The APC-1 will come in 3 colours, Red Metallic, Blue Metallic, Orange Metallic
The amplifier section focused on analog circuitry
The amplifier section, which is the key to the sound, was redesigned to match the APC-1 speaker unit based on the legendary tone of the VOX AC30. By focusing on analog circuits for this amplifier section, an authentic sound was achieved.
Adoption of Wide-Dispersion Speaker
The APC-1 features an omnidirectional speaker from Tectonic Audio Labs. With a full range from 100Hz to 20kHz and the ability to project sound in a wide 180° direction, it adopts a design that ensures clear audio even when not directly facing the speaker. This makes it an ideal speaker for guitars, providing easy sound perception for both the performer and the audience.
Effects and Rhythm Machines
The array of effects includes chorus, tremolo, delay, and reverb, with the added convenience of a tap tempo function for the delay and reverb features. The rhythm machine provides 11 genres, featuring a metronome, and each genre offers three variations, totalling 33 pre-installed rhythm patterns.
