Versatile,excellent tone and punch!
Published on 07/23/14 at 11:39The Vox AC15 is a 15w, single channel all-tube (three 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 tubes to drive a single 12" Celestion G12M Greenback) amp. It has a external speaker input switchable between 8ohm and 16ohms, with the purpose of powering an external speaker cabinet, and another extension speaker jack, which can be used to run another 16ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers, to get a more powerful sound. It also features tremolo (with depth and speed controls) and reverb, both of which are also switchable but via a two button foot switch. This amp offers two channels: Normal and Top Boost.

It has a external speaker input switchable between 8ohm and 16ohms, with the purpose of powering an external speaker cabinet, and another extension speaker jack, which can be used to run another 16ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers, to get a more powerful sound. It also features tremolo (with depth and speed controls) and reverb, both of which are also switchable but via a two button foot switch. This amp offers two channels: Normal and Top Boost. Each channel has its own volume control, and the Top Boost channel includes Treble and Bass tone controls. Even if it's only a 15w amp, it can get surprisingly loud, not enough to fill an arena but for small venues it's ideal. The Vox AC15 is perfect for genres like blues, rock, vintage music and indie because of its classic tube tone.
UTILIZATION
A great thing about this amp is that it's very easy to get a good sound without the use of pedals. The reverb and tremolo sound amazing and organic. I hardly use tremolo or reverb pedals when using this amp. It's important to learn how to use the Master Volume control along with the individual volume controls, especially with the Top Boost volume knob. To get a powerful tone I put the Top Boost volume to the top and then use the Master volume control to adjust the gain. This way I can make sure I get the best overdrive tone out of this amp, which, as I stated before, can get extremely loud for its 15w. In the studio we crank it up to the limit to record high gain guitars, and they sound amazing in the mix, powerful, warm, and aggressive.
SOUNDS
One great thing about this amp is its versatility, You can have a clean, sweet sounding tone, but when you crank this amp up to the limit you can get an unbelievably loud and overdriven tone, thanks to the 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 tubes it offers. I use it with a Fender Telecaster and it sounds amazing, when you attack with a pick you can really feel the crunch and power of this amp. I used to own a Marshall amp (which exact model I can't recall) which costed me approximately as much as the Vox AC15, and it's really nothing like this one, in terms of tone quality, versatility and over-all sound. The Vox AC15 is my favorite amp for recording almost any guitar. Since I don't play heavy metal or anything like that I don't need that much gain, if you play anything heavy that requires more power perhaps this is not the amp you need. However with the help of pedals you can still get more punch.
OVERALL OPINION
What I like the most about this amp is the tone, versatility, and quality of sound. It also is perfect for the music I play.
I think the price is very reasonable ( I paid around $450) and it's so durable that if you buy it used it will probably sound awesome too. I tried some other amps before, like Marshall and Fender, and even though I liked the Fender sound too, the tube sound of this amp captivated me. I definitely would buy again if I needed to, and I highly recommend it. In conclusion:
Pros
-Great tone
-Versatile
-Warmth
-Easy to use
-Crunch
Cons:
-Power

