Classic Tone and Construction
Housed in a rugged enclosure featuring iconic VOX styling—including basket-weave vinhyde, brown diamond grill cloth, gold string, and white piping—the AC15CC1 balances vintage aesthetics with robust build quality. At its heart, the amplifier utilizes a traditional all-tube circuit, providing the dynamic responsiveness and rich harmonic content that VOX is famous for.

- Onboard Effects: Features high-quality spring reverb and traditional tremolo, both of which can be toggled via the included two-button VF002 footswitch.
- Master Volume Control: Allows players to achieve the signature "pushed" tube sound at manageable volume levels, making it ideal for both studio recording and small-to-medium club stages.
Speaker Configuration
The AC15CC1 is equipped with a single 12-inch 16-ohm VOX Wharfedale speaker, specifically designed to emulate the tonal profile of the iconic "green-backed" speakers used throughout VOX’s history from the 70s through the 90s.
