Vox AC30HW2 30 Watt Handwired Tube 2 x 12" Combo Greenback

Vox AC-30HW2 Hand Wired AC-30 with two 12" Celestion Greenback Speakers

Introduced in November 2010, the AC30HW2 is truly a hand wired amplifier, there are no underlying copper circuit traces interconnecting electrical components or wires. Several pictures on this web page show the meticulous and tidy construction techniques used in manufacturing the circuitry for this amp.

The AC30HW2 is a two channel amp. Channel one is the "Normal" channel, and has two inputs and a "Bright" switch. Channel two is the "Top Boost" channel and has dual inputs, volume, treble, and bass controls, and a "Hot/Cool" switch. Using the "Hot" position on this switch increases the gain of the amp. This gain boost may also be remotely actuated using the single button VFS-1 foot switch, an included accessory with the amplifier.

This amp does not have tremolo or reverb.

The birch plywood cabinet is covered in a modern version of the fawn vinyl used by Vox from 1960 through 1963.