UTILIZATION
Reading the manual is useful for those who do not know how a tube amp: there are things that needs to be careful, heat a little like leaving the lights on stand by before playing, or vice versa to let cool before moving the beast, otherwise premature aging of the lamps.
The rest is an amp that I like: Intuitive.
You turn the knobs, we try to understand what it does, we explore, there are sounds that go well, we play, adjusting his game is refined setting of the amp, it further refines his game, its settings on the guitar ...
Thus the two tone controls (bass and treble), not only filters acting on a specific range of frequencies, but a real effect, they overlap and are not linear, the carves its use significantly, many more than a classic tone.
So, in terms of use, it is a anti-amp modeling.
That is, it pushes us to really do a thorough job, which affects both our game settings and techniques. Modeling, providing prefabricated sounds (although you can also do infinite settings) leads us to more easily: the amp gives a Soldano sound directly ... Why look further?? An AC15, like any other amp roots of this type is an amp that, because of its simplicity grows to be demanding with himself and with his fingers.
One last detail: the power. If you live in a place where noise is a problem ... Well think about watching the side of the amp 5 watts, or plan to complete your equipment a powerbrake. 15-watt lamps, it still deposit, as it must make at least one third of its power for good sound ...
SOUNDS
Before going further, a small oratory precautions: all this is very subjective ... fortunately.
I said then that all I will then share in my ear is based on what I play and where I am on my way to guitar.
I play a little bit of everything in the sphere of Jazz / Blues / Fonk / Reggea / Rock and all mixtures can be done with it, and adding a few forays into electro (lounge, dub, electro-pop, hard tech).
I do this with a Variax, which I use "tool-practical-to-be-all-in-the-hand-with-a-son-standardized-and-ready-to-eat-
for-the-home-studio (phew).
And I especially a semi-hollow Ibanez (AS 103), which is my guitar with me half-boxes, for Life
I was playing with different amp, and at home, I had a Vox AD30 customized (an external speaker with a Celestion G12H, 10 "of the AD30 is really too low). It was very good for homestudio ... but for music ... I missed the depth and dynamics of all lamps.
Well now I have and I am completely satisfied.
So here's my subjective view of the beast:
Comprehensive approach:
<ul> It's very good. Certainly there is a single grain, but it is quite versatile, look the other way: it will sound very warm and dynamic cleans to very aggressive overdrive sounds (can be done quite earache).
From my point of view, this amp is "natural". That is a partner in a guitar, it sounds coming out of this guitar, slightly worked in clean (hot, cold, sweet, aggressive overdrive ...), with the boost.
I connect two pedals mainly a wah wah and Mercer box, glue it, no incompatibility of temperament
In short, this is an amp that is designed to enhance your guitar and play, no more, no less. </ul>
Comprehensive approach:
<ul> First approach: the game between the master (amplification) and volume (preamp). It works in a conventional manner, and that by mounting the volume you get a good crunch, albeit typically "British" but rather hot, Dumoine with my guitars, which are themselves rather sweet. Limit in overdrive the preamp, one is in a great blues record, very hot (this is what I prefer). The overdrive of the amplifier section and beautiful too, but it sounds hard!
The dynamic is very good performance as well (I'm curious to know how get from HP ...). In short, it makes noise, and at home, it is difficult to push the amp into a corner without causing a war with other people! This also pushes to play with his fingers all the subtleties of touch pass ... and all errors completely agree
Second approach: Boost (tone + volume). It is incredibly versatile, it alone justifies the excellent value for money of this amp, leaving the competitors far behind that point of view. In short, it is with him that we will find a wide range of sounds between warmth and aggressiveness in sonic. The settings are acting ... it is therefore necessary to take accurate notes to find the latest one.
The surprise on the cake: the tremolo. At first, I always found this interesting, entertaining, but quickly tired, a little too much actually. Vox but it pushes me to explore this field: the tremolo is great, but now no exaggeration, the settings are very progressive. Combined with the warmth of the sound is a joy. I sometimes take for Marc Ribot (excellent avant-jazz guitarist to know absolutely)!
The reverb: then that, I have a problem with the reverb. Of course, it's a real, with real springs ... but I've never tried one that I like reverb. So she turned down to give a little space, or cut (to play jazz, there's no need). </ul>
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for a few weeks, I do not think have been around ... in fact, we never turn a good amp: things are going with our game, found on the amp is changing our game itself ... is infinite!
Before I went, I tried (almost) all tube amps that exist in this price range (500 to € 1000), with the aim of having a palette oriented Blues-Rock. It ended in battle Fender / Vox. Peavey has taken a while, Laney 10 minutes ... Rivera and Marshall (JTM only), it was tempting, but above the maximum price.
Fender or Vox, then? Honestly, it is worth ... It is probably also the case for Peavey and Laney ... it is only a matter of sensitivity. Vox wins for me the two confrontations: against Hot Rod AC30, AC15 against Blues Jr. Warmer, more roots. But it's very subjective.See less20 - alex51000Published on 03/07/07 at 02:11 (This content has been automatically translated from French)A lot of things already said below

