Vox AC15 Hand-Wired 1 x 12" Combo Guitar Amplifier

The Vox AC15 Hand-Wired draws inspiration from early ‘60s Vox circuits, reproducing the subtle sag, musical overtones, and immersive midrange that helped define a generation of sound. From the stages of artists like Tom Petty to countless records etched in rock history, Vox amplifiers have long been associated with unmistakable British tone. 

Using data derived from pristine vintage units, Vox engineers revisited power section dynamics, developing a new power supply circuit that authentically mimics period-correct voltage behavior—introducing that sought-after compression and tactile response. At 15 watts, the AC15HWR1 finds a sweet spot between home recording and small-stage power.

This model features a single 12-inch Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, prized for its sparkling clarity and smooth breakup under load. The point-to-point hand-wiring ensures consistent signal integrity and vintage-accurate behavior. A custom output transformer, paired with a cabinet constructed to 1960s material thickness specs, enhances resonance and warmth across the frequency range.

Contemporary players will appreciate the built-in spring reverb and dedicated FX loop, offering seamless pedal integration without sacrificing tonal clarity. With classic looks and updated reliability, the AC15 Hand-Wired stands as a modern homage to Vox legacy—ready to serve the next Johnny Marr.
