Vox AC30HWR2 Hand-Wired

VOX AC30HWR2 Hand-Wired – Classic British power with a warmer and more focused expression
The AC30HWR2 Hand-Wired Greenback version breathes new life into one of the most significant amplifiers in music history. With traditional hand-wired construction and vintage-style components, it reproduces the classic AC30 character – now with two Celestion Greenback speakers for a warmer midrange, earlier breakup, and a more focused sound.

For guitarists seeking playability, dynamics, and the VOX signature with a darker and more distinct edge, the Greenback version offers a unique alternative. It delivers harmonic complexity, responsive overdrive, and British rock tone that works equally well in the studio and on stage.