I manage to get enough slamming her (lens) our funk and ska, I put a little bass and treble for the removal of reggae. Wha wha pedal my hands a little slam. and I puts master volume and a half to get his drive over 70 hot rock.
Are a lot of question in the forum on the power. I get up and confirm, this amp does cover a battery (in addition to my drummer has a tendency to hit very hard) in clear sound overdrive.
The main advantage from my point of view is that the amplifier is 15 W. It's much easier to saturate the lamps, the amp runs at full speed when playing in groups over a 30 W or more that you bridle a little at the volume level when playing in groups.
SOUNDS
Amp is entirely suitable for my style I zik funk, rock, ska, reggae with a gibson sg standard (not that we do not do the heavy rock with this Grat ...)
The sound is nickel from my point of view. This gives her a pretty funky light through the volume low enough and high enough and the master of playing the bass and treble. By removing some acute and putting a little more bass it will sound more roots reggae. Then the greater the volume (by lowering the master for the neighbors and ears!) Plus we will have a warm sound, we feel that the lights begin to saturate, the sound becomes more and more overdrive and rock and roll. .. No big metal saturation but to the rock is nickel. For my part I sold all my pedals overdrive, saturation, etc ...

The finish is not bad, good though the buttons are plastic, etc ... but the price / quality ratio is great. I paid € 500 and regret it

-Reverb (absolutely sucks, but can be a change of line spring (30/40 €) could correct this (I would do the test soon)
A cut-Master Volume
-A footswitch to control the reverb and tremolo.
missing a second channel and an effects loop
vintage design, it's funny two minutes, but it's not practical.
UTILIZATION
I have not seen the shadow of a manual, also in part to recall the constraints of the lamps, it is not used much here.

for simplicity, see above ...
its level, that sounds about right, whatever the settings (the amp is adjusted according to the song is played, not to find a good sound).
SOUNDS
I have not really defined style (that's also why I have several amps ...), but when I look for her a little pop to radiohead, it fits perfectly.
I play telecaster with Japanese and it makes my time very well.
what I particularly like about this amp, it's clear round very dynamic, as opposed to fender, but very good too.
I also like when he starts to twist (although frank attacks causing distortion), the slight crunch is nice enough, but when pushed a little too much it becomes very aggressive, I personally am not a fan (note, alnico version that side loses a little aggressive and dry).
OVERALL OPINION
I own this amp for 6 months before I had a Blues Jr, so nice and I tried many of the small tubeys 15 Watts less than € 1000 (BJ, VC15, Tiny Terror, H & K edition tube, H & K statemen dual ...), that's played between the Blues Jr. and the AC15.
I love the bright vibrant, like her less when it is in the tab (too aggressive and inaccurate sec) and its inability to properly absorb the effects (especially the fuzz), I like not too much weight (but on the other hand it is because the wood is really not bad for an amp of this price).See less10 - El BrutoPublished on 01/11/09 at 14:17 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Everything has been said ...

