Vox AC30HW Hand Wired AC30 Combo Amplifier Customer Review

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
I have owned an AC30TBX but this Hand Wired Limited Edition sounds much better. Both with Blue Alnico's.
Features
The Master Volume Control makes this amp the only amp you'll ever need. Could not play my TBX Reissue in small venues but the HW is great with a Master Volume control.
Ease of Use
Mine is Head w/2x12 Cab. Head is extremely heavy but built like a tank.
Quality
I've played it a lot and a few times with volume all the way up and it does as expected... sounds unbelievable!
Value
Comparable with other FANTASTIC 30W Class A hand wired boutique amps.
Manufacturer Support
No choice for N/A... never needed support so I guess that's The Best.

"Vox AC30HW ,Big money ,Tonal Satisfaction ,Celestion Blues , Perfect Match ."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This Amp is already out of production , so thats that ! I have not seen any for sale even on EBAY . I might try to find an AC30 / 6tb. I have 9 different tube Amps . They are all great in their own way . The Vox is just one of the many wonderfull tube amps out there . Each is different and unique .
Sound
What else can I say but "Killer"!! I was very suprised To find that it has an awesome Blues Tone. I was looking for a warm ,rich , amp that has a great distortion sound. What I actually got is great tones in the clean side and wonderfull warm tones all the way up to the maximum of distortion.The Vox Celestion Blues are Bad to the Bone ! The match-up is total perfection .
Features
This amp is in it's own Vox World . Anything else would detract from what it is, "Vox Perfect" . I would not change anything . As a bonus though , Vox made the Cooltron boxs for those that want to push the preamp tubes into early or more distortion . I have some Cooltrons and they really Kick Butt !
Quality
My AC30HW is made great , As for the Road , thats a place where people mis-pack their gear , that is if they pack it up at all , break it and whine about the manufacture.
Value
It was very expensive . But I received the Amp set that is tonally correct for what I wanted. There was no tonal secound choice for that Vox Rock & Blues sound .
Manufacturer Support
Don't know yet. I hve not had any problems with it.
The Wow Factor
You have to play it to love it . If you find a better amp for Britsh Rock & Blues tones , Buy it .
