Overview

A meticulously crafted AC15 with timeless VOX tone.

The VOX AC15HWR1X 15W 1x12 hand-wired tube guitar combo amp brings vintage tone into the modern era with unparalleled craftsmanship and meticulous design. Inspired by the iconic AC15 and AC30 models of the 1960s, this amp is built with hand-wired circuitry that reproduces the warm, unmistakable sound of its predecessors. A single 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speaker delivers a rich, balanced response, ideal for players seeking a distinct voice for studio work or small gigs. With 15 watts of tube-driven power, this amp captures the legendary sound of vintage VOX amplifiers while incorporating contemporary features like a built-in effects loop and spring reverb to meet the demands of today's players. It's an inspired recipe that bridges the gap between timeless VOX tone and modern usability.

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.

The VOX AC15HWR1X: Authentic Tone for Discerning Players

Designed for guitarists who value vintage sound and modern convenience, the VOX AC15HWR1X offers unrivaled tonal richness and versatility. Its hand-wired circuit and Celestion speaker cater to players seeking the essence of classic VOX amps, while practical features like the FX loop and built-in spring reverb ensure adaptability for today's needs. With its unmatched balance of heritage and innovation, this amp enables musicians to achieve a timeless sound that inspires creativity and delivers consistent performance, gig after gig.
