This is the standard version without the Blue Bulldog. Two volume, treble ,bass, reverb and tremelo. No boast or channel switching here.

Sound Quality : 8
I tried this with a Les Paul and a tele. It seems a bit on the thin side with a tele. I ended up with the treble off. I hooked it up to a Vintage 30 and it sounded a bit better. I have a Blue bulldog but have not hooked it up yet. I don't care for the reverb unless your doing Ventures or surf music. The footswitch for the reverb and tremelo seem ok. Contruction looks ok. Tube access is poor. Seems to break up nicely when cranked. The price is ok on this amp.

I've been playing professionally for over 30 years. I have many amps. Not sure if I will keep it or not yet. I keep trying other stuff and going back to old Fender amps.

It is what it is. Reverb and tremolo added over original models from the 60's, plus a master volume. Very simple amp.

Sound Quality : 4
I was disappointed. Pretty thin sound really, and you can only run the pre-volume to about 10/11 as others have stated, after that it fizzes out to a nasty snarl. Tried on both single coils and hummers. Same result. Reverb is just bad. Kind of in the background. Should have left it out. Tremolo is good however, how many songs do you really use tremolo for except the occasional CCR cover? Just have to say I was disappointed overall. For $600, you can get a much better amp.

Reliability : No Opinion
Don't know, brought it back too soon. Worked fine for the week I had it.

Customer Support : No Opinion
No idea.

Spend a little more and get a vintage Vox, or as some others have said, go after the British made models. The Chinese are getting better everyday at making gear, but it's still in the infantile stage and the mass production factor really shows on alot of the gear right now. You really don't have to pay much more than $600 to get a much better amp out there. I was disappointed, because I really liked the old Vox amp sound I once had, and this ain't it. It hints at it, but it should nail it.

This is a 2006 model AC15 Custom Classic 15 watt amp from Vox. It has a single Vox 12 inch custom speaker. This is an all tube amp. I comes equiped with 2 EL84 power tubes and 2 12AX7 preamp tubes. This is a very versatile amp for the styles of music that I play. (Blues, Classic rock). It is a single channel amp with a volume and a master volume control. It comes with a footswitch for the onboard tremelo and reverb. It also has a line out so hooking up a cab is no problem. The only option I wish that it had would be a boost control other than that it has everything I need. I use this amp at home and it has plenty of power (this is tube 15 watts!!!)

Sound Quality : 10
I use a standard Fender Strat with Mightymite single coils. For the style of music that I play this amp sounds fantastic. If you are a metal head look elsewhere this does not do high gain but a rich, creamy tube overdrive. This is a very quiet amp. I used to own a Fender Blues Jr. that was very noisy. This amp barely makes a sound. It does hum a little when both volumes are pegged. With the two volume controls and the bass and top boost you can get an amazing variety of sounds. The clean is very clean, you get that Vox chime. When you crank up the volume you get a nice tube crunch.

Reliability : No Opinion
This amp is very solidly built. I feel I could depend on it and I would gig with it without a backup. I have only had the ampa short while so I can't really talk about the reliablility but I have had other Vox products and they were very reliable.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Have not had to deal with customer support.

I ahve been playing for about 5 years. If this amp were lost or stolen I would run right out and buy another. I really love everything about it. Vox has been doing things right. Compared to other 15 watt tube amps this one is heads and tails above the others. If you like the sound of an all tube amp and you are looking for low power but this amp.

Had to try this since it was reissued. Most of the same features on paper but they replaced vintage toggle switches with cheap plastic ones. Also has only one input.

Sound Quality : 7
I have been playing for 25 years all styles of post modern rock. Playing a Less Paul Gold top now. Sounds close to the Korg TBX but not quite as warm and musical. Also the control panel just doesn't look as good.

NA

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never tried

Overall Rating : 7
Sounds fine but again the Korg TBX rules. If you can find one of those I would pay the little extra more to get the original

It is one channel - tremelo - reverb - standy-by - 15 watt 12" combo - made in China - mine has the Blue Celestion speaker upgrade - makes a huge difference in tone. 2 el84 power tubes and 2 12ax7 pre-amp tubes. A footswitch to turn on and off the tremelo and reverb is included - I gave it a rating of 10 in this catagory because this type of amp normally does not have many features other than tone. It is heavy (50lbs) for a 15 watt amp so be prepaired.

