This is the new 2010 Vox AC15HW1, the hand-wired AC15 combo from the New 2010 Vox Handwired series. These 60's style fawn tolex beauties feature the unmistakable chime and natural compression that you've come to expect from the best vintage Vox AC15 amplifiers, thanks to all-tube design, including an EZ81 tube rectifier, and top-shelf components hand-wired on turretboard just like the old days. The control panel on the Vox AC15HW1 offers considerable flexibility, with Normal and Top Boost Channels, a half-power switch, and a footswitchable hot mode for extra gain. You can also keep it old-school by completely bypassing the Master Volume. 15 Watts of EL84 tube power is pumped through your choice of either a Celestion Greenback (Vox AC15HW1) or a Celestion Alnico Blue speaker (Vox AC15HW1x), housed in a Birch-ply cabinet with solid bracing and natural high-end diffusion for ultra smooth treble response. For true Vox tone, it doesn't get better than the new 2010 Vox AC15 Hand-wired combo.
Andy is the only demo whiz who ever plays style-appropriate rock riffs to highlight gear according to expectation/association. Thanks Andy!
YOU HAVE THE BEST REVIEWS IN THE WORLD OF ANY PRODUCT PERIOD
Love how he always play a familiar tune that is reminiscent of the amp's history as a reference point. Way better than the "other review guy" who just noodles around. Keep up the good work.
This might literally be the best sounding amp I've ever heard. I'm playing an Orange Rocker 30 into a vintage greenback loaded Marshall cab that I love to death but this Vox may be just the ticket for smaller shows and practicing at home. That just sounds really great. Nice demo.
Thanks for not talking all the way through this demo so I could actually hear the amp...unlike most of vox's demos.
Very usually on these amp demo videos, we usually get a guitarist playing some generic blues lick, but on this one the first thing I hear is 'The One I Love.' Refreshingly brilliant, made me smile!
there should be a vox HW amp that has all these features but has the tremolo and reverb of the custom series amps. an amp like that might upset the universal balance of guitar amplifiers.
If this amp is made in England, I would seriously consider buying it.
Andy is my gear demonstration hero ever since PGS started to post videos. I wish he was my brother.
This one goes out to the one i loooovee.
This one goes out to the one i left behind!!!
andy you are amazing
The tone you got with that 52 is the most beautiful thing ive ever heard, great playing man...
These are my absolute favorite guitar tones. Just a guitar into an amp with some reverb.
When the lights! Go down! In the city! I love the tones
I always look forward to watching Andy's next demo. He really has a great understanding and knowledge of the equipment he is demonstrating. He also always gets the tone just right when he is playing a cover of a song. Thanks Andy and Pro Guitar Shop!
I've been gigging with an AC-15 for 3 years and never turned it up past noon. IMHO 30 watts is overkill for any bar gig, and large clubs will mic your amp anyways.
Can anybody find me somebody to love..........
Awesome as usual Andy. Amazing tone and drive on this.
first amp video I've ever heard anyone play radiohead on thanks dude!
The One I love- REM
Black Star- Radiohead
I tried both when shopping for mine, and the HW is the better amp no question. the C1 is a good choice if your budget's a bit tight to stretch for the HW, or if you really need the trem/reverb (pretty crappy reverb, actually - though the trem is cool).
sonically, the HW is beefier and sparklier all at the same time, and surprisingly versatile too. it's just.....more. compare them side by side and you'll see what I mean. it's easily the best amp I've ever owned.
Vox is always nice
But it would be better IMO if they used a potentiometer with a built-in switch for the volume, so when you put i all the way up, it activates the MV bypass.
And i'd also re-wire what would be the original MV bypass to switch the output tubes from pentode to triode mode, so i could get a lower power from the amp for a situation like... if i just wanted to play in a weekend at home, with family and friends... or for recording.
But that's me XD
Anyway, another great video Andy!
great playing top notch.ive upgraded my c1 to the hw more open sounding great amp more volume on tap b n hw no its not a matchless but for 799 out the door .solid amp well done vox
@machogriz That's a good question! The truth is YT is inconsistent in their encoding. However, the videos on our website will always have the best audio quality possible. Thanks!

