INTRODUCTION
For many years, VOX has been designing and manufacturing some of the most renowned
amplifiers in the world and today is no exception. We’re honoured that you have chosen
to add the AC Hand Wired series to your sonic arsenal!
Beautifully hand built, using the finest components and custom parts to bring together the
old and the new.
This is classic VOX with a modern twist.
Not satisfied with just dusting off old designs, we have taken the iconic TOP BOOST
channel from our AC30 and given it a modern shake up…
The TOP BOOST channel has GAIN, TREBLE and BASS controls, but we’ve added
something extra HOT!
The Top Boost channel now features two distinct modes, “COOL” and “HOT”. COOL is
classic VOX; shimmering highs and gorgeous breakup. HOT is something a little different.
When in HOT mode, the TOP BOOST tone controls are bypassed for a more pure signal
path and what this means to you is more gain... a lot more GAIN!
Best of all, the HOT mode can be engaged with the supplied VFS1 Foot Switch making it
ideal for a lead boost when you need to nail that killer solo!
Finally, the single ended class A power stage can be controlled using the VOLUME con-
trol which allows you to get the saturated tones the amp does so well without waking the
neighbours!
We believe this to be one of the most sonically versatile Hand Wired VOX amplifiers to
date, and is well on the way to joining its Grandfathers in the VOX hall of fame.
Enjoy!
VOX Team
