Nouveaux VOX AC15C1, AC30C2 et AC30C2X

Youhou les amis!
Devant la rumeur persistante de fin de production des Vox Custom Classic, j'ai contacté Vox directement et je viens d'avoir un mail de réponse :

Bonjour,
Je vous invite à découvrir la nouvelle série des AC en avant première sur
notre site internet www.laboitenoiredumusicien.com
N'hésitez pas à poser vos question sur le Forum en français sur ce même
site.
Cordialement.
Thibaut COUTANSAIS
Product Manager


Donc il y a bien une nouvelle série des AC, apparemment renommée AC15C et AC30C

Je créé ce topic en attendant d'avoir plus d'infos très bientôt.

Ac15

The Models

* AC15C1: 15 Watts Single 12" Celestion G12M Greenback Speaker

An Evolution in Tone
VOX Custom Series amps offer two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.

Both channels rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone-shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain-staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Custom Series can deliver everything from a clean VOX "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone.

Sound in Motion
You can sweeten the sound of your Custom Series amplifier using the VOX Classic Tremolo effect. Both the speed and the depth are adjustable, allowing you to generate just the sound you want. A warm Spring Reverb is also included on all Custom Series amps, adding spaciousness to the sound. All Custom Series amps can use the VOX VFS2 footswitch, allowing you to turn the Reverb and Tremolo effects on and off as you continue to play.

Power Sharing
The AC15C1 combo makes use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and uses pair of EL84 tubes to drive a single 12" Celestion G12M Greenback. All models in the Custom Series offer a switchable 8/16 ohm output jack for powering an external speaker cabinet when you need to speak with a little more authority; using this jack will mute the internal speakers. Additionally, a 2nd extension speaker jack allows you to run an extra 16 ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound.

bonne initiative

ils ont une différence avec l'ancienne version des CC ?

Pour le moment aucune information technique, mais apparemment ça ne va pas tarder. Hormis le prix (inférieur aux CC) rien pour le moment...

Bien que ça me semblait étrange que la production cesse purement et simplement, je suis rassuré.

Je vois aussi des modèles "VR".. Ça rappelle les premiers amplis avec leur principe Valveréactor des Valvetronix (mais sans preamp numérique) non ? Vu le prix, l'effet de mode et la catégorie 'tout lampe', ils nous auraient sorti un ampli transistor ou numérique avec section d'ampli à lampe que ça m'étonnerait pas. Même que vu leur passé dans le domaine, ça pourrait être excellent.. *fantasme*

Il faut attendre 2 jours et 11 minutes avant l'annonce officielle.

Can't wait!

Y'a déjà des nouvelles photos sur le lien que j'ai donné

AC15C1



AC30C2



AC15 double canal apparemment, pas de AC30 à un HP

Et pas de tête

GOD, si le vox ac15 dispose d'un canal normal à la ac30, je saute dessus.

On dirait bien que l'AC15 se rapproche de l'AC30 dans les caractéristiques, ça a l'air cool!


Peut-être d'autres surprises bientôt!
