A True Workhorse Guitar Amplifier

This Vox AC15 Custom delivers the classic chime and complex grind that has made the brand famous. This 15-watt combo amp was one of the first to define the British sound and continues to be used on stages and in studios around the world. The AC15 Custom's 15-watt design offers manageable volume in the live environment while still being able to get above the band. And the 25-watt Celestion Greenback speaker mellows high frequencies. If you want a Vox with a look that's both vintage and rare, grab this AC15 Custom.

One of the proudest lineages in guitar amplification

Vox amplification has been a staple for guitarists since their introduction. The British Invasion rocketed the company to prominence in the 1960s, and their amplifiers have backed such high-profile players as The Edge, Brian May, Tom Petty, and John Scofield. The AC15 is among the most recorded amplifiers in history because of the chime and sparkle it delivers. The Vox AC15 Custom will never go out of style because of all of the players still depending on this design today.

Power and preamps

The combination of the Vox AC15 Custom's Class A, EL84-driven power amp and its Top Boost preamp gives the amp its iconic sound. The Top Boost section adds sonic control and high-end detail to your guitar sound. The 15-watt power section sounds full and driven onstage or in the studio, cutting through the mix without dominating the other instruments. And Vox's AC circuit is famous for how well it takes any variety of your favorite effects pedals.

Loaded with a Greenback

The Vox AC15 Custom's substitution of a 12-inch Celestion 25-watt Greenback speaker parts from the traditional AC design. Sweetwater guitarists think this enhances the tone of the AC15 Custom. The Greenback's mellower, midrange-focused sound helps round off some super-high frequencies. And the quality of these Greenbacks are why you'll find them in guitarists' cabinets all over the world.

  • Legendary 15-watt British combo guitar amplifier
  • Celestion 25-watt Greenback speaker mellows harsh frequencies

Can’t go wrong with Vox

Arrived perfect and I can't say enough good things about it. Beautiful.

One of the best and prettiest clean tones I've ever heard and honestly you don't need any pedals to get a high gain or distorted sound which is standard for Vox in my experience.

I own an AC15 Handwired with an Alnico Blue and I have 0 complaints. However I added this one to the collection specifically for cleaner tones and the built in spring reverb was a great bonus.

The Vox is an all in one no matter what sound you're looking for and the AC15C1 delivers a powerful sound with a classy outer exterior. The greenback sounds amazing and the overall product is worth every penny.

Ac15c1 Vintage Red Killer

Aesthetically pleasing, pictures do not do it justice. Rob did a heck of a job talking me through my needs and want out of an amp and I am vox fan boy over Marshall and fender. The ac15c1 has the best tone out of any amp I have ever owned and loud yeah it's loud. But I had read some reviews about it being too loud for the bedroom or house and I debunked those. Yes it can get too loud but it for me anyway, didn't lower the tone value at lower levels. Love the greenback it breaks up early and has that great edge of breakup sound available when you want it like the spring reverb and the Tremelo. I would purchase this over and over. I also have a ac10c1 cream back limited amp. It's a great little amp but the tone of the ac15 is more of what I was looking for.
