Vox AC15 - Full Walkthrough & Demo

Do you need to keep the stand by on when playing? I still don’t get how to use it. I’m getting my new Vox AC15 Head. Thanks to your reviews I finally decided to get it, and I’ll get it on Friday. Cheers!!!

Finally someone who plays chords!!!!

Does this sound the same as the head?

endlich mal ein Usernahes Video...und keine Demonstration eigener Spielkunst!

Love this vox with greenbacks and a 335 for jazzy stuff...perfect tri-fecta!

I love Vox amps too. Landon, I don't know if other viewers get the humor of your vids but I do. Don't take this wrong because I don't mean it negatively, but your style and approach remind me of the comic actor that does those insurance commercials where he calls himself mayhem. I get a kick out of those too. All the best

The best explanation so far. Clear and crisp without much talk. Thank you.

I'm on my second one... my 400.00 vox beat my 1800.00 lightning... seriously..I sold the Matchless.

My ears are use to fender eq I took a gamble and bought an ac15 my ears are still trying to adjust to its "flavor" and definitely has its own sound

Not too happy with the made in China tag

Finally a practical gear review. Thanks!

Excellent Demo LB. The reason why. You play chords and you play a lead. I have heard guys to demos where they demo the amp with only single note solos. You can't tell what an amp really sounds like with just single notes. Your demo is also very simple. Most people need very simple, because playing is enough to worry about., not digging through menus and learning a people that is must smarter than I am. Cheers and nice job.. once again@

Excellent review. You went straight to the features, and effects with beautiful, straight forward examples. Some equipment reviewers really just want to play their hot chops for you, and you have to sit through all that.
You kept the playing straight forward so the viewer could appreciate what the amp actually does.
Thanks for that!

Thanks brother. Getting back to music and moved to NYC almost 5 years ago. Want the orange amps but I've always wanted a Vox. Think this may be perfect for home and jamming to I think.

Thanks mate very nice look at this Amp and the settings.

They greatest affordable amp of the last 20 years!

There’s one selling for 5 hundred just wondering if this amp suits me I love the sounds you’re getting I’m thinking I will

I love the sound and I’m considering buying the head version or maybe an AC10. But I don’t know if I can justify the purchase. I already have an OR15 which is an EL84 British style amp. I know they don’t sound the same but they’re somewhat similar. What do you think?

A very helpful video because your playing reminds me a lot of what I can do on guitar. It‘s like hearing myself. I think the AC 15 could be the right amp for me.

I didn't think the AC15 had Tremolo?

Do you think it is too much volume for a basement amp?

Excellent instructional video. Just what this old cat needed. Thanks you, Landon.

Landon, I saw a few questions on your post (which is a great demo), about being able to switch between Normal and Top Boost channels. I use a Live Wire A B Y Switch in my signal chain. i.e. guitar to pedal board, then into ABY, then output A to Top Boost, output B to Normal channel. Enables me to switch between channels or blend both. I would think any ABY would work, but the Live Wire does the job.
As a side note, I’ve been using Vox amps since 60’s ( sometimes Fender). I play in a 60’s British Invasion trio and I’ve never had a problem with volume.

Great demo. How does it sound throttled back for “bedroom” use? Will it keep my wife awake? 😂

Great walk-through! Thank you.

I’ve had my AC15c1 for about 10 days.
I frickin love this amp!

I figured I swap in my Celestion Blue, but I actually like the Greenback better.

Sold!

This is the review that “talked” me into buying a Vox amp, although I got the ac15 c2-12...incredible amp. Thanks for sharing this video! Your playing on this was much more relatable than many others. Most amp reviews have some guy playing mostly lead with very little rhythm (which is what I play). Thanks again!!!

Its a shame that your guitar is out of tune... I know there is a lot of think of when demoing stuff - but it detracts from what you are trying to do :(

If Joey Votto did guitar amp demos

Thanks for this very informative and entertaining video Landon. I'm thinking about purchasing a Vox ac15 C1 amp. Is just demo with the original tubes? And have you changed out the tubes since then? - Thanks

Kid Ac15 (brilliant and gorgeous sound and playing as ever)

Can you give your opinion between this Vox and your Princeton for home recording please? Btw cool review as always

The tone cut is a game changer. My tele has a quite ice picky bridge pickup so it just takes the edge of it and makes it much more manageable

You were so serious haha !

i have this amp annd need a cab for gigs and trying to get a nirvana live tone

Hey Landon, how loud does this baby get when you've got it distorted in the second half of the video? Reckon it's ok for home use?

Hi Lando, thinking about getting an AC15. How much clean headroom would you say it has compared to something like a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe? What kind of volume (decibels) are you getting before it begins breaking up? Thanks!

Sounds great but jeez what an ugly guitar...

Tremolo is horrible, how many songs would that destroy seriously

Will that high distortion hurt the speaker?

ideal playing for demo.

learn to play more than 4secs... otherwise no meaning to vdo

Great review, congratulations! A doubt, the amplifier behaves well with modulation and time pedals?

I recently learned the Beatles used Gibson j160s thru a vox ac15 amp. Do you think it would sound decent if I used a j45 instead? Thanks!

Glorious!

Very informative. I've just got the VOX AC15 and have no idea how it works. Now I do. Thanks!

considering buying this over the ac10c1, but is it suitable for home practice in terms of loudness?

Sooooo much talking.
