Why Choose the VOX AC15HW1X?
For tone purists who demand the absolute authentic sound of 1960s British amplification, standard printed circuit board amplifiers often miss the mark. VOX built the AC15HW1X using traditional hand-wired turret board construction, entirely bypassing printed circuit traces to ensure the purest possible signal path. Paired with a prized Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, this amplifier produces sparkling highs, rich mids, and a warm, responsive low-end punch that reacts dynamically to your every touch.
