Which boutique builder makes a good VOX low watt amp (10-15 watts)

[duhziner]

The price of vintage is astronomical and I don't know enough to pick out a good one. What boutique builder does good Vox?

 

[Termigator308]

Valvetech Hayseed 15 or 30

The Carr Lincoln is an option. Pretty sure the inspiration started when Steve tried a vintage AC10.

Matchless, baby

Yes, this. Try a Lightning and a Spitfire. Both are 15 watt beasts but have a different sounds and feel.

Magic Amps Crossroads

1. TopHat Supreme 16 (has two separate sides to it - one with an EF86 that has simple Vol/Tone).
2. TopHat Club Royale - newest model. Has Heyboer transformers, including one that is right-sized to AC15-type specs (the older CRs had an OT more reminiscent of a Deluxe Reverb).

Both of these amps are glorious, will easily get you where you want to go, and will also allow you to enter Marshall territory based on the way you choose to e.q. the amp.

Some of these will still "break the bank"

For close to pure Vox:
Hayseed 15 or Hayseed 30
Morgan AC20 (or the Deluxe model), Abbey20 or DAG15
Nolatone Chimey Limey
Winfield Cyclone
Gabriel Voxer
65amps London (or the Pro)
Bruno UG30

For updated takes on the ACxx circuit:
Dr. Z - StangRay, Z-Wreck, RxES, RxJr, Mazerati, Maz Jr/Sr,
BadCat - Black Cat
Matchless
TopHat
Mesa Boogie Transatlantic series (TA-15/TA-30)
Genz Benz - Black Pearl (probably the cheapest on this list)
Magic amps
Jackson Ampworks

Also nothing wrong with the Vox handwired series.

Just to name a few

Vox does Vox extremely well. Their HW series are great amps.
