The sound of a great Vox tube amp is one of the 10 wonders of the world
for guitarists, but until recently that experience has come with a
relatively hefty price. A few years ago the situation started to change
for the better when Vox developed some exciting new models that offered
classic Vox tones at prices that weren’t out of reach to most players.
Vox’s
new Custom series continues this welcome trend by providing classic Vox
tones and pro features in fully gig-worthy amps that cost about what
you’d expect to shell out for a basic entry-level amp. Interestingly,
the new Custom series AC30C2 features a simpler design that does away
with the various switches found on its previous (and currently
discontinued) Custom Classic counterpart, while the Custom series AC15C1
expands upon the features and versatility of its Custom Classic brother
by adding a Normal channel and a master Tone Cut control. The new
models also come stock with Celestion Greenback speakers, which replace
the Wharfedale speakers and the more expensive optional Celestion Alnico
Blues.
The addition of a Normal channel and a tone cut control
brings the AC15C1 closer to the classic AC30 Top Boost model than its
previous incarnation. With its 15-watt output and single 12-inch
speaker, the AC15C1 is like a mini AC30 that’s ideal for small club gigs
and recording.
Like an AC30, the AC15C1 includes a very
cool tremolo circuit with speed and depth controls. Unlike an AC30, the
amp also features built-in spring reverb with a level control. The
tremolo and reverb effects are in the master section, so they are
applied to both channels, and you can engage or disengage each effect
separately with an optional footswitch. An external speaker jack with an
8/16-ohm impedance selector automatically disconnects the internal
speaker when you connect an external speaker cabinet, while the
extension speaker jack keeps the internal speaker functioning when you
plug in an additional cab.
