VOX AC15 Hand-Wired: The Ultimate Expression of British Valve Tone
The VOX AC Hand-Wired series represents the legendary sound of the 1960s AC30 and AC15 amplifiers in its most pristine form. Through meticulous research into vintage units, VOX has successfully captured the soul of the "Chime" that defined a generation. The AC15HWR features a Turret Board Hand-Wired construction, ensuring the shortest signal path and the highest possible Tone quality. Paired with the iconic 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, this combo delivers a rich, harmonically complex sound with effortless clarity.
Vintage Circuitry with Modern Refinement
The redesigned power supply circuit accurately reproduces the "compression" and "sag" sensations typical of vintage tube amps, while the custom-wound output transformer brings out the best in your guitar's natural harmonics. While maintaining the simplicity of the 1960s originals, this series integrates essential modern features like a high-quality Federhall (Spring Reverb) and an Effektschleifen-Feature (FX Loop), making it a versatile tool for today's professional performers.
