AC15 C1 : Classic Vox Tones

After playing a VT20 for a couple of years, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I was torn between the AC15 and a Marshall Origin 20, eventually the classic Vox chime won out.

Build quality:

The build quality of the AC15 is very very nice, it's basically built like a tank (and 21.7 kg heavy like one too). I would expect this amp to last a long time.

Sound:

First up, it's loud - and I mean really really loud. But hey, loud is more good right? Honestly, though it is probably too loud for bedroom use (if you want to crank it that is). I will almost certainly get an attenuator as I only play at home.

I love the sparkly Vox tone, and this delivers in spades. You can go from beautiful rich sounding cleans to full on throaty rock tones.

The only downside I can see is that the speaker is hard wired so to use the internal speaker with an attenuator, you need to mod it.
