tones. Tailor your sound with the reverb's Level and Tone controls, and use the included footswitch for instant reverb bypass.

Transparent, FX loop

Modern players demand flexibility, and the AC30 Hand-Wired delivers with a FET-buffered effects loop designed for maximum clarity. Unlike effect loops that colour your tone, the FET circuitry provides transparency – keeping your modulation and time-based effects pristine, even when the amp is pushed into overdrive. And for purists, it’s fully bypass-able.

Flexible output and power

Pushing 30 watts via four EL84 power tubes, the AC30 Hand-Wired offers enough headroom for the stage, while still delivering glorious breakup when driven. The rear panel offers dual speaker outputs and a detachable internal speaker connection for use with external cabinets or attenuator setup

Timeless craftsmanship and style

From the copper control panel to the brass vent grills and classic Vox badge, the AC30 Hand-Wired is a celebration of Vox’s unmatched heritage. It's not just an amp - it's a piece of rock history reborn for today's guitarist. Plug in, turn up and experience the legendary tone of Vox.
