The Holy Grail of VOX Tone!
The Vox AC15H1TV guitar amplifier represents one of the first offerings from the company's new Heritage Collection of handwired amps, which commemorate Vox's 50th anniversary. Rather than simply reissuing old designs, Vox combines the EF86 preamp channel of 1958 with the Top Boost channel from 1963 to transport you through the golden age of Vox tone. Other features of the AC15H1TV include a half-power switch, single 12" Celestion Alnico "Blue" speaker, bass shift and brilliance switches, and a vintage-style vinyl-covered cabinet. Experience some of the best tones of the last 50 years with the Vox AC15H1TV amplifier.

Vox AC15H1TV Guitar Amplifier at a Glance:
  • Channel 1
  • Channel 2
  • Flexible power
  • Vintage-style cosmetics

Channel 1
Channel 1 is the EF86 preamp channel, and features two inputs wired in the traditional way that gives them a 6dB gain difference between them. A two-position Bass shift switch is included, with position 1 voiced to the original vintage-correct bass response and position 2 voiced to tighten the bass response and reduce any muddiness during high-volume use. The three-position Brilliance switch provides flat response when in the off position. Position 1 is a new position voiced like the early AC30 "Treble" amps, while position 2 is the original brilliance circuit, which acts as a dramatic bass cut. The EF86 Mode switch re-configures the EF86 valve from Pentode mode to Triode mode. Triode mode will give a lower gain tone with higher headroom. Pentode mode is the famed original mode and has a very sweet high gain tone with not very much headroom.

Channel 2
Channel 2 is the Top Boost Preamp channel. Like Channel 1, this channel includes two inputs wired with a 6 dB gain difference between them. The Treble and Bass controls are from the 1963 Top Boost circuit and are extremely interactive. Very minor adjustments of these controls can yield dramatic changes in tone color.

Flexible power
The O/P Switch adds even more flexibility to the AC15H1TV. This switch changes the power output tubes from Pentode Mode, which is the normal operating mode of the power amplifier, to Triode Mode, which halves the power output to 7.5 watts and will smooth the tone out slightly.

The finishing touches
Great care and research went into the cosmetics for this special amplifier to combine vintage-correct styling with some modern revisions. These touches include a vintage "TV Front" cabinet, pre-1960 logo placement, and vintage-inspired cream vinyl covering.

Vox AC15H1TV Guitar Amplifier Features:
  • Power output:15 watts RMS into 8 or 16 ohm loudspeaker load - selectable via rear panel switch
  • Tubes: 1 x EF86, 3 x ECC83/12AX7, 2 x EL84, 1 x EZ81 (rectifier).
  • Speaker: Vox/Celestion Alnico Blue 12", 8 ohm.

“Warm and LARGE sounding amp! I have played my '67 Gretsch Country Gentleman through a '63 Vox AC15 and while I did not have the oppurtunity to directly A/B this amp with a '63, I do not detect any disparaging differences between the two. Beautiful, clean "Beatle" tones (with either the EF86 channel OR the '63 Top Boost channel), spot on "Brian May" tone (if you're using a proper "Red Special"...” Read More
