AC15 C1 : King of Tone!

5 years ago

Amps are subjective like all tone-related stuff but man does this VOX AC15C1 inspires! have played all from Bugera V5, V22, V55, Bugera G20, Fender DR, Laney Cub10, Peavey Bandit, VOX VT20+ , Boss Katana 50 but nothing really comes close to this (exept the Fender DR but is a different beats tone wise). Right now I have an Egnater Tweaker 15 into a Palmer 1x12 cab loaded with a Jensen Blackbird alnico 12" speaker and is a lovely sounding amp but nothing like this AC15C1.

My playing style is clean to slight overdrive and then some lead tone and all this can be found in this spungey, gritty, vintage indie goodness! I mean as soon you hit a chord Radiohead comes to mind!

At first i was eyeing the AC10C1 but it had only the top boost channel and I wasn't sure it would play well with my pedals and I also dislike closed back amps.

Im glad I chose the AC15 as both the top boost and the normal are usable and some of my guitars prefer one over the other but both take my pedal board well.

Fantastic buy! Amp with great dynamics and really responds well with the use of guitar tone and volume knobs without tone getting muddy when volume is reduced. Also turning down the tone knob on the guitar brings about some very nice crunch for rhythm!

Very happy with it! Im keeping it stock!
