Hand-Wired VOX AC10HWR1 AC10 Combo Guitar Amplifier

The Vox AC10HWR1 is a compact combo amp, designed for lower output use.

In Vox's research, they 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.

The 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.

Vox carefully examined the thickness of the materials used, as the vintage AC30 employed slightly thinner cabinet materials, contributing to a rich and expansive midrange. The new cabinet design employs the same thickness of material as the vintage amp, helping to deliver a faithful sound reproduction.

In contemplating what could enhance the immersive quality of a guitar amp, a very high-quality spring reverb unit was considered a “must-have” to achieve that magic vintage sound. Modern guitarists love to combine various effects to create their individual sound. However, issues can arise when combining distorted amps with spatial, modulation, and pitch-shift effects. Distorting these effects can muddy the sound. To address this, an FX loop was integrated, allowing for a clean output of effects.
