Vox APC-1 Electric Guitar w/ Built-in Speaker - Red Metallic

The Vox APC‐1 Electric Guitar brings the spirit of the 1960s VOX classics into the modern era, combining a sleek retro aesthetic with cutting‐edge technology. Designed for players seeking freedom from external gear, the APC‐1 integrates a built‐in analogue amplifier and speaker system, allowing for rich, dynamic tones anywhere, whether practising at home, performing outdoors, or travelling. Crafted with a poplar body, maple neck, and purple heart fingerboard, its distinctive Red Metallic finish evokes the timeless charm of vintage VOX designs.

At the heart of the APC‐1 lies an analogue circuit amplifier inspired by the legendary VOX AC30, delivering authentic valve‐like sound and multi‐stage gain circuitry that captures the nuanced distortion and warmth of classic amps. Players can easily shape their tone using amp‐style controls for GAIN, BOOST, TONE, and VOLUME, achieving everything from clean chime to driven crunch. A humbucker pickup ensures a strong, balanced output, while the innovative GAIN knob produces smooth overdrive without the harsh fuzz often found in speaker‐equipped guitars.

Drawing from the VOX MINI GO digital amp series, the APC‐1 also includes built‐in effects such as chorus, tremolo, delay, and reverb, along with a tap‐tempo function for precise timing. The onboard rhythm machine offers 33 rhythm patterns across 11 genres with a metronome, making it ideal for practice or solo performance. Powered by six AA batteries, the APC‐1 comes complete with a gig bag, adjustment wrench, strap, and batteries -ready to play straight out of the box.
