One of the proudest lineages in guitar amplification
Founded in 1957, Vox Amplification has been a staple for guitarists for over half of a century. 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 its chime, sparkle, and signature growl. A timeless classic, The Vox AC15 is a brilliant workhorse amp that will never go out of style.
Power and preamps
The combination of the Vox AC15 Custom Vintage Black’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 tone. While 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 stompboxes. This special AC15 sports upgraded JJ tubes, taking an already-incredible tone to the next level.
Loaded with a Creamback
The Vox AC15 Custom Vintage Black is packed with a 12” Celestion Creamback to produce its quintessentially British tone. The Creamback’s warm vintage character is punctuated with a distinctive snarl and a substantial low-end grunt, along with punchy mids and sweet, singing highs. Clean or cranked, the Vox AC15 Custom Vintage Black soars with this immaculately built speaker.
