* Vintage fawn-colored vinyl, reminiscent of the 1960 classic AC30 * OP mode switch cuts the output power level in half
* Master Volume/BYPASS switch completely bypasses the Master Volume section * The Top Boost channel provides a HOT/COOL switch to achieve even more gain * The Normal channel provides an additional BRIGHT switch * Traditional VOX 2-channel design (Top Boost and Normal) * Fitted with matched Ruby Tubes for extended dynamic range * Birch-ply cabinet features solid bracing and a natural high-frequency diffuser Vox AC15HW1X Combo Guitar Amplifier Features: It just makes me sick! Not actually sure if this handwired amp is made there but it would greatly disappoint me if it were true. I think there has been a loss of integrity on Vox's part with shipping their operation towards China and selling the same amps for the same price. I understand the sales part of it, but I am talking about tone and purity. Let's cut through all the garbage that Vox has put out in different variations and added letters on the model number to get more sale. This is the way God intended Vox's to sound like. Q / P ratio is excellent, and yes, I do it again this choice without hesitation. In defects, we can note some vibrations at high volume, but nothing really annoying. It's been a year that have, in lieu of a AC30CC2 (which I found a bit too powerful in the end), and the gain in quality is there.
įor most concerts, I only use the AC15 and the master reveals its usefulness to cruncher amp at low volumes. After this config request we can play with some volume. So I sometimes added in parallel a Class 5 marshall pushed to the max, only for acute and with a good reverb behind, and the combination of the two works perfectly: the vox makes a good base sound, the marshall aid drill a little deeper and gives a really dirty side to the whole. The switch "brightness" can help, but it is almost too much. The only complaint we could make the normal channel is sometimes a slight acute shortage - the relamping allowed me to open up a little more sound anyway - that would break a little more mix (our config is pretty loaded with bass, keyboards, drum machine, drums. To the Top Boost channel, I do not speak, I do not use hardly ever preferring to sound normal channel. The greenback thank you, I think it mainly comes from there. On serious AC15 are round, well defined, and when it starts the POG remains accurate. When I bought it I did a A / B comparison with my old amp, a AC30CC2 (HP Wharfedale therefore equipped): This is the day and night, especially at the bottom. I use some effects: big muff, overdrive, POG, micro synth, and some others, nothing wrong, everything goes fine. On the normal channel, pushed three quarters was a fat sound, quite compressed but still allows good grades gaffe by his attacks picks (possibly also playing on the flight. I'm not looking for his clear, on the contrary, rather good crunch.
Difficult to do less, and at the same time, that's enough. I mainly use the normal channel, master bypass, so two knobs to adjust: volume and tone cut. On the Top Boost channel, gain, bass, treble, switch hot / coolĪnd finally, master (if activated) and tone cut On the normal channel, a gain knob, a switch shine. Simple configuration, there are not 50 settings, and it is just fine. With original lamps, beyond three quarters, it became too rough. The amp saturates a little less but suddenly is exploitable even background. Note: after purchase I started to change all the lights, especially the V1 preamp where I put a 12AY7.
