Vox AC15 Custom (AC15C1) All-Tube Guitar Amplifier

The Vox AC15 Custom is one of the most storied guitar amplifiers ever made — a 15-watt, all-tube combo that has been shaping the sound of rock, pop, blues, and beyond for nearly 60 years. From the British Invasion studios of the 1960s to modern stages worldwide, the AC15 remains the benchmark for warm, dynamic, touch-sensitive tube tone. Now available at Town Center Music in Suwanee, the AC15 Custom (AC15C1) delivers everything that has made this amplifier legendary, paired with the build quality and feature set a modern working guitarist demands.

All-Tube EL84 Power Section

At the core of the AC15 Custom is an all-tube circuit driven by EL84 power tubes — the same valve topology that gave British amplifiers their distinctive voice in the early days of rock and roll. EL84s are known for their musical, harmonically rich compression as they approach breakup, producing a natural, responsive overdrive that reacts directly to your pick attack and guitar volume control in a way that no solid-state or digital circuit can fully replicate. Whether you want sparkling, chiming clean tones at lower volumes or that pushed, slightly broken-up character at moderate levels, the AC15 Custom responds to how you play — and rewards nuanced, dynamic playing in ways that make you a better guitarist.

Normal and Top Boost Channels

The AC15 Custom features two independent input channels: the Normal channel, which delivers the warm, slightly darker vintage Vox voice, and the Top Boost channel, which adds dedicated Bass and Treble EQ controls for a brighter, more articulate tone with added midrange presence. Both channels are routed through the same output section and speaker, and many players run them simultaneously using a Y-cable to blend the character of each for a uniquely layered sound. A Master Volume and Master Tone Cut control give you global output control without sacrificing tonal response.

Celestion G12M Greenback Speaker

The AC15C1 is loaded with a single 12-inch Celestion G12M Greenback speaker — one of the most respected guitar speakers ever made. The Greenback delivers a warm, musical midrange with natural compression at higher volumes, making it a perfect sonic match for the AC15's EL84 power section. The result is a cohesive, immediately recognizable voice that rewards both clean playing and driven tones. For players who prefer the warmer, more complex character of an Alnico magnet speaker, the AC15C1X variant ships with a Celestion Alnico Blue — the speaker most closely associated with the original Vox sound of the 1960s.

Footswitchable Spring Reverb and Tremolo

The AC15 Custom comes equipped with onboard spring reverb and classic Vox tremolo, both footswitchable via the optional VFS2 footswitch. The spring reverb adds depth and dimension to your tone — from subtle room ambience to lush, surf-ready wash. The tremolo circuit offers independent Depth and Speed controls, delivering the vintage, rhythmic pulsing that defined the Vox sound on countless recordings of the 1960s. Having both effects built in means less pedalboard real estate and fewer cables on stage.

Built for the Stage, Refined for the Modern Player

At 15 watts into a 16-ohm load, the AC15 Custom hits a sweet spot for a wide range of live situations. It is loud enough to hold its own in smaller venues, rehearsal rooms, and recording sessions, while still producing great tones at manageable volume levels. An external speaker output lets you expand your setup when the room demands more. At 23.70 x 10.43 x 17.95 inches and 48.5 lbs, it is portable enough for regular gigging without sacrificing the substantial build quality you expect from a true tube combo.
