Today I'm checking out the Vox AC-15. I've tried the AC-4 and the AC-10, and I liked both, so this is promising. It comes with one Celestion Greenback, and isn't TOO pricey (although it's not cheap, even for a valve amp). We're in Brian May territory now.
Hope you enjoy!

Late comment I know, but one weird thing I noticed with the AC15 is that the channels interact with each other. So if youâre plugged into the normal channel and have top boost channel volume up (or vice-versa), thatâs probably whatâs causing the weird resonance and hiss youâre hearing. Youâll want the volume on the channel youâre not using to be rolled all the way off.

Fender's classic designs don't have FX loops either, just run delays into the front just like us old school cats did for decades.

I just love strat and Vox combination

I love the Vox AC 30 very warm sounding amp very simular to how marshalls used to sound . I dont know why heavy rock players dont use it more. It's incredible warm and the overdrive is smooth and capable of very heavy guitar times.

The worlds greatest exponent of delay plugs his guitar straight into the front of his AC30. No FX loop required.

Thank you for checking out my amp ! As you put more time on it, the harshness does go away. Also, my amp doesn't have the hiss that yours did. As for the set up, I only use the normal channel. I set the master volume way up, around 3/4, and control the overall volume with the channel volume. You get a much thicker sound when you're working the power tubes. Also, turn the volume on the top boost channel all the way up. Even though you're not using it, there's crosstalk between the two channels. The EQ section on the Top Boost will now affect the normal channel. You can get a lot of great tones by doing this.

Thanks for showing us how you play instead of how the amp sounds, by the way. Also, overstating the lack of an FX Loop. That was highly appreciated. I looked mine, and was shocked and outraged.
That's why I've been running my pedals through the front end of my AC15! Happy Shredding.

Nice video. Teet fantastista työtÀ! (I hope I spelled that right...)
I have to say, I would love to hear you doing your amazing solos, out of all kinds of rigs you own back to back !

I believe one reason for reviews like this is they also tell us what the product DOESNâT have. Unlike the manufacturer. Thatâs important stuff. Thank you very much for this, professor. đđ»(By the way, I love VOX amps, so no hard feelings toward them, either.)

Just a little note, if you live in a place that gets really hot and you leave it in the heat for 2 hours or so, the handle will soften and mold into a different shape.

This amp is SO robust. Total breadwinner

Thinking of getting one so this was very helpful. Thanks for the review. In the spirit of reviews, I'd like to give the jean shorts a 10/10.

You make that thing sound great !

Never used a Vox amp. But that thing puts out some nice clean tones backed up with all that reverb.
The amount of sustain in the gain channel is also great ..

Iâve always been a little confused about the hiss topic, Iâve never thought âwhat the hell?!â in a live setting because of minor guitar amp hiss that is never that prominent in a live mix. Itâs rock & rock for Godâs sake! A good studio engineer has no trouble working around that minor-moderate hiss which is mostly from single coil guitars of course. It would be great to do another quick demo with a HH guitar. I have a AC15-C2 which has truly glorious tones & Itâs what Iâve been searching for, for decades (& Iâm a bass player first) Iâve played with many guitarists using various high quality gear & VOX is by far one of the best ever. I could care less about the lack of an effects loop, (never used them) & my pedals sound killer straight into the AC12-C2. Thanks again Elmo!đ€đŒđžđ„

I had one up until recently. It had no hiss or a weird resonance.
But, as I got more effects pedals, I decided to sell it and will eventually purchase an AC-30 head.
As always, great review, Elmo. đ€

I have used one for a couple years now, I plug in my pedal board to the normal channel only and do use a noise gate in the signal chain. Honestly sounds really good and can play at any volume. I do also highly recommend an eq pedal but I donât miss the effects loop that I have on my other amps, still produces pristine reverbs and delays in front. Great video!
