Product Information

VOX AC15HWR1 Hand-Wired Series Guitar Amplifier (Greenback Version)

Classic VOX tone with a bolder voice.

Few amplifiers have shaped music history like the VOX AC15. The AC15 Hand-Wired Greenback version continues that legacy with meticulous hand-wired construction and vintage circuit accuracy, now voiced through a Celestion Greenback speaker for punchier mids and earlier breakup.

This is more than a reissue. It is a fully hand-crafted tribute to the original 1960s copper panel design, refined with modern features including a master volume, transparent effects loop, and tube-driven spring reverb.

For players who prefer a tighter low end, warmer midrange, and faster speaker saturation, the Greenback version delivers a bold and responsive alternative while retaining unmistakable VOX character.

A Richer Midrange, a Stronger Push

At the heart of the AC15’s voice is its EL84 power section and the unique way the phase inverter begins to distort when pushed. This produces subtle, musical harmonics that define the classic VOX sound and differ from typical preamp-driven gain.

That signature behaviour is enhanced by the Celestion Greenback’s throatier mids and earlier breakup, producing expressive dynamics from shimmering cleans to saturated British roar.

The power supply recreates the original 1963 voltage sag, delivering natural compression and touch sensitivity without the instability or noise of vintage amplifiers.

Custom Transformers and a Responsive Cabinet

A hand-wound output transformer recreates the original midrange growl and complex harmonic layering, while the 12mm birch ply cabinet construction ensures authentic resonance.

The Greenback’s softer highs and slightly looser low end complement this perfectly, resulting in a tone that is warm, bold, and easy to drive.

Two Channels. One Classic Voice.

• Normal Channel: Warm, thick tones with a Bright switch for added clarity
• Top Boost Channel: Classic VOX chime and drive with slightly tamed highs for improved control

Unique to the AC15 in this series, the Boost switch increases gain and adds rich midrange growl, pushing the Greenback speaker beautifully. Whether clean or cranked, the amp remains harmonically rich and touch-sensitive.

Lush Tube-Driven Spring Reverb

The onboard spring reverb is powered by its own dedicated tube circuit with a separate output transformer to ensure correct impedance matching.

The result is a rich, present reverb that blends seamlessly with your tone, adjustable via Level and Tone controls and footswitchable for easy bypass.

Transparent FX Loop for Modern Rigs

A FET-buffered effects loop provides maximum transparency, preserving core tone while integrating delay, modulation, and ambient effects cleanly—even when the amp is driven.

When not required, the loop can be fully bypassed for a direct signal path.

Stage-Ready Power and Versatility

Powered by a pair of EL84 tubes delivering 15 watts of British valve tone, the AC15 Hand-Wired Greenback version is ideal for studio use and small to mid-size stages.

The Greenback’s earlier breakup makes it easier to reach the sweet spot at lower volumes, while rear-panel outputs allow connection to extension cabinets or attenuators.

Vintage Character, Your Way

This Greenback-equipped AC15 Hand-Wired retains all the character of the original with a warmer, more grounded voice.

Whether you’re chasing classic rock grit, rich clean textures, or expressive mid-gain tones, it delivers unmistakable VOX sound in a responsive and accessible package.
