"Wow. Just wow."

(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have a $2000 custom-built boutique amp that I love...but had I purchased this one first, I wouldn't have the other one.
Sound
Vox charm, Vox chime. Doesn't get much better than this. But, go for the Celestion "Blue" speaker. It's well worth the investment.
Features
Tubes, preamp volume and tone stack controls, master volume, reverb, and trem. Don't need anything else from an amp.
Ease of Use
Simple.
Quality
Looks beautiful and appears to be very well built. Haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability.
Value
Great sounds, decent price. Really loving this amp.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to contact anyone. Web site appears to provide all the info you could ever want from Vox.
The Wow Factor
Classic style, looks so warm and inviting. I just can't wait to turn it on and start playing.

No reason to replace this amp at all. If something were to happen to it I will have secound, so there would be no problem..
Sound
there is nothing else at this price range that comes close to the fab sound of this english valve sound and with top boost with spring reverb and tremlo mix knob. Get this amp and you will keep it for aslong as you play.
Features
the foot switch is solid. with a light, it comes with a good cord as well. The AC cord is is of solid thicker cable.
Ease of Use
the amp can give the sound that it was made for, and than more than you may think, that great marahall glass sound to thr top bost romble. I plan to get another one to play in stereo. I just can't wait to hear it than,
Quality
IT all looks great, I hope it holds up as great as it looks.
Value
The price is fare, but it's about $100.00 to much. IF it came with a cover it would ease up the extra 100.00
The Wow Factor
Good easy set up. It should come in red or purple. It's no technical wiz, but this amp does not need io be at all, wheels could be a great add on. A cover is must. don't mess up a great amp buy adding on stupic

"Great Vox Bargain!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
This is the least expensive (and a bargain!) of any Vox all tube combo amp available today. I compared it to its big brother, the AC30, and while the AC30 offers more tone contour, I just couldn't justify the price difference (or the size and weight). If you want more EQ control and volume, go for the AC30. But I find, for my needs and experience, that this marvelous little AC15CC is all I need.
Sound
I've been playing for 40 + years, and back in the 60s, after I was up and running in numerous popular bands, Vox was always my choice (owned a Vox Guardsman, Bristol and Super Beatle). To my ears, that Vox sound has never been matched. A creamy, dreamy, rich full sound that no other amp offers (and I've owned or played thru most of them). From beautiful spacious cleans to a nice tube overdrive (via the Top Boost volume setting), this tube combo offers that 1960s sound that only it's cousin, the AC30, can match. Extremely responsive to pick attack. No mid setting in the EQ, but very interactive bass and treble settings. Set the master volume higher, and the Top Boost at abt 12:00 for that unbeatable Vox clean sound...back the master volume off and crank the top boost for a smooth, fatter tube break-up. Hey, it sounds like a Vox. If you know that sound, nuff said. Shredders and heavy metal-heads will be surprised at what this combo can do with a nice distortion or tube overdrive pedal.
Features
The AC15 comes w a lighted foot pedal for turning reverb and tremolo off and on. This is a very simple amp to use. Master volume, tremolo depth and speed, universal spring reverb, bass and treble EQ and top boost volume (gain). That's it. The Vox tube sound in its purest form. It would be nice if the foot pedal included switching for top boost, but it doesn't, so I give it a 9 for features.
Ease of Use
Couldn't be easier to use. Only panel controls are mentioned above. Be sure to play w the interaction of Master volume and top boost volume, as well as the bass and treble EQ. Again, if you want that Vox sound, this is a beauty!
Quality
I have never had a problem w Vox amps over the years, and so far no problem w this one (after about 6 months of owning it). Very sturdy build, quality control is the best. I no longer play out or record, but if you gig w this amp (or any tube amp), replacement tubes are always a must (and, I must admit, the tubes in the AC15 are not that easy to get to). I expect this amp will last longer than I do. Take CARE of it, and it will take care of you.
Value
Are you kidding!? $599 for the latest edition of a Vox classic? The best tube combo out there for the $, bar none!
Manufacturer Support
Although I've never had to use Vox support for any problem, I can only imagine that, as everything w Vox, the support would be outstanding.
The Wow Factor
It looks like an original Vox (ah, the memories), w the diamond grill cloth, and, to me, that's the best look any amp has ever had! The controls are simple and the sound is that pure Vox sound. You either like it or you don't. No other amp can, or has ever, reproduced that Vox sound.
