Vox AC15C1X 15W 1x12" Alnico Blue Tube Guitar Combo Amp
The Vox AC15C1X is a 15-watt tube guitar amp, in a 1 × 12" combo fitted with a Celestion Alnico Blue speaker. It's the AC15 Custom in its most sought-after version: the same two-channel circuit, but with the alnico-magnet speaker Vox keeps for its "X" models.
What sets it apart
- 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speaker
- Normal and Top Boost channels
- Reverb and tremolo, footswitchable
- EL84 power tubes
- Tone Cut and master volume
- External and extension speaker jacks
What the "X" changes
The Vox manual puts it simply: every AC Custom gets a Celestion G12M Greenback, except the AC15C1X and AC30C2X, which get a Celestion Alnico Blue. The circuit, controls and format are those of the AC15C1; the speaker makes all the difference.
On stage and in the studio
The Top Boost channel, with its interactive bass and treble, delivers the AC15's chiming clean; the Normal channel thickens as you turn it up. The master volume lets you drive the preamp while keeping a sensible level. An optional VFS2A footswitch turns on reverb and tremolo.
On the back, the EXTENSION jack adds a 16 Ω cabinet, and the EXTERNAL jack replaces the internal speaker.
