First introduced in 1958, the AC15 combo has been the amp of choice for countless guitar players throughout the world. Drawing on more than 50 years of amp-building expertise, the AC15C1 Custom Series offers maximum tonal dexterity.
The Models
An Evolution in Tone
VOX Custom Series amps offer two 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 Custom Series 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 amps, adding spaciousness to the
sound. All Custom Series amps 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 AC15C1 combo makes use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and uses pair of
EL84 tubes to drive a single 12" Celestion G12M Greenback. All models in
the 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 2nd extension speaker jack allows you to run an extra 16
ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound.
AC15C1-RD Limited Vintage Red Edition
The AC15C1 tube combo amp – a worldwide favorite – is now available in a limited Vintage Red edition
From their earliest origins to the present day, VOX has sent numerous custom-color and limited-color amplifiers out into the world. Ranging from standard colors such as gray, blue, green, and purple to original colors such as two-tone and tan, this range of variation goes far beyond that of other amp brands. Each of these models has represented a further enhancement of the superb VOX design and unique look, and has captured the interest of guitarists in every generation. Now, the limited-color Vintage Red resurrects a custom color that appeared in 1963, for a particularly vintage character. With a character that differs from the limited red on VOX amps of recent years, this model projects a weightier and deeper feeling. It's an excellent match for the AC15C1 – the reigning standard of mid-size tube-amps – and will project a powerful presence in any environment; on stage, in the studio, or at home.
