A smoother, more accessible take on the VOX sound.

While the Alnico Blue-equipped model remains the benchmark for classic VOX chime and dynamic response, the VOX AC30HWR2 and AC15HWR1 combo amps feature G12M Greenbacks, offering a distinctly appealing alternative. Ceramic magnets deliver a slightly milder, more rounded tonal character—smoother in the upper mids and tighter in the low end—making them exceptionally versatile across a wider range of musical styles and playing environments.

The heart of the AC30’s and AC15's sound lies in its EL84 power section and the subtle distortion introduced by the phase inverter stage when the amp is pushed. This creates harmonics and a blooming dynamic response that’s unmistakably VOX. The Greenback-equipped model captures all of this, but shifts the tonal focus slightly: less top-end brilliance, more midrange punch, and a smoother transition into overdrive.

The amp’s power supply reproduces the original 1963 “sag” response, delivering natural compression and touch sensitivity without the noise or instability of vintage models. Every nuance in your playing translates through the Greenback’s dynamic response, from glassy cleans to saturated British roar.
