Vox AC15HWR1 Hand-Wired

VOX AC15HWR1 Hand-Wired – Classic VOX tone with a more powerful and midrange-focused expression
The AC15HWR1 Hand-Wired Greenback version takes the legendary AC15 amplifier to a new level. With hand-wired construction and vintage-correct circuit design, the classic AC15 character is preserved—now complemented by a Celestion Greenback speaker that provides warmer midrange, earlier breakup, and a clearer, more focused attack.

The model combines the iconic copper panel design of the 1960s with modern features such as master volume, transparent FX loop, and tube-driven spring reverb. The result is an amplifier with authentic British tone, but with increased control and reliability. Perfect for guitarists who want tighter bass, fuller mids, and natural overdrive at reasonable volumes.