Sound Quality : 10
I use a '59 reissue Les Paul, a Les Paul DC classic and a 335 through this amp and the tone is to die for - very careful settings are important to getting the right tone out of this amp. If you crank it up to 10 to see how it wails , you may be disappointed. A little too much gain and the tone washes out in my opinion. I usually set the gain around the 10 o'clock position and then set the overall volume from there. If you get just the right setting for the guitar that you are using the tone is outstanding. Completely different from Fender or Marshall tone - the amp is nice and quiet - I replaced the tubes right away with Mullard 12ax7s and some kind of vintage GT el84s and that has improved the tone as well.

Reliability : 10
While I had the amp apart for the tube change I looked around inside and the amp seems solid and well built - I ran it for a week straight when I got it to see if it would blow up (it didn't)- traditionally Vox amps have had reliability issues and these new Chinese ones may be the same or better. Time will tell though. I have had Marshall, Fender and Tophat amps that blew up right away. I hope this one works - I'll rate it a 10 for now

Customer Support : 10
The amp carries a one year warranty - Fender has a 5 year warranty on their amps these days and thats a great warranty - I did email Korg a couple of times for some information and they replied within a day both times so I think customer support is OK - I know Fender has NO support. Based on my limited experience with Korg I give a 10

Overall Rating : 10
To be honest I have two other Vox amps and I love the Vox tone so I am probably a little biased towards Vox - it is important to get an alnico magnet Celestion speaker in your Vox , whatever Vox you may have. Thats a big part of the secret to Vox tone.

Well It is the New Vox AC15CC1. I play alt rock and got tired of my old Silver Face Twin Reverb so I went out an bought this amp.
You can find the features for this amp anywhere so I won't write them down.

Sound Quality : 10
The sound is great on this amp I use my Fender Strat (with SRV picups in it) And my Gibson Les Paul Double Cut. My style is much like a Brit-Rock feel to it so the amp works great for it. You can get much variety on this amp you just have to play with it for a little while. I'm very very impressed with the Clean sounds you get with it it is very much to me a bell like sound to it very clear. But with distortion it sounds very good as well. (not sure if this amp is for every one ie.. Slipknot ect... )

Reliability : No Opinion
Can't really say much on the reliability on this amp yet. BUt I have used it for about 10 hrs and no problem yet.
When I was doing the reserch on this amp I noticed that the Vox AC-30CC1 had alot of problems with it. I did ask sweetwater and American Musical Supply did they correct them and it seems that they did.
The only problem is that the tubes are hard to get too.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never Delt With them. But Korg is a big company so I'm sure they are hard to deal with

Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing for 10 years I have My Les Paul Double Cut, Fender Strat, Some Ibanez that I use for slide work and My Martin For amps I use my 1970 Fender Silver Face Twin. It really does sound good with all of these differnt guitars. If it was stolen I would go and buy a new one.
The only thing you really need to know about this amp if you are looking into buy one is that the amp is VERY HEAVY. so it is kinda hard to move around with but other than that its a great amp.

pretty basic amp 1 channel volume and gain 12" wareldale speaker

Sound Quality : 10

I play a 335 thru it and it sounds soo good.best sounding amp (for me)out there.i also own a fender 1967 blackface and this this sounds so much better.It has that chimmy shimmery vox sound you cant get any where else.very clean with that nice vox crunch.

Reliability : 1

here is where the problem occurs.had the amp for less than a week and started hearing this pinging sound thought it was the reverb tank(not)the next day went to play thru it and it just shut down on me.i have returned it and am hoping it was just a lemon.ive ordered another one so only time will tell.Ive owned vox amps in the past and have never had a problem with them (t60,pathfinder)

took it back and are sending me a new one.

Overall Rating : 5
best sounding amp ive ever played thru(personal opinion)iv'e played or owned badcat's matchless,mesa,dr z,peavy,fender and traynor.none sounded as sweet as this amp.i am concerned about the reliability of this amp though.it should not have shut down on me after a week of playing.Im gonna give vox another chance hopefully the next amp will last.i know these are made in china now and they have cut corners to save the consumer money. but regardless of how sweet an amp sounds if you cant depend on it to gig with it's useless.