Sounds amazing... perfect natural saturation
Andy, I love that hand bending of the strat tremolo block!
BLACK STAR!!!!!! damm andy you always deliver the right stuff!!!!
Andy, your Celebration Day was EPIC!
Great to hear some "The Bends" action....
Liked the playing a little bit of Queen, "Somebody to Love" in there with the strat me thinks!!
15 watts is MORE than enough to play live for anyone that's ignorant enough to think otherwise. AC15s have always had a classier and refined tone to my ears.
@7endertelecaster I put the blue in, warmes the mids up also have a EI and a LPS in the PI slot. With my tele i have a little 59 to rip it up on the gain side. The SG and les paul are warmer and work well in the hot mode.
I'd have liked to hear a little of the amps clean capabilities.
@dwmcm1 - Not a boost pedal, just the footswitch for the AC15's Hot Mode. Thanks!
-PGS Crew
Man you hit the solo for celebration day... Jiz.
can't wait for the ac30 demo!!!
I like that I know all these songs
I want one! Also, I dig the new settings cam. :)
Hey PGS, i have a vox ac15 my self, im curious to know though, why does the handwired models have more gain and dirt then the regular vox ac15?
3:09 Whats is sweet soul sound!! ive fallin' in love. fantastic
Great demo, but what about some clean tone?
I know its 15W, but still...
Ive got a Vox handwired 50th Anniversary edition AC30 w/alnico blues. Is this series relatively the same? Same settings apply?
@solepsis I bought the ac15h1tv, and there are two notable differences. for one, mine doesn't have a master volume. mine also doesn't have a footswitch to control the top boost channel (or the other channel for that matter). there is also the slight cosmetic difference. it's still totally bad-ass, though, and i got it slightly used at a great price. rock on.
Hi!! great video! I have an answer: is the hot mode comparable to the top boost channel boosted with a treble booster, just as brian may and others did?
Beauty tele!
Somebody to loooooooooooooovvvvvvee
radiohead with the tele!! nice
AW.... I just got the new AC15 custom and this comes out... Maaaann. I would have gotten this.
I have this amp, is there anyway to get the hot switch to sound good?
@ypperlig89 Wrong, it's Black Star by Radiohead from The Bends album.
Damn, Andy. Do you nail the demos in one take or does it sometimes take several takes? Just like to know that you are actually human and not some alien riffmaster.
Incredible amp, BTW. Love that classic vox chime.
Somebody to love :)
@carswell98
AC15's absolutely can do clean, even if only to a certain extent. that's all i wanted to see.
nice job of somebody to love!
What an amp!
Hi I love the video. It helped me to decide on buying this amp. I got it and I love it!. I wanted to know what kind of stand was used on this video. Im on the look for a stand and this one looks like it fits perfect. Than you!
i have 2 AC15HW1Xs, curious, any advantage to replacing one of my blues with a gold? i play in stereo. would LOVE to hear a comparison!
@777jordan
Yep you got it, definitely Celebration Day with the Les Paul
Does the AC15 Handwired sound just like the AC30 version, but just at lower wattage?
@RenaissanceBulldogs1 IT IS FROM THE BENDS !
@mescaliiiiine I think it's Celebration Day by Led Zeppelin
I find this interesting, because I've been trying to compare the HW versions to my C1. I get some very nice tones by the time I'm cranked to slightly annoying volumes, but I've always wondered about the HW...
if you have the money, the ac30 plays better cranked up for gigs than the 15. both are unreal amps though, can't go wrong with either
Was the Les Paul section with the green back or the blue? BTW, you guys make the best demos. Thanks for that.
Great demo as always guys! I just wanted to ask where you got the chrome stand for the amp?
I'm thinking about eventually buying this amp. Do you guys think it would sound good for occasionally playing some heavier stuff? I heard one clip with an AC30 boosted with a RAT and it sounded pretty damn heavy.
