The VOX AC15HW1 is a hand-wired guitar amp combo using turret board circuits for a vintage VOX tone.
The VOX AC15HW1 Hand Wired relies on the painstaking technique of turret board hand-wiring – a method requiring a high level of skill and craftsmanship – to create its fantastic, authentic VOX tone.
The AC15 Hardwired features two channels - a Normal channel and a Top Boost channel. The Normal channel features a single volume control with a bright switch, while the Top Boost channel adds a 2-band EQ and a Hot/Cool switch to choose between the Top Boost channel and a bypass for a more direct valve tone.
The Master section features a Tone Cut and a Volume control, as well as a bypass switch to use the amp as an original handwired amp, which meant having to play at high volumes to achieve a higher gain sound. The output power can also be cut by half, to further enable all tones to be used at lower volumes.
The main features of the VOX AC15HW1 include:
This is a cracking amplifier. Looks great, is built really well and sounds amazing. Also sounds great at low volumes due to the master volume, but gets very loud too. So perfect for every occasion, from bed time practice to gigs.
