Vox AC30HWRH 30w Head

The Vox AC30HWR Head is a hand-wired, all-tube amplifier designed to recreate the response and tonal character of early 1960s AC30 models in a head format. Built with vintage-accurate construction and custom transformers, it delivers the harmonic complexity, chime, and touch sensitivity that define classic VOX tone while offering the flexibility to pair with a variety of speaker cabinets.

At its core is a four EL84 power section that produces the familiar compression and dynamic response associated with the AC30 platform. The inclusion of both Normal and Top Boost channels allows for a wide tonal range, from warm, rounded cleans to articulate, driven sounds. Modern features like a transparent effects loop, spring reverb, and a master volume that can be removed from the circuit help make it practical for both stage and studio use.
