VOX AC30S1 30W 1×12″ Tube Combo Amp
Tight and powerful—without compromise. The VOX AC30S1 OneTwelve channels the iconic sound of the original AC30 in a sleek, single-channel combo that’s perfect for gigging, studio work, or expressive home playing.
Key Features & Highlights
-
Simplified Top Boost Channel
Engineered around the revered Top Boost preamp circuit, the AC30S1 offers that signature VOX chime: sparkling cleans with immediate attack, progressing to warm, dynamic overdrive as you dig in. -
All-tube Design
Powered by a classic tube lineup—2 × 12AX7 preamp tubes and 4 × EL84 power tubes—the amp delivers rich harmonic character, dynamic response, and that unmistakable British tone. -
Custom 12″ Celestion VX12 Speaker
Tailored for this model, the Celestion speaker provides clarity, punch, and balance—perfect for clean articulation or gritty chord textures. -
Studio-quality Digital Reverb
Immerse your tone with lush reverb that can range from a gentle ambience to dreamy saturation—without stealing the amp’s natural dynamics. -
Effects Loop & External Speaker Output
Seamlessly integrate pedals or rack units via the send/return loop. Add sonic breadth with the external speaker jack for larger cabinets or line-out setups. -
Compact Format
Measuring approximately 25.9″ × 10.4″ × 21.7″ and weighing in around 24.5 kg, the AC30S1 is notably more portable than full‑size 2×12 VOX combos.
Control Panel
-
Gain, Volume, Bass, Treble, and Reverb offer streamlined tone-shaping.

-
Classic VOX tones without the weight or complexity of a 2×12 rig.

All-tube warmth and touch sensitivity in a portable combo.
