THE ULTIMATE AMP

There may never have been an amp

boasting such a lofty and pure sound in

the entire history of VOX. The VOX Hand-

Wired Series relies on the painstaking

technique of turret board hand wiring

– a method requiring a high level of skill

and craftsmanship – resulting in wiring

that’s beautiful in its artistry, ensuring an

efcient signal path with minimal loss

and no restriction in amplitude. 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.

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

amplier construction. Hand-wired amps

are assembled entirely by hand, requiring

staggering levels of technical expertise

and care; and as such are often exclusive

to today’s 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.

True all-tube design – preamp, power amp,

and rectier

The VOX Hand-Wired Series is a true all-tube

amplier, employing vacuum tubes in the

preamp, power amp, and rectier. The

preamp uses three classic ECC83/12AX7

tubes. Depending on the amplier 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 rectier. The AC30 models feature a

GZ34 rectier 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.

Designed for today’s music scene

While continuing to preserve the classic

AC30’s sonic character, the VOX Hand-

Wired Series offers the exibility 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. Also provided

is an MV/BYPASS switch that completely

bypasses the master volume section. This

means that the legendary sound that has

fascinated guitarists for more than fty years

can be faithfully reproduced, giving you a

direct and pure high gain tone.

Despite the retro style fawn colored vinyl

suggestive of a 1960 era AC30, these amps

are not mere nostalgia products – they are

designed for today’s music scene.

Legendary speakers

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 denition and

develops beautiful musical compression.

The AC30HW2 and AC15HW1 models 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.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:

CHRIS SHIFLETT OF

FOO FIGHTERS

“My new Hand-Wired AC30s actually

sound better than my vintage ones.

Whatever VOX did, they got it right...

They rock when you want to rock and

jangle when you want jangle. They’re

classic.”
