Vox AC4HWR1 Hand-Wired Combo – Celestion G12M Greenback Speaker

AC-HWR Hand-Wired Guitar Amplifier

In the search for the essence of the classic vintage AC30 amp sound, we conducted a detailed analysis and study on mint condition AC15 and AC30s from the 1960s to truly uncover and understand the inner workings of these legendary amplifiers. The culmination of these efforts has resulted in the emergence of the new VOX AC Hand-Wired Range of amplifiers: the greatest VOX amps we have ever produced.

The rarity of vintage amplifiers contributes significantly to their high value, but equally impactful is the distinctive sound inherent in vintage amps. Despite the AC30 being manufactured with nearly identical circuitry since the 1960s, the character of vintage units is often described as being almost beyond description, possessing a rich and musical quality that is equally unmistakable and mysterious. We aimed to unravel the secrets of this sound, bringing the vintage magic to the musicians of today.

AC-HWR series reproduces the vintage VOX tone through meticulous research. A diverse lineup caters to the individual preferences and needs of discerning guitarists. The 30W and 15W combo types, available as the AC30HWR2X and AC15HWR1X, both featuring Celestion Alnico Blue speakers, as well as the AC10HWR1and AC4HWR1 equipped with Celestion G12M Greenback speakers.
