The Vox AC15 Hand-Wired is a valve combo that reconstructs the 1963 'copper panel' original with painstaking circuit analysis and period-accurate components. Driven by a pair of EL84 power valves, this 15-watt amp recreates the phase inverter distortion and voltage sag that defined classic British rock tone. Hand-wired turret board construction, a custom-wound output transformer, and a 12mm birch ply cabinet mirror the electrical behaviour and resonance of the '60s archetype.
Two channels provide tonal range: the Normal channel with Bright switch, and the Top Boost channel with independent Treble, Bass, and Volume controls. A unique Boost switch increases gain and adds rich midrange overdrive exclusive to this model. Modern additions include a bypass-able master volume, transparent effects loop, and custom-voiced spring reverb. The 12-inch Celestion Alnico Blue speaker delivers the warmth and bell-like chime heard on countless recordings. Power circuit design replicates vintage compression and sustain while maintaining low-noise operation.
