Celestion Alnico Blue for Iconic VOX Chime

An integral component of the AC15HWR’s vintage-inspired voice is the legendary 12" Celestion Alnico Blue. Revered since the 1960s for its shimmering highs, balanced mids and smooth, organic breakup, the Alnico Blue is the heart of the classic "British Invasion" sound. Its dynamic response lets every nuance of your playing shine, whether you’re coaxing glassy cleans or pushing into singing overdrive. The speaker’s natural compression adds a musical sweetness to chords and leads alike, while its efficiency ensures the full character of the EL84 tubes is faithfully delivered. It’s the perfect partner for a hand-wired AC15, ensuring that unmistakable VOX chime rings through every note.

Custom Output Transformer Produces Rich Harmonics

The VOX AC15HWR1X features a carefully designed output transformer that contributes significantly to its timeless sound. Drawing from extensive prototyping, this transformer delivers subtle saturation that adds harmonic complexity to your guitar signal. This detail enhances the amp’s dynamic response, recreating the coveted "compression" and "sag" characteristic of classic VOX tones. Whether you're layering intricate rhythms or driving solos, the custom transformer ensures a lush, musical quality that stands out in any mix.

Spring Reverb and FX Loop Expand Creative Options

A premium spring reverb unit in the VOX AC15HWR1X adds depth and atmosphere to your playing, from subtle reflections to expansive trails. The onboard effects loop allows you to integrate modulation, pitch-shifting and spatial effects without muddying your tone. By placing effects after the preamp section, your signal stays clean, and the amp delivers optimal sound clarity—even when layering complex pedal combinations. These features give players greater control over their tonal palette, making it easy to explore new sonic territories.

Hand-Wired Construction Preserves Vintage Quality

The VOX AC15HWR1X is built using meticulous hand-wired circuitry, maintaining the precision and character of vintage amplifiers. The cabinet features carefully selected materials, replicating the thinner construction of 1960s VOX amps for enhanced midrange resonance. Durable wood enclosures ensure lasting reliability, while its compact design makes it easy to transport between gigs and sessions. Every detail reflects craftsmanship designed for longevity and superior performance.
