Despite the AC30 being manufactured with nearly identical circuitry since the 1960s, the character of vintage units is often described as being almost beyond description, possessing a rich and musical quality that i s equally unmistakable and mysterious. We aimed to unravel the secrets of this sound, bringing the vintage magic to the musicians of today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AC-HWR series reproduces the vintage VOX tone through meticulous research.

In contrast, vintage amplifier power supplies exhibit fluctuations that respond to the large movement of speakers, giving the distinctive “compression” and “sag” sensations associated with vintage amps. In our research, we measured the power supply circuit of many vintage AC30s and used these to help design an entirely new power supply to replicate these vintage tone and performance characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, merely mimicking the vintage characteristics can lead to the generation of undesirable tones, particularly”ghost notes”–extraneous pitches unrelated to the actual played notes especially at high volumes. Faced with the dilemma of prioritizing sound quality or addressing ghost notes, the previous AC30CC2 model incorporated a switch to toggle the power supply’s smoothing circuit. With the newly designed power supply circuit, the new VOX Hand-wired amplifiers address ghost notes without compromising sound quality and responsiveness, navigating the delicate balance between the two considerations in a truly musical way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.2 Output Transformer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe output transformer contributes significantly to the classic vintage VOX sound. Even if the specifications are the same, saturation distortion in the transformer section can add to the pleasant harmonic components of vintage amplifiers. However, as this distortion cannot be precisely measured by the specifications of the transformer, we embarked on a program of extensive prototyping to develop custom transformers with the essential vintage sound characteristics required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.3 Cabinet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe carefully examined the thickness of the materials used, as the vintage AC30 employed slightly thinner cabinet materials, contributing to a rich and expansive midrange.
