Brand
VOX
The Vox AC30VR Valvetronix combines proprietary Valve Reactor technology with solid-state reliability to deliver authentic dual-channel AC30 tone in a more accessible package. Driven by a 12AX7 vacuum tube in the analog preamp and power stage circuit, it pushes 30 watts of power through dual 12-inch custom Celestion speakers. Featuring a clean Normal channel, a versatile Overdrive channel with dual style modes, onboard digital reverb, and a traditional Tone Cut control, this hybrid combo provides legendary British chime and dynamic crunch for practice and performance.
Experience the legendary tone of a British valve stack combined with reliable, lightweight modern engineering with the VOX AC30VR Valvetronix Hybrid Guitar Amplifier. Designed for guitarists who crave the iconic chime, dynamic touch sensitivity, and harmonic warmth of a vintage AC30 without the heavy weight or high maintenance of an all-tube rig, this 30-watt hybrid combo delivers professional performance for practice, recording, and small stage gigs.
Why Choose the VOX AC30VR?
Traditional tube amplifiers offer incredible organic response, but they can be heavy, fragile, and expensive to maintain. VOX engineered the Valve Reactor (VR) series to bridge this gap by placing a genuine 12AX7 vacuum tube directly in the power amp stage. This hybrid approach pairs analog tube warmth with solid-state reliability, giving you authentic power-stage sag, natural compression, and punchy projection in a portable package.

Dual-Channel Versatility and Valve Reactor Power
The AC30VR features two distinct channels to cover your entire sonic range. The Normal channel offers a clean, sparkling foundation that honours your guitar's natural voice, while the Overdrive channel lets you dial in everything from subtle blues crunch to searing high-gain leads using its independent OD1 and OD2 switches. Powered by the Valve Reactor tube circuit, both channels react dynamically to your picking attack just like a vintage valve amplifier.
