![]() ![]() I bought a new VOX AC15C1 recently, and was disappointed to discover that the reverb was inoperative right out of the box. ![]() Would appreciate your opinions on whether this new VOX AC15C1 is more noisy than a tube amp ought to be. I'll leave the rest of the post as is, along with comments to capture any wisdom here. Removing the amplifier from that room however, and plugging into grounded outlets elsewhere in the house, reduced the buzzing to an almost inaudible, and certainly acceptable, level. Not, mind you the particular outlet I was plugged into, because different outlets in that room that I know to be connected to different circuits, and into different breakers, each induced the buzzing. so, I've wiped the egg off my face, and can now let the few readers who've shown probably more interest and helpfulness than I deserved, that after another trip to the service center and more testing at home, I have concluded that the buzzing noise apparently emanating from the reverb unit into the power section was induced by the room I was playing in. Additionally, a 2nd extension speaker jack allows you to run an extra 16 ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound. All models in the Custom Series offer a switchable 8/16 ohm output jack for powering an external speaker cabinet when you need to speak with a little more authority using this jack will mute the internal speakers. You can choose either the AC15C1 with a Celestion G12M Greenback speaker or the AC15C1X loaded with a Celestion Alinco Blue speaker. The AC15C1 combo makes use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and uses pair of EL84 tubes to drive a single 12" Celestion speaker. All Custom Series amps can use the VOX VFS2 footswitch, allowing you to turn the Reverb and Tremolo effects on and off as you continue to play. A warm Spring Reverb is also included on all Custom Series amps, adding spaciousness to the sound. Both the speed and the depth are adjustable, allowing you to generate just the sound you want. ![]() You can sweeten the sound of your Custom Series amplifier using the VOX Classic Tremolo effect. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Custom Series can deliver everything from a clean VOX "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain-staging. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone-shaping. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.īoth channels rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. VOX Custom Series amps offer two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Drawing on more than 50 years of amp-building expertise, the AC15C1 Custom Series offers maximum tonal dexterity. First introduced in 1958, the AC15 combo has been the amp of choice for countless guitar players throughout the world. ![]()
