AC-10, AC-15, & AC-30 HAND-WIRED GUITAR AMPLIFIER

Timeless Tone for Today
Few amplifiers have shaped music history like the VOX AC10, AC15, & AC30. With the AC Hand-Wired Series, that legacy lives on – reborn with painstaking attention to vintage accuracy and updated with modern refinements that make it stage- and studio-ready.

This is more than a reissue. It’s a complete reconstruction of a vintage legend – hand-wired and fine-tuned to bring the ’60s sound back to life. Featuring hand-wired circuitry, custom transformers, and vintage-accurate cabinet construction, this amplifier aligns classic British tone with modern necessities including bypass-able master volume, a transparent effects loop, and custom-voiced spring reverb.

Now, the unmistakable sound of a vintage VOX is finally within reach. Built for vintage enthusiasts, aficionados, and modern players alike. The AC Hand-Wired delivers the unmistakable voice of VOX!

Vintage Tone, Meticulously Recreated
At the core of the AC Hand-wired series’ unique voice lies its EL84 power section, but the magic doesn’t stop there. In classic VOX amps, when pushed hard, the phase inverter stage itself begins to distort – a subtle but crucial source of the complex harmonics that define the true AC tone. This distortion is different from preamp overdrive, imparting a texture and openness that simply can’t be replicated with pedals alone. The AC Hand-Wired goes beyond schematic replication to recreate essential details like this, ensuring the amp responds with the same musicality and depth as its ’60s predecessors.

This recreation started with sourcing and analyzing an original 1965 AC10/15/30, measuring its precise electrical behavior, and mapping out the subtleties in its performance. As a result, the AC Hand-Wired features a newly-designed power circuit that recreates the classic voltage “sag”. This subtle drop under heavy playing can change the overall feel of the amp in the player’s fingertips, creating natural compression and sustain. But while vintage amps are prone to ghost notes and noise, the AC Hand-Wired delivers the right feel while remaining quiet and reliable.

A critical piece of the vintage puzzle is the output transformer. The AC Hand-Wired uses a custom-wound transformer developed through rigorous prototyping, capturing the bell-like highs and complex harmonic layering that makes every note bloom. The subtle winding variations affect the midrange character and saturation behavior, so no effort was spared to match the magic of the 1963 original.

Vintage Cabinet Resonance
Looks can be deceiving. While many assume vintage ACs were built with heavy wood panels, our research revealed otherwise. The AC Hand-Wired features a 9mm birch ply cabinet to match the specs of ’60s models, enhancing resonance and creating an open, three-dimensional feel.

AC10HWR1 – Paired with a single 12″ Celestion G12M Greenback speaker, the cabinet sings with the warmth and sparkle that defined countless rock recordings.

AC15HWR1X – Paired with a single 12″ Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, the cabinet sings with the warmth and sparkle that defined countless rock recordings.

AC30HWR2X – Paired with dual 12″ Celestion Alnico Blue speakers, the cabinet sings with the warmth and sparkle that defined countless rock recordings.

The Iconic VOX Voice
The AC Hand-Wired features the classic Top Boost channel, delivering the chime and drive that have shaped the sound of VOX over the decades. The separate Treble, Bass, and Volume controls offer precise tonal shaping, letting you dial in anything from crystalline jangle to full-bodied crunch.

True to its heritage, this amp remains touch-sensitive, expressive, and harmonically complex, whether you’re clean or cranked.
