The Ultimate British 2x12 Combo: Legendary Chime & 30 Watts of Pure All-Tube Headroom
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the flagship Vox AC30HWR2X Handwired 2x12 Combo. Circuit-mapped directly from a prized 1963 "copper panel" original, this hand-wired masterwork delivers the expansive 3D soundstage, chimey high-end sparkle, and touch-sensitive dynamic push that shaped the history of modern guitar tone.
Driven by four EL84 power tubes, four ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes, and a GZ34 tube rectifier, the AC30HWR2X delivers 30 watts RMS of massive headroom and organic voltage "sag." Constructed with a heavy-duty 12mm birch plywood cabinet and loaded with a pair of 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speakers, this 2x12 configuration produces punchy low-end response, sweet harmonic overtones, and unmatched acoustic projection across any stage or studio setting.
Engineered for the modern performer, the AC30HWR2X includes a tube-driven spring reverb with independent Level and Tone controls, a switchable Master Volume bypass, and a transparent, FET-buffered FX Loop (with true bypass switching). A dedicated BOOST switch on the Normal channel yields immediate midrange saturation and classic British overdrive on command.

Sanctuary Expert Note: "If the AC15 is a surgical studio knife, the AC30HWR2X is a sledgehammer of pure tone. The dual Celestion Alnico Blues create a wide, swirling soundstage that single-speaker combos simply cannot match. With the added FX loop and switchable Master Volume, you finally get authentic 1963 JMI-era chime without tearing down the walls of smaller venues."
