Vox AC15 TBX Question......

[maya29]

Hiya,,, is this TBX series sub-par, especially compared to the AC15C1, and does it get a bad rap for any particular reason?
Tnx

From a quick look it looks like that is a handwired version of the AC15.
I dont nessasarily believe handwired is any tonal advantage over a pcb. But it does make repairs and mods much easier and there is no chance of a cracked or burned pcb or other things like pcb mounted tube sockets over heating the board. Not to mention in 20yrs you wont have the nightmare of doing a recap with pcb mounted filter caps.

Can I ask where this question is coming from? It seems a little pointed, but I might be misreading

one might argue the ac15tbx is a superior amp to the ac15c1. the tbx is made in england by marshall and has a celestion blue speaker stock. who says it has a bad reputation?
