Vintage Vox AC-30/6 Super Twin with Reverb - UK 1964

Few amplifiers in history have left a mark as deep as the Vox AC-30. Since its introduction in the late 1950s, it has become one of the most iconic and widely used amplifiers in rock and pop music, defining the sound of countless legendary artists. The AC-30/6 Super Twin with Reverb, produced in the early 1960s, was a more versatile take on the classic AC-30, offering an expanded feature set while retaining the unmistakable chime, warmth, and breakup that made these amps legendary.

The 1964 Vox AC-30/6 Super Twin was designed as a head-and-cabinet configuration rather than the more common combo format. This allowed for better sound dispersion and reduced stage vibrations, making it a favourite among touring musicians who needed that signature Vox tone with added flexibility.

This amp delivers everything you'd want from a vintage Vox—lush, sparkling cleans, complex mids, and a rich overdrive when pushed hard. The Top Boost circuit, introduced in the early ‘60s, adds extra presence and articulation, making it perfect for cutting through a mix. Whether you’re playing crystal-clear chords, jangly rhythms, or singing lead lines, the AC-30/6 Super Twin excels at delivering depth, clarity, and harmonic richness.

Thanks to a full restoration by Matt from Turramurra Music in Sydney, this 1964 AC-30/6 Super Twin with Reverb is in top working order. The amp has had a Hammond spring reverb unit installed, adding lush, vintage-style reverb that complements the amp’s naturally spacious sound. Additionally, it features two new Vox speakers, ensuring that it faithfully delivers that classic AC-30 tone with full frequency response.

It comes in good condition, with the original grille cloth intact and some scuff marks on the black tolex, showing its history while still looking fantastic. Importantly, it is fully functional and sounds phenomenal after its expert restoration. It also comes with a cover for the speaker cabinet, offering protection when transporting or storing this vintage gem.

The Vox AC-30 is synonymous with some of the biggest names in music history. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Shadows, Queen’s Brian May, Tom Petty, U2’s The Edge, and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have all relied on AC-30s to shape their signature tones. From the jangly, chimey rhythm sounds of early British Invasion bands to the screaming leads of modern rock, this amp continues to be an essential tool for discerning players.

At Premier Guitars, we love vintage amps with character, history, and tone, and this 1964 Vox AC-30/6 Super Twin with Reverb embodies all of those qualities. It’s not just an amplifier; it’s a piece of rock & roll history, fully restored and ready to bring its magic to a new generation of players.
