T&T x Vox AC15C1

This is our take on one of the top selling amps in the world, the Vox AC15.

A great amp straight out of the box, it comes in a hefty plywood cabinet, a Celestion Greenback speaker & internally a quality double sided PCB.

To improve on this, we took inspiration from Lyall Cadwell (‘Psionic‘ audio channel on YouTube) and implemented some of his ‘Psionic’ mods. These included, changing the power filtering to the vintage AC style to improve playing dynamics & also adding the ability to switch between the vintage & modern tonestack via a push-pull ‘Top-Boost’ volume control.

One major feature we felt is missing from the AC15, is being able to easily jumper the ‘Normal’ & the ‘Top Boost’ channels together, so we’ve added channel jumping via a push-pull volume control on the ‘Normal’ channel *.

As part of the usual T&T rebuild and component upgrade, we upgraded the power filtering capacitors to Nichicon & in the preamp with Panasonic film caps and Nichicon ‘Muse’ bi-polars for the cathode bypass caps. Signal & power resistors we’re also upgraded to 1 watt or greater Vishay metal film.

To minimise the noise floor, wiring has been dresssed & re-routed where needed, shielding added to the back of the cabinet & the wiring from the input to V1 covered with a grounded mesh.

Finally we added a little bit of bling with some custom made gold metal vents to replace stock plastic/black ones & updated the handle & protecter screws to match.

The T&T x Vox AC15 comes with the stock Celestion Greenback, however we did get our hands on a mint condition Vox/Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, which is available to upgrade with.

Other included accessories are a cover and dual footswitch controling the Reverb and Tremolo.