SOUNDS
Is perfect for my musical style, rather rock, blues 70 '. In fact the clean sound is very clean, round, warm and ... serious! In fact I find the sound quite serious, even by lowering the EQ. Level crunch sounds, huge! Unfortunately, playing in an apartment, I do not have many opportunities to push the sound. Be aware that these 15W spit a lot! So the solution for crunch sounds in the apartment is the OD pedal (TS808).
I use this amp with an Epi LP on which I mounted burstbuckers Gibson, and there's a huuuuge! Especially saturated, of course. I also play with a Telecaster, and the sound of the single is well respected. In short, this amp is that good ... but, because there is always, or at least often, a safe ... the reverb! What I find really cavernous, infamous! Better to put at least one hook and reverb pedal, easier to adjust and more versatile, in addition to giving better sound! I put 10 not because of the reverb, it would be less for some, myself I use a pedal so it does not bother me that much, just the price of the amp it was entitled to have something better in terms of reverb. It is my humble opinion!
OVERALL OPINION
I have the Vox for over a year and I am completely satisfied. Look great, a rock legend in my apartment, a warm, fat when you can grow. A switch to divide the power by 2, to move to 7W for example, would be a great improvement, in addition to the reverb. But it's a beautiful beast! Of course, I will make the HP that I find a bit dull (it's not blue Clestion ...!), but less than € 600 it's still a great shot (a bit expensive, but hey, it a legend!)See less10 - willytarnoPublished on 02/27/09 at 14:38 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Everything t said ...
But again, I take a while prciser a 15W lamp is standard! In flat, j'me is yell at all times by the neighbors, it's pretty boring xD
There's only one jack, no effects loop or line out / headphone jack, playing with the gain can be a very nice crunch
UTILIZATION
The configuration of the amp is very simple, you plug it and it plays a rgal. From the first notes it was the sound crmeux, hot lights, a little flashy as a good old Start ', it's been two months that I have, and every day, I took more and more fun play on!

SOUNDS
I play a lot of blues, rock (srv, john mayer, radiohead, pink floyd ...) and it really happens has to have the sound you want. I use a scraper with Weston, who has a little over 20 years now, and a blues driver boss in two of the sound is very similar to SRV, just now I really bluff t I found a great config, I am hallucinating when j'me is a Texas Flood: D
As I said above, the amplifier brings out the Personal guitar, unlike my Marshall Valvestate 40w when j'branchais strat good 'or when a dung alba bought on ebay for about fifty euros, it sounded like ...
Even giving the guitar j'prend fun, so I'm fallen in love with this sound, light and very flashy, just great and yet I never jou a blue alnico
The included reverb is really good even though it may Adjustable: just turn the reverb knob a little and is ultra dja Submitted j'trouve. The trmolo is also very very nice
Noise level I would put much more than 10/10 so I redcouvert guitar through this amp!
OVERALL OPINION
IDAL is the amp, it is versatile (for the distortion type queen ca going really well for clear sound with a boost type TS9 / ca bd2 trooop going well too) it has a real rgal every time you turn it on. I pay 440 on a site nine English (dv247.fr) just before Christmas (and OH MY GOD IT IS A 550 on the same site today T_T I really made a good deal T_T)
I test a peavey classic 30, fender hot road and frankly it's the one that I fell in love, I would do without the choice hsiterSee less20 - John Michael

SOUNDS
I play mainly electric blues-Starring: Strato, Telecaster, G & L Asat Classic (Tele), Gibson es330, SG61 Reissue Gibson, Cort Yorktown.
In clear or very clear, we finally got the sounds of 60's super crystalline (Shadows, Otis Redding ...) including the famous "quack!" Hyper metal mark the measurement in the old ballads deRythm & Blues (not the "Arreunbii "true" Rizeum Blouz en). The interaction of Bass and Treble controls are strong and can with this simple duo, used sparingly, combinations house not encountered on other amps, other than using a multiband equalizer steep. The sound is crunchy to perfection means the glass lamps, and severe saturated, we obtain a compression very original, a little dirty, with very nice natural sustain.
Beware, it is damn noise! The neighbors do not necessarily enjoy.
The tremolo is excellent. The poor mechanical reverb, but easy to tweak or replace it with something more convincing.
OVERALL OPINION
I have been a week with him, but I was expecting (unknowingly) a long time. I also use a small vox transistors 15W (relevant for transport and repetitions, and its tones) and a Studiotone Koch, who is excellent and very versatile, but that does not reproduce the sound of that damn Vox AC15 .
Some argue that the old AC15 original was better. Chepe, I have not had a chance to try it. And at a price where opportunities are available, it is not tomorrow the day before. In all cases, less good or not, it is a great amp, very typical, that respects incredibly sound guitars. Try it, especially if you have a very good guitar.See less30
