VOX AC30HWR2 Hand-Wired – Classic British power with a warmer, focused voice

The AC30HWR2 Hand-Wired Greenback version brings a new flavor to one of the most iconic amplifiers in music history. Built with traditional hand-wired construction and vintage-accurate components, it delivers the unmistakable character of the original AC30—now paired with dual Celestion Greenback speakers for a warmer midrange, earlier breakup, and a more focused tonal response.

Designed for players who want touch sensitivity, harmonic richness, and the signature VOX chime with a slightly darker and grittier edge, this model offers a unique take on the legendary AC30 sound. From studio sessions to live stages, the Greenback version delivers expressive overdrive, dynamic response, and authentic British tone at manageable volumes.
