A VOX on the go inspired by sixties aesthetics
The Vox APC-2 "Apache 2 Black" carries the visual DNA of iconic VOX models while adapting it to today's needs: a compact guitar designed for practice, songwriting, and improvisation. Its concept places electronics at the heart of the instrument, with analog amplification housed in the body and an integrated rhythm module, offering a particularly effective "plug and play" approach.
Who is it for and what styles?
This guitar is aimed at beginners seeking a simple and motivating solution, as well as intermediate players looking for a creative backup instrument to take everywhere. Pop, rock, blues, funk, indie: the drum machine helps work on timing, while the effects and BOOST encourage exploring more biting textures, from pick playing to more percussive riffs.
The sound
The onboard analog amp delivers a VOX-inspired character: bright cleans, present mids, and tight lows, perfect for highlighting attack and groove. The GAIN and BOOST duo allows switching from a crisp clean tone to a richer overdrive without losing articulation. The two pickups provide useful tonal variations for alternating between rhythm parts and more aggressive lines. Effects (chorus, tremolo, delay, reverb) add width and depth, and the TAP function makes the delay more musical in real situations. Finally, the omnidirectional Tectonic speaker delivers a balanced sound, convenient when playing without being positioned directly "in front" of the instrument.
Recommended compatible accessories
To optimize battery life, Ni-MH rechargeable AA batteries (x6) with a suitable charger are a smart choice. For maintenance, prefer a 6-string electric guitar string set with standard ball ends. The gig bag and strap are included, so the Vox APC-2 is ready to accompany you from the very first use.
