Vox AC15 C1 Reviews

Vox AC15 review

Personally I did a lot of research and compared other similar wattage amps and decided upon the AC-15C1 for my main go to amp. I will be straight in describing why I like it and why you also may not. This is not the amp to buy if you want super clean volumes and wish to use your overdrives fuzzes and distortion pedals, at least not if you want clean VOLUME. The cleans on this amp are beautiful for recording volume, warm and sweet and can rival the best fender cleans (or smoke them). However, if you want to turn up at practice or on stage your getting crunch... and in my opionion some amazing crunch, the best in its class. I was looking for that perfect garage rock tone, plug straight in and get it overdrive, and this amp delivers with a cherry on top while maintaining clarity. The reverb and tremolo effect are rich and deep. Not much to say except they work excellently and If Surf reverb tones or some Jazz tremolo or fill in the blank, are on your mind, trust me it will do it. The tubes are a pain to replace. You need to take out like 15 or 20 screws and pull off the back cover to expose them. The benefit, If you treat this baby right your tubes last good and long and you'll have this amp for a long long time!

Best 15w combo amp in the market for vintage tones.

Great amp - very vintage and exactly what you 'd expect from a vox amp. Be careful it is extra heavy. Not for people with back problems! Medium quality reverb, but the tremolo and boost channel are unbeatable. Very good price for what you get. Can't wait for a head version.

Great amp ..

Been with me for two years now .. no problem at all ..

Sound very good at least for my ear .. I set it for clean sound and its great ..

Mostly on Top Boost channel ..

Price is great for such a famous amp ...

Yet when carrying it, need proper handling since it is quite heavy ..

A classic

The rumors weren't wrong. Small and punchy, clear and agressive, warm and round. Great sound for the price!

Lovely Amp.

Im very happy with this amp. It has two channels, normal and top boost, both have plenty of useable tones. I principally use the top boost channel, it produces beautiful clean tones with loads of clean headroom for a relatively small amp. The tremolo is nice, but maybe not the best tremolo i've heard, much the same with the reverb, nice, but not amazing, i tend to use these effects sparingly. The amp breaks up nicely when pushed and you can get amazing classic vox tones. It is perfect for classic rock or indie rock or blues, it is certainly not a high gain amp, though there is plenty of crunch available. The master volume and tone cut features are very useful for getting an overdriven sound and relatively low volumes. The amp is heavy though, even for a tube amp and i would not like to have to lug it around for gigs. Certainly an amazing ampf for home/practice/ recording and smalll gigs.

Vox ac15 c1

Considering I wasn't able to afford the ac30, the vox ac15 it a very close second! It looks and sound vintage which is exactly what I want! The main thing I like so much about it is how on for example "normal" I have it set clean but I like the gain going into distortion you get as you turn up the volume however I have them set the same level because I use pedals for distortion and also other effects. Lastly, the brilliant tremolo built in!! It's class :)
