Up for sale, a 2003 Vox AC30HWH Limited Edition Hand-Wired UK-made tube amp head and matching 2x12 speaker cabinet in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original two-button footswitch. A very thoughtfully designed and particularly rare iteration of the AC30 platform, this hand-wired edition was only offered from 2003-2004, and was the very last AC30 circuit designed and built in the UK under the ownership of Korg (who also owned Marshall at the time).
Ingenious in both its vintage-centric circuitry and player-friendly tweaks, the AC30HWH (HWH translating to Hand-Wired Head) featured JMI-style turret board wiring with premium components used throughout and custom transformers modeled after the Woden transformers used in the most coveted AC30s of the early '60s. A single channel, two-input affair, the amp boasts Vox's Top Boost Treble/Bass circuitry as well as the Tone Cut treble roll off, also featuring a Master Volume to achieve signature Vox sizzle and overdriven chime at more manageable volumes. The amp features a tube-driven Tremolo as well as a spring reverb, both of which can be activated via the included original two-button footswitch.
The matching 2x12 extension speaker cabinet (model CV212LTD) is loaded with its stock pair of Celestion Alnico Blue speakers which have pristine frames and original cones, pairing perfectly with the tonal range of the head for a true early '60s JMI Vox sound.
Cosmetics include black basketweave tolex, brown diamond lattice grillcloth, white piping, two-pin corners, and Limited Edition Hand-Wired badges on the head and cabinet. Studio-kept, there are only a couple light scuffs on the tolex.
