First introduced in 1958, the AC15 combo
has been the amp of choice for countless guitar players
throughout the world. Drawing on more than 50 years of
amp-building expertise, the AC15C1 Custom Series offers
maximum tonal dexterity
An Evolution in Tone
VOX Custom Series amps offer two channels: Normal and
Top-Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume
control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive
Treble and Bass tone controls. This powerful channel
pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control,
letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your
own.
Both channels rely
on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section.
The Tone Cut control operates
in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing
an additional degree of tone-shaping. The Master Volume
control works in conjunction with the individual volumes
of each channel to create just the right degree of gain-staging.
By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Custom
Series can deliver everything from a clean VOX "chimey" sound
to a powerful overdriven tone.
Sound in Motion
You can sweeten the sound of your Custom Series amplifier
using the VOX Classic Tremolo effect. Both the speed
and the depth are adjustable, allowing you to generate
just the sound you want. A warm Spring Reverb is also
included on all Custom Series amps, adding spaciousness
to the sound. All Custom Series amps can use the VOX
VFS2 footswitch, allowing you to turn the Reverb and
Tremolo effects on and off as you continue to play.
Power Sharing
The AC15C1 combo makes use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes
and uses pair of EL84 tubes to drive a single 12" Celestion
G12M Greenback. All models in the Custom Series offer
a switchable 8/16 ohm output jack for powering an external
speaker cabinet when you need to speak with a little
more authority; using this jack will mute the internal
speakers. Additionally, a 2nd extension speaker jack
allows you to run an extra 16 ohm cabinet along with
the internal speakers for a fuller sound.
