What's Hot
Launched in 2017, this is an example of the classic AC15 in head format in a limited edition and long sold-out 'Bronco White' tolex. In immaculate condition - despite my best intentions, it hasn't left home since I bought it. Two channels: Normal and the famous Top Boost. Comes with a built-in reactive attenuator that enables you to run it at 1.5w and 1/6w - great for using at home and bedroom-friendly levels.
This one has been revalved with JJ El84s and TAD ECC83s. It also comes with a Vox VFS2 pedal to control the built-in tremolo and reverb via footswitch.
I'm happy to share pictures on request. Buyer collects from Aberdour, Fife or I can post at cost - likely to be about £20.

Comments
If you were around the corner I'd love a try on this. It would be nice to have as a Brit-foil to my 20w Marshall head.

My trading feedback - I'm a good egg
I've been using this in conjunction with my venerable SoundCity 50 and the combination of the two is definitely "my sound". The only reason I'm moving this one on is because I've also got a black one.
Speaking of which...
I'm seriously tempted, though it would be daft because I'm more than happy with my Origin 20H (which I bought before they were hideously discounted). I've never had a Vox though...
Let me ponder [and rattle the girls' piggy banks]. One question: how're these with pedals (esp given there's no loop)?

My bandmate has an AC30 which is what turned me onto Voxes after a lifetime of Marshall, Fender and SoundCity amps. Hearing a friend blasting his AC15 alongside a Super also convinced me that a 15w amp is definitely "loud enough" (whereas the AC30 never gets turned up above 3, even onstage). I run this absolutely dimed and the SoundCity 50 on about 3.5 to balance chime/fizz against clean/clang. There's a life and vitality to the Vox sound that I just haven't found in other amp types.
Apart from avoiding Tubescreamer types, I've never understood where the idea about Voxes not taking pedals well comes from. The gain stages I use are: a MadeByMike Saltbooster (modified LPB-1); Timmy; then a Rat in that order to get all the gain, OD and fuzz you could possibly want.
