Experience one of the most iconic amplifier tones in music history with the VOX AC30 Hand-Wired 30-watt Amplifier Head. Built as a meticulous reconstruction of a vintage ’60s AC30, this hand-wired head delivers authentic British chime, harmonic richness, and dynamic response in a flexible, modern head format.

Powered by four EL84 tubes, the AC30 Hand-Wired Head recreates the legendary phase-inverter distortion and natural voltage sag that define classic VOX tone, while remaining quiet and reliable for today’s stage and studio demands. Two classic channels — Normal and Top Boost — provide everything from warm cleans to the unmistakable VOX crunch that shaped rock history.

Modern refinements include a true tube-driven spring reverb with level and tone controls, a transparent FET-buffered effects loop, and a master volume that is removed from the circuit when fully opened. With versatile 8Ω and 16Ω speaker outputs, this head pairs perfectly with the VOX V212HWRX cabinet or your preferred speaker setup.

Finished with a copper control panel, brass vents, and classic VOX styling, the AC30 Hand-Wired Head is equal parts vintage authenticity and modern performance — a true classic reborn.
