I can get sparkly cleans to perfect crunch and then great distortion (if needed) from this amp. I then spent the next ten years going through different setups trying to find that sound in a gig friendly amp but I only really tried Marshall's and Fender's.Īfter years of frustration from trying amps with combinations of mods/speakers and OD pedals I finally heard a guitarist using a Vox AC15 in a pub gig and THAT was the sound I'd been looking for and since purchasing it I've never looked back. I started off with a solid state Laney that had a crunch mode and I fell in love with that sound from the moment I first heard it.

You can sweeten the sound of your Custom Series amplifier using the VOX Classic Tremolo effect. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Custom Series can deliver everything from a clean VOX "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain-staging. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone-shaping.

This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.īoth channels rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. of the amp.VOX Custom Series amps offer two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Jacks for extension speakers and for an optional remote foot switch are mounted on the upper back panel. Vox has decided to not offer this amp with the Vox/Celestion Blue Alnico speaker at this time.
