Vox

15 watts of pure Brit-inspired tone, pumping through a 12" Celestion greenback speaker.

An Evolution in Tone
Vox Custom amps offer 2 channels: Normal and Top Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.

Both channels rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Vox Custom Amps can deliver everything from a clean Vox "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone.

Sound in Motion
You can sweeten the sound of your Custom Series amplifier using the Vox Classic Tremolo effect. Both the speed and the depth are adjustable, allowing you to generate just the sound you want. A warm Spring Reverb is also included on all Custom Series guitar amps, adding spaciousness to the sound. All Vox Custom amplifiers can use the Vox VFS2 footswitch, allowing you to turn the Reverb and Tremolo effects on and off as you continue to play.

Power Sharing
The Vox AC15C1 combo makes use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and uses a pair of EL84 tubes to drive a single 12" Celestion G12M Greenback. All guitar amps in the Vox Custom Series offer a switchable 8/16-ohm output jack for powering an external speaker cabinet when you need to speak with a little more authority; using this jack will mute the internal speakers. Additionally, a second extension speaker jack allows you to run an extra 16-ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound.

Versatile, loud, nice tone

| Review By: Douglas Moore | 1 month, 3 weeks ago

2 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

Reverb and Tremolo is nice.  No overdrive or effects loop or line out. Top Boost is nice option for tone variance.

Quality:

Aesthetics are nice.  I have a metallic sounding vibration (kinda like a fret buzz) when playing mid to mid/high range notes...so at 10 days old, the amp is at a shop that honors warranty. Kind of annoying.  Tone range is versatile.  Amp is heavy and well built.  Very loud.

Value:

Price is right.

Overall:

Nice amp, nice features, loud and versatile.  Didn't quite live up to all the hype.

Great Amp for the Price

| Review By: Greg Ford | 3 months, 1 week ago

0 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

Overall features are pretty simple which makes it relatively easy to dial in the amp. The great part about the amp is that it is fairly easy to mod and there are many sights documenting how to do it. I wasn't thrilled how it took my overdrive pedals but you can easily fix this issue with the bright cap mod. I just added a 3 way switch allow me to chance between caps.

 

Reverb: is basicly useless. Get an Rv5

 

Tremolo: ok I just don't use it.

 

Speaker: Get a Celestion Blue. It changes the ac15 from an ok amp to a real player. Seriously, I began to doubt my amp but the blue transformed it. It just sounds like it's suppose to. Perfect breakup and clarity with a one of a kind voice.

Quality:

Solidly build. I move this thing around to gigs multiple times a week and it's still in one piece. The tolex is starting to peel in a few places but it looks cool so I'm ok with it. It is a bit of a tank at 50lbs so it's not the most fun thing to move around but it could be worse.

Value:
Overall:

Great tube amp for the price. Not bad out of the box but with a little work you can get this amp sounding great. Again I can't say enough about the Celestion Blue. I know it's expensive but it sounds amazing.

Vox AC15 C1 Combo Amp

| Review By: Johnny D-NAUxh | 4 months, 1 week ago

4 people out of 6 found this review helpful

Features:

This is the latest version of this gem. Fairly simple to operate and has the basic feature of a good tube amp. Top boost, reverb, trem, and 2 input channel jacks.

Quality:

Quality seems to be very good. I was impressed by the workmanship. Just a tad bit heavy but not a deal breaker. I also have a Silverface Twin Reverb and that is like hauling a boat anchor.

Value:

This amp is the best value for the money that I have ever run across. Period! The only thing better would be to find one in good condition used, but you would have to consider the source.

Overall:

The first one I received was DOA out of the box. MF had me return that and the sent me another. The second one was just fine.

 

For a lot of players, this amp would be great right out of the box. I play Telecasters so for me personally, I like more headroom. The 25 watt Greenback speaker broke up too early for my tastes. I replaced the Greenback with a 50 watt Weber Bluedog that I already had. I installed the Greenback in a solid state Hughes & Kettner amp and it sounds great. The Chinese tubes did not sound bad. I installed a set of JJ's only because I have had good luck with them, and I only want to work on the amp once as there are a lot of screws to these back panels. As a resulf, this amp is a whole lot louder and cleaner. Just the way I like it.

This amp delivers!

| Review By: jhawkr (FDP) | 4 months, 3 weeks ago

3 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

Very impressed with the Top Cut feature. Very useful.

Quality:

Seems to be fine so far but can't give it a 10 just yet.

Value:

One of the better bargains in amps IMHO.

Overall:

This amp does what it was designed to do. For practice or small venues with a housebroken drummer, its 15 watts is ample. For larger, noisier environments you probably need to look at the AC30. I was pleasantly surprised with the Greenback. I was assuming I'd replace it with a Blue but now, I'm so happy with the amp as a package, I'd rather not. I'll even wait for the tubes to fail before replacing them with some Mullards and Brimars I have lying around. The amp is a good value for the money and a good addition to my arsenal.
