VOX AC30 Handwired Combo Alnico Blue Speakers
The 30-watt Vox AC30HW2X handwired combo guitar amplifier transports you to the golden age of Vox tone. A retro ox blood grill cover and Vintage fawn-colored vinyl over a birch ply cabinet gives the AC30HW2X classic style and sound. It's a traditional 2-channel design with both a top boost channel that has a hot/cool switch and a normal channel that has a bright switch. At its heart, the AC30HW2X sports a painstakingly handwired turret board assembly, containing three ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes, four EL84 power tubes, and a GZ34 rectifier tube - all of which are matched Ruby Tubes, which provide impeccable tone and extended dynamic range. And, although a pair of 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speakers add another vintage touch, the AC30HW2X's OP mode switch, which cuts the output power level in half, is a brilliantly modern feature that lets you get the classic tone you want at a lower level.
