Vox APC-1 Electric Guitar with Built-In Amp and Speaker, Blue Metallic
The APC-1 is a distinctive speaker-equipped guitar whose outline echoes the iconic shape of VOX guitars from the 1960s. Inside sits an analog circuit amp and a rhythm machine, so the instrument produces its own sound with nothing else plugged in. This one is finished in blue metallic.
- Speaker equipped: can be played standalone, with no additional amp or effects.
- Analog circuit amp: built using VOX's extensive amp-making technology.
- Rhythm machine: employs the engine from the VOX MINI GO digital modeling amp.
- 1960s VOX shape: echoes the iconic outline of VOX guitars from that era.
- Where it suits: the living room, outdoors, or as a travel guitar.
- Finish: blue metallic.
The Vox APC-1 is a distinctive speaker-equipped guitar in blue metallic, and its shape echoes the iconic outline of VOX guitars from the 1960s. What makes it unusual is what sits inside the body rather than what is on the outside.
An amp inside the guitar
An analog circuit amp is built in, drawing on VOX's extensive amp-making technology. Because the speaker is part of the instrument, the APC-1 can be played standalone. There is no additional amp to carry and no effects unit to set up before you have a sound.
Rhythm machine from the MINI GO
The guitar also carries a rhythm machine, employing the engine from the VOX MINI GO digital modeling amp. That puts something to play along with inside the instrument itself.
Where it makes sense
Vox calls the APC-1 a culmination of its expertise and past product know-how, fully equipped with the functions needed for sound production. In practice that points at the living room, playing outdoors, or use as a travel guitar, where avoiding a setup is the whole idea.