I really love that jangly Vox tone, but I also like to occasionally something a bit heavier.
Why don't you demo the master bypass switch? That's the only difference between the previous hand-wired models and the new (besides the fawn tolex). I'm trying to decide between the previous model fire-sale versions, or the newer (and $600 more) models.
Does the bypass run it past the preamp and give it a 40s-50s sound? Please assist...
Great tones man and your usual great demos!
Is the 7.5Watt mode too loud for the house I want to get cranked sounds?
Currently got a Blackstar HT5S ministack and looking for a change
This one goes out to the one I love.
@nairblink I'm in the same situation, I'll think I'll go for Handwired, the blues in the C2x aren't made in the UK so they aren't the "real" deal as such, you can buy the blues separately which are UK made, and work out cheaper than getting the HW2x. Plus tone is the most important thing! you don't want to get something that's second best then just end up saving up for the HW2 anyway.
Andy,
I have the AC15C1 with a greenback in it. I am seriously thinking about getting a HW, but I have not had the opportunity to play one and may not get that opportunity where I live. Do you think the new HW is a huge amount better than the AC15C1?
would pgs recommend a fender champ 600 or epiphone valve junior combo for someone who needs good tone for practice, and sometimes recording? hahaha please answer despite the utter randomness.
any word when these will ship? still no sign of them at most stores.
Nice demo, but my God that amp sounds harsh.
What's the difference in tone between this amp and the discontinued Heritage Vox?
How do you compare the previous Heritage Handwired of 2 years back to the current Handwired? I like the Master Volume option but no EF86?
Well that's on paper, but tonewise any help here?
What's the difference in the speakers? Anything drastic?
Its loud enough for small gigs without mics? (for example in pubs)
Great tunes paired with the amp. I like when Vox amps are connected in Stereo with high gain for tones like Queen and Stone Temple Pilots.
ops... i didn't notice the OP switch!
Nevermind what i said in my last comment XD they though of everything for this amp
How is the new VOX AC15 up against a vintage one?
blame it on the blackstar !!!
Thumbs up If your a true Radiohead Fan !
Why do I like the sound from the PGS demo of the AC15C1 better than this HW version?
Cool demo, but I wish you'd demonstrated the different speakers with the same guitar so we could hear the actual tonal difference of the speakers, rather than the guitar. Very nice amp, though.
I'm torn between the HW and the 15c1. How would you characterize the sonic differences. I've listened to both demo vids but curious to that which does not translate in the videos. Since the demos aren't exact comparisons ie, same gtrs, same settings.
Black Star
@InspiretoVictory - Andy has been known to do as many as two takes of a particular tune...on a bad day : )
-PGS Crew
this is brilliant! how does the amp do with pedals?
Hi Andy, is this amp pedal friendly ?
I sold my AC30CC2 couple of month ago because it wasn't and I'd like to know if this one is.
QUEEN!!! :D
How do you do that disappearing pick trick when you solo? That's wild. :)
@brandon5pennies Eh, not exactly true. There's always the issue of clean headroom as well as how heavy your drummer is, how many peopel are in the band, the type of music you play, whether or not its being mic'd by a PA, how big the venue is and... well. You get the idea.
How do you think the AC15 holds up in the cleans department? I know the HW is a fair bit louder than the C1. Can it hold up alright at clean with just a touch of breakup?
Can this amp do clean tones very well?
would you rather get an AC30C2X or an AC30HW2 ? love those blues but the hw has better tone ... grrrr wish i simply had 600$ more ot get the hw2x haha
So... This vid was posted on my birthday. I think that it's time for FREE AMP SUNDAYS?? Huh? Huh? ;)
i know its selfish to ask, but i wish ya'll would do vox videos with all those new gretsches you guys carry. what better combo than a gretsch with a vox?
What exactly is the difference between this and the ac15h1tv? Is it just cosmetic?
What are the specs for that les paul?
that's a great tone, and is pretty damn close to jimmy sound!
you guys sell amps; curious: what do you usually use for attenuation and earplugs?
Hey PGS, what tele is Andy playing in this video?
