Why Choose the VOX AC30HW2?
For guitarists chasing the authentic sound of 1960s British rock history, standard printed circuit board amplifiers often fall short of capturing true tube sag and transparent signal response. VOX engineered the AC30HW2 using painstaking hand-wired turret board construction—bypassing printed circuit traces entirely. Paired with dual Celestion Greenback speakers and a robust all-tube signal path, this amplifier provides extraordinary clarity, dynamic response, and boutique craftsmanship.
Key Features & Specifications
- True Hand-Wired Turret Board Construction: Built entirely without printed circuit boards for maximum signal transparency, pristine clarity, and long-term reliability.
- All-Tube Signal Path: Driven by 3 x ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes, 4 x EL84 power tubes, and an authentic GZ34 rectifier tube for classic valve warmth and rich compression.
- OP/Mode Power Attenuation Switch: Seamlessly toggle between full 30 watts and 15 watts of RMS output to achieve saturated power-amp breakup at lower, manageable volumes.
- Dual Celestion G12M Greenback Speakers: Outfitted with two 12-inch 16-ohm Greenback speakers housed in a solid-braced birch plywood cabinet with a natural high-frequency diffuser.
- Traditional Two-Channel Design: Features a Normal channel (with a Bright switch) and a Top Boost channel (with interactive Bass and Treble controls plus a Hot/Cool gain switch).
- Master Volume & Bypass Switch: Includes a master volume control alongside a Master Volume Bypass feature that completely removes the master section from the circuit for raw, vintage tone.
- Vintage Fawn Vinyl Aesthetics: Wrapped in vintage-correct fawn-colored vinyl with brown diamond grille cloth and retro cream chickenhead knobs.
Boutique Flexibility: Hot/Cool and OP/Mode Switching
The AC30HW2 expands upon classic designs by incorporating modern professional flexibility. The Hot/Cool switch on the Top Boost channel increases gain for a thicker, punchier overdrive, while the rear-panel OP/Mode switch halves the output wattage from 30W to 15W, allowing you to push the power valves hard without overwhelming your stage or studio environment.
