Vox AC-15 HW1X - 2021

Here is a VOX Hand-Wired Series amplifier, a flagship expression of VOX craftsmanship and tonal design, built to deliver one of the purest and most refined sounds in the brand’s history. Designed without compromise, the Hand-Wired Series showcases meticulous turret board hand-wiring, a labour-intensive technique that requires exceptional skill and results in a beautifully constructed signal path with minimal loss and maximum clarity.

Every component in the signal chain has been carefully selected and paired in an ideal configuration, including tubes, transformers, speakers, chassis, and custom VOX parts, all working together to produce a rich, dynamic, and highly expressive tonal response. The result is a truly premium all-tube amplifier that delivers the full depth, harmonic complexity, and musical responsiveness expected from a top-tier VOX design.

While rooted in classic VOX heritage, this series also introduces modern functionality to meet the demands of contemporary players. It offers a wide range of tonal versatility, making it suitable for diverse musical styles and performance environments, from clean chiming textures to naturally driven breakup. The half-power option adds further flexibility, allowing players to achieve signature VOX saturation and sparkle at more manageable volume levels, ideal for both stage and home use.

This model features a single 12” Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, a highly regarded choice known for its articulate highs, warm midrange, and classic British character. Combined with the fawn finish, it not only sounds exceptional but also presents a timeless visual aesthetic.
