BitMo VoxMo15 Mod Kit for the Vox AC15Vox recently released the Custom AC15C1 – Most of the features of the AC30 (2 channels, top boost, cut knob, reverb and tremolo) but still not quite a “little AC30” sound-wise. The BitMo VoxMo15 mod kit adds a 3-way switch with 2 new voicings to either the NORMAL or TOP BOOST channel, getting you closer to the classic AC30 tone. This really makes the amp much more versatile. With the 2 channel AC15C1, if you put an A/B/Y foot switch (not included) on the inputs, you can switch or mix the channels remotely. You do not lose anything as the middle position of the added switch is the stock configuration of the amp. Switch position 1 lowers the gain, increases the headroom and provides a “Super Jangle” voicing perfect with your Rickenbacker 12 string for Byrds and Beatles. With a tighter bass and enhanced mid-treble response, it also works wonders for removing the mud from humbucker pickups. If you are a Vox fan, you will love this voicing. Switch position 3 boosts and shifts the mid frequencies down and raises the gain for a stout crunch to full-on overdrive that can go from crunch to chocolaty brown cello sound to that classic singing “overdriven AC30” tone. Works great with the cut control. All voicings are very touch sensitive, going from warm or sparkly clean to full overdrive with lots of interesting shades in between, with various flavors of that magical Vox midrange. Note: The instructions are specifically for the Custom AC15C1 but also include slightly more generic directions for the Custom Classic AC15CC and other VOX AC15 tube amps. Warnings, etc: There can be some dangerous voltages in tubes amps so be careful! Always unplug the amp before working on it. You should also use goggles or glasses while soldering. We consider these mods to be of moderate complexity - not recommended for complete novices. Skills needed - must be able to solder and drill a hole in the metal chassis. Tools you will need - screwdriver, knife, soldering iron, rosin core solder, wire stripper, needle nose pliers, drill and bits. Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. |
