Was not expecting it to sound this good. I own a Marshall DSL 40C, and a Fender 68 Deluxe Reverb, and this amp is definitely nicer than I was expecting. Doesn't do metal, but it does everything else. Sounds great clean, and has that clean to close to break up sound mastered. I like the stock speak in it, so not going to swap that out. Really surprised by the blues tones coming out of it. Texas Blues no problem. If you like SRV, this is your amp for sure, without pedals. I am now officially a Vox fan. Was hesitant to buy a Vox from all the online reviews, because the sound just was not coming through the computer speakers. Got a good deal on this red beauty and took the leap, and if this was my only amp, I would be fine. Have a 10 band EQ I run into it, and the sound only gets better. I used to own a Fender Blues Junior III, and although that is not a bad amp, it is not in the same class as the Vox AC15C. The Vox does not sound boxy, has reverb and tremolo, is two channel, and gets you that great blues tone at low volumes without pedals. Highly recommend to beginners and experienced players. Should have bought this amp before the others.Read full review

Bought the amp somewhat impulsively, even though I did check some reviews. If I'd had my choice I wouls like to A/B it against the AC15 HW.... I tried it at home first with varying combinations of Guitars. Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker to name a few. My go to overdrive is a Hermida Zendrive. So I threw that in and out of the mix. Ok, time to play....I like P90's, and Humbuckers with this amp. I didn't care for the Fenders as much. The Rick (620) seemed a little anemic. I noticed there was a little higher pitched buzzy sound. I started checking the forums, a little worried. It seems that most of the gripes about the sound that were familiar to what I was hearing were resolved by going to an Alnico Blue Speaker replacement( can be pricey, but less expensive models are available)....I haven't tried it yet! But I think I eventually will after some break in time this speaker. We'll see.... Another big recommendation were swapping all the tubes with JJ's as most people preferred. This was a common thing on the forums. OK....I'll try it. Anyways , I took it to a gig to give it a go, and I loved it! Gibson LP/P90s and my Zendrive....sheesh that little amp stomped a Blues Deluxe for tone, volume etc. n the minus side...I plugged in my Clapton Strat as well.....still not lovin it. Bottom Line....I wanna like this amp...I think I will too, after trying some non destructive amp mods mentioned. I couldn't beat the price I was offered....oh yeah....it's kinda heavy too. I give it a C+ with lots of potential. Probably woulda bought the AC15 HW if I wanted to really go for it. We'll see.... Read full review

Up front I have been playing for over 35 years and have owned many, many amps..some good.. some well, let's say I am glad they are gone. One of those I let go was Vox AC15CC1. It was OK but even with speaker changes and all the mods made it was still, middy, 1 dimensional and not exciting. The new AC15C1 however, is a real gem. The new construction in and out (MDF aside ...dont make a big deal of of MDF.. it is OK)is excellent and the Celestion Greenback along with the new circuitry is a winner. I presently own a Divided by 13 SJT 10/20, Orange AD15, Stulze, Egnater Rebel/Tweaker, this new Vox and others. This is really a great amp and keeps great company with these and other amps. Works well with a USTele and also a Gretsch 6128 and the new design takes pedals really well. The top cut is ideal for taming those nasty overdrive/disto pedals. You can tie the Normal and Top Boost channels together and blend them for a great sound. I made all of the mods for "bright cap" etc, but in the end I took them out as this amp is just fine stock. Even the Chinese tubes sound good. (I tried JJ's and then Mullards in the ouput and settled on the JJ's across the board but the China's are very good). Compared to my $$$$ Divided by 13, this amp is an INCREDIBLE value. Vox is going to sell a million of these....Read full review
I purchased this amp after hours of pouring into weighing my pros and cons and options. Fender or vox. Ac4 or ac15 or ac30. I went with the ac15 after what seemed to be the best choice, and maybe it was. Amp sounds very good compared to the modeling amp o had prior. No doubt. After owning for a week I had an very noticeable power tube vibration noise. The eBay dealer paid for a new set of tubes for me thankfully and that took care of that noise. I also get more noise than I would like with the amp turned half way up and nothing plugged in. Not unbearable but more than I expected - and much more than the fender bass breaker I tried. If I could go back I would buy the fender for quality reasons but now I own the vox ac15 and it's not bad enough to sell so I will live with it and it is "okay". Research online shows a lot of similar noise problems. Didnt know that till after I bought it. Read full review

This Vox amp, with one 12-inch speaker and 15 watts, is the perfect size for home use. The sound from my Gretsch Country Gentleman, and even more so, my Rickenbacker 12 string is wonderful. On opening the box, I got a strong smell of tobacco smoke. Over the course of 10 days or so, the smell gradually disappeared.
