Vox AC15C1 with Celestion Greenback rocks!
Mike from Northern, Vermont
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I appears well built and for a small 15 watt amp weighs in at 48lbs. This is built in China under strict supervision by VOX of Britain Engineering. It is a quality built amp!
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've only had this about 1 month but so far only a small initial problem with the reverb not working due to a loose connection likely caused by shipping which I fixed myself.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
This is the best amp for the money in this price range! This is the reissue Vox classic AC15C1 with a 12" Celestion Greenback speaker that has that chimey fender like clean and that British overdrive that everyone yearns for in a tube amp! Got a great deal here at American Musical with free accessories!!!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
The reviews on this amp is typically 5 stars with the occasional it doesn't compete with the handwired vox AC15. Well of course not, it sells for almost 3 times the price of the AC15C1.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
British bite and chimey clean at any volume = pure tube utopia! I have a Gibson Les Paul and a Fender Strat and both guitars sound incredible through this amp. Buy it you will not be disappointed!
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The cabinet finish is excellent and has that classic vox diamond grill cloth with a metal gold VOX name plate. This is an impressive looking amp.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
All controls and switches appear to be high quality and work smooth with no noise.

This amp is for clean tone or with an overdrive pedal in front. Everything cranked it can be hissy due to the vintage circuitry. Nice clean that warms up with simple controls.

Your general opinion of this product.
This is a proffesional quality amp for a hobbyist price. I prefered the 60th aniversery HW , with the EF86 channel, but this is a perfect (sounding)coppy of the early and mid 60's JMI "VOX" amps. Im very glad I bought it.

Just got it... It seems to me to be well built... has that new amp smell too ;-)

Tone per buck... there is no comparison in my book. I don't want/need lots of headroom so a 15W amp is plenty for me.

I think this is geared toward guitars but amps definitely have a feel. I'd say it feels very tight and punchy right out the box - better than the tube rectified handwired models, they are a bit more spongy but sometimes that is nice. I like the top boost channel better on this amp... just seems tighter and fuller.

What do you want? It has it if you aren't looking for a slash and shed machine... if you are don't get a tube Vox... for the rest of us it's a beauty!

Though it is made in China, do not think that should be a reason to write this one off. The sound is great, and have not heard of a great deal of complaints, esp. with the AC's with the Celestion Greenback speaker in it. The Wharfdales, have heard slightly less glowing reviews.

Have not had it out on gig (yet), but appears sturdy enough.

Your general opinion of this product.
Had been messing around with finally getting a valve amp. Narrowed decision down to Vox AC 15 and Fender Blues Junior. Tone on this one just grabbed me, just had "it".
