Vox AC-15 HW1X - 2021

From Vox:

'There may never have been an amp boasting such a lofty and pure sound in the entire history of VOX. The VOX Hand-Wired Series relies on the painstaking technique of turret board hand-wiring – a method requiring a high level of skill and craftsmanship – is used, resulting in wiring that’s beautiful in its artistry, ensuring an efficient signal path with minimal loss and no restriction in amplitude. In the Hand-Wired Series, tubes, transformers, speakers, chassis, and custom parts all join together in an ideal state to deliver the richest and most powerful sonic experience – the ultimate amp. Not bound by tradition, the VOX Hand-Wired Series also provides a variety of new functions that keep pace with the needs of today’s artists. Offering a rich variety of tonal shadings and a broad model lineup, the enormous potential of the VOX Hand-Wired Series will reveal itself in any musical scenario.'

This amp is in as new condition. It has not been used and shows no sign of any wear and tear.  

The workmanship in the construction and internal wiring of this amp is top quality. In essence, this is a classic British amp constructed primarily from English supplied components and built in Asia to extremely high standards of quality control. Each amp in the HW series must be inspected and certified to meet the benchmarks of Vox UK. 

It is a true all-tube tone machine, deliciously Vox in every way. The half power option is a nice touch, so you can achieve that sweet Vox breakup and chiminess without overpowering the band or upsetting the neighbours (too much). The single 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speaker sounds fabulous, and it sure looks the part in its nice fawn finish.  

This is basically a new amp, never used, and at a substantial discount to new price. 

Comes with its fitted cover, and single button footswitch.
