In the Hand-Wired Series, tubes, transformers, speakers, chassis, and custom parts all join together in an ideal state to deliver the richest and most powerful sonic experience the ultimate amp. Not bound by tradition, the VOX Hand-Wired Series also provides a variety of new functions that keep pace with the needs of today's artists. Offering a rich variety of tonal shadings and a broad model lineup, the enormous potential of the VOX Hand-Wired Series will reveal itself in any musical scenario.
Constructed for ideal sound and power
Turret board hand-wired amps are every amp designer's ideal
and every guitarist's dream, representing the ultimate in
amplifier construction. Hand-wired amps are assembled
entirely by hand, requiring staggering levels of technical
expertise and care; and as such are often exclusive to
todays limited productions or high-end models. The VOX
Hand-Wired Series pairs these demanding methods with
rigorously-selected custom parts. These premium components
are wired with a truly artistic degree of perfection. The
result is that the subtle nuances of the guitarist's touch,
the guitar's audio signature, and the natural character of
the vacuum tubes are passed with perfect transparency to the
speakers.
True all-tube design preamp, power amp, and
rectifier
The VOX Hand-Wired Series is a true all-tube amplifier,
employing vacuum tubes in the preamp, power amp, and
rectifier. The preamp uses three classic ECC83/12AX7 tubes.
Depending on the amplifier wattage, the power stage uses
either a quartet (AC30 models) or a duet (AC15 models) of
EL84 tubes. The VOX Hand Wired Series use a tube rectifier.
The AC30 models feature a GZ34 rectifier tube; while the
AC15 models use an EZ81 tube. These three elements, when
combined, provide the vibrant, organic and unmistakable tone
that is the heart of the classic VOX sound.
Two-channel design: Top Boost and Normal
The VOX Hand-Wired Series preserves the traditional VOX
two-channel design, providing a Top Boost channel and a
Normal channel. True to form, the Top Boost channel delivers
the legendary AC30 sound with a fully interactive tone stack.
VOX has also added a new and unique HOT/COOL switch. The
COOL setting produces the orthodox Top Boost sound, while
the HOT setting bypasses the tone circuitry altogether to
create a more pure sound to achieve richer gain. A VFS1
footswitch is included with your VOX Hand-Wired Series amp,
so you can quickly change between COOL and HOT, right at
those moments when you need an extra dose of drive. The
controls for the Normal channel consist simply of a volume
knob, giving you a cleaner and more natural tube sound. In
addition, this channel offers a BRIGHT switch that, when
engaged, adds emphasis to the upper harmonics of the tone.
Meets the challenge of todays broader tonal
palette
The traditional, inimitable sound of the legendary AC30
continues to fascinate the guitarists of today. Many modern
players have viewed this timeless design and desired more
up-to-date options. While continuing to preserve the classic
AC30's sonic character, the VOX Hand-Wired Series offers the
flexibility to meet the sound-creating requirements of a
broad range of scenes and styles. The addition of a Master
Volume and an Output Power (OP) mode switch lets you change
the power amp's output level, delivering more detailed
control over the gain/volume relationship, in turn providing
more control over your sound. Despite being decked out in
the retro-style fawn-colored vinyl suggestive of a 1960 era
AC30, these amps are not mere nostalgia products they are
definitely designed for today's music scene.
Old School Master Volume bypass
The old AC30 had no master volume, nor indeed do most
hand-wired amps. With such amps, high-gain sound meant that
you needed to play at high volumes. High volume is
unavoidable if tone is the primary consideration, but can be
inconvenient in many situations. The VOX Hand-Wired Series
provides a master volume control, but also provides an
MV/BYPASS switch that completely bypasses the master volume
section. This means that the legendary sound that has
fascinated guitarists for more than fifty years can be
faithfully reproduced, giving you a direct and pure
high-gain tone.
A robust lineup to satisfy all players
The VOX Hand-Wired Series is just that a complete series
offering true all-tube, hand-wired tone in a variety of
models. Beginning with the combo styles, choose either the
30-Watt AC30 model with two 12-inch speakers, or the more
modest 15-Watt model offering a single 12-inch speaker. The
AC30HW2X and AC15HW1X are proudly equipped with legendary
Celestion Alnico Blue speakers. Often associated with
classic VOX amps, these speakers are known for their
glorious dampened attack, warm lows, mellow upper mid and
brilliant bell-like top end. When pushed hard, Alnico blues
evoke rich definition and develops beautiful musical
compression. The AC30HW2 and AC15HW1 models instead offer
Celestion G12M Greenbacks, noted for their broad mid-range
attack and restrained top-end, providing a punchy attitude
when chording, and a searing lead tone. If a stack is your
more your style, VOX is pleased to offer the AC30HWH 30-Watt
Hand-Wired head. Complete your rig with the V212HWX cabinet,
providing a stylish cosmetic match and housing two of the
12-inch Celestion Alnico Blue speakers. The AC30HWH head
comes with a high-performance VOX speaker cable,
painstakingly designed to provide a low-loss and transparent
connection to the V212HW cabinet and maximize the amp's
potential. This broad-ranging lineup lets you choose the amp
that's perfect for your needs and tastes.
