The VOX AC15HW1X is a 15-watt hand-wired tube guitar combo amplifier with a single 12-inch Celestion Alnico Blue speaker. This particular AC15HW1X configuration should not be confused with the AC15HW1 version that uses a Celestion Greenback. The amplifier combines classic Normal and Top Boost input paths with hand-wired circuitry and traditional controls.
All-tube amplification
The circuit uses three ECC83/12AX7 preamp valves, two EL84 power valves and an EZ81 rectifier. The Normal and Top Boost sections each provide high- and low-sensitivity input jacks. Top Boost includes independent bass and treble shaping, while the shared master volume and tone-cut controls help refine the output.
Speaker and connections
A 12-inch Celestion Alnico Blue provides the model’s characteristic speaker response. The amplifier has an external speaker jack and an extension speaker jack, as well as a footswitch input. The cabinet dimensions are approximately 610 x 260 x 550 mm.
