The Vox AC30 Custom Head is a new addition to Vox’s lineup of vintage-inspired and hugely popular AC amplifiers. It includes all the highly desirable industry standard features of the original AC30 combo amplifiers. One of its key features is a switchable output impedance and wattage attenuator, allowing for low-volume practice without sacrificing the amp’s natural tone. The amp also has built-in reverb and tremolo effects, providing additional creativity to shape the vintage Vox tone to your own liking. With 30 watts of output power, a dual-input configuration, and an FX Loop with a bypass switch, this amp head is suitable for both aspiring and established guitarists ready to take the stage.

The Custom Series amps offer a range of tonal options with two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Each channel has its own volume control, and the Top-Boost channel includes interactive treble and bass tone controls. This pairing of powerful channels allows for abundant tone-crafting control, enabling you to create your own classic sound. The Master section includes Tone Cut and Volume controls, with the Tone Cut operating in the power stage for further tone-shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to achieve the desired gain-staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Custom Series delivers anything from a clean VOX sound to a powerful overdriven tone.
The Custom Series amps also offer customizable sound options. They include a VOX Classic Tremolo effect with adjustable speed and depth controls, allowing you to generate the exact sound you need. A warm Spring Reverb is also included, adding spaciousness to the sound. The Reverb section has an additional tone control, providing endless harmonic capabilities. The amps can be used with the VOX VFS2 footswitch to turn the Reverb and Tremolo effects on and off while playing. Moreover, the AC30 Custom Head features an effects loop for incorporating your favorite effects into your sound. The “Bypass” switching removes the entire effect loop from the circuit.
The Vox AC30 Custom Head comes with two 1/4 inch speaker outputs for connecting to single or multiple speaker cabinets at the same time. It also offers selectable output impedance of 8 or 16 ohms, making it compatible with a range of speaker cabinets. Additionally, the amp includes selectable output wattage of 1/3, 3, and 30 watts, allowing for premium driven valve tones even at low volumes.
