From John Lennon, Keith Richards and Brian May to Robin Zander, Clare Dunn and Yvette Young, VOX has been a trusted partner in amplification for over 65 years. Take a look at the VOX AC10HWR1 Hand-Wired 1x12 tube guitar combo amp: This sturdy workhorse has the iconic vintage tone of 1960s VOX amps in an incredibly well-made, compact package. What's under the hood? A pair of ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes and EL84 power tubes for the rich harmonic content and dynamic response that defined the original AC30 and AC15 models; a Celestion G12M Greenback speaker for warm mids and articulate highs and hand-wired circuitry for precise signal flow. Combine the vintage VOX characteristics with modern enhancements, and you get the AC10HWR1—a powerful tool for players who crave timeless tone and top-tier performance.

Power Supply—The Secret to Vintage VOX Feel
