VOX

Description

The Beatles. Queen. The Rolling Stones. Now, it's your turn. The VOX AC4HWR1 handwired 1x12 tube guitar combo amp delivers the legendary tone of the VOX Golden Age, and the 1960s AC series in a compact, meticulously crafted package. Built with top-drawer components, this flexible little amp is a 4W, 1x12" combo with custom transformers and power circuits, handwired with traditional turret board construction.

Pop off the 15 screws on its back panel and see the craftsmanship for yourself. What's the low down? How about a vibrant mix of sparkling highs, resonant mids and that authentic British overdrive, with an exceptionally responsive and dynamic feel. Complete with authentic spring reverb and an FX loop for your effects, this little powerhouse is easy to take from rehearsal to gigs to practicing in your bedroom. See for yourself why VOX amplifiers have been the ideal choice for guitarists seeking authentic vintage sound since 1957.

Custom Power Supply—Feel the Vintage Sag

You know that "sag" and compression that makes vintage VOX amps sing? That's what this custom power supply brings. It's not about clinical precision; it's about feel, that organic response that makes playing an extension of yourself. This amp breathes with your playing, giving you that dynamic interaction seasoned players crave. The refined circuit keeps the warmth, richness and unmistakable VOX character—and ditches unwanted noise and ghost notes that plague some vintage designs. This amp responds to your touch, the way it blooms and compresses, it's all there, and it's all about making you sound and feel your best. This power supply isn't just a component; it's the heart and soul of the vintage VOX experience, delivering that dynamic, touch-sensitive response that defines the brand.

Celestion Greenback Speaker for Classic Tone

The 12" Celestion Greenback? It's a legend for a reason. That warm midrange, those smooth highs—it's the voice of rock and roll. This speaker makes the AC4HWR1 sound bigger than it is, adding depth to clean tones and a real bite to your leads. It's got that classic vibe, that undeniable character, that just feels right. Every note you play, it just lands. Its well-made cab enhances harmonic depth and improves portability, and the Greenback gives the amp a real vintage character and makes this baby stand out. This is the speaker that countless guitar legends have relied on, and now it's available to power your tone.

Your Sound, Your Way With Spring Reverb and FX Loop

A good spring reverb adds that touch of magic, that sense of space. And this one's a beauty. It's lush, it's deep, but it never gets in the way of your tone. Plus, if you're into pedals, the built-in FX loop ensures your signal remains pristine, no matter how many effects you throw at it. It's about giving you the tools to shape your sound. You want it clean? You want it dirty? This amp can handle it all. This is the versatility you need to express your unique voice, whether you're playing simple chords or complex textures.

Handwired Cabinet for Authentic Resonance

This isn't just a box; it's a living, breathing part of the amp. The thinner wood, handwired construction—it all adds up to a resonance you can feel in your chest. It's that classic VOX sound, big and bold, with a harmonic richness you won't find in modern amps. It's built to last, too, so you can take it from the studio to the stage without a worry. It's about capturing that vintage vibe, that connection to the past and bringing it into your present. This cab isn't just a container; it's an integral part of the amp's character, delivering the authentic, resonant VOX sound.
