Two Distinct Vintage Vox Channels in One Historic Head! The Vox AC15 Heritage Head takes you on a magical history tour of classic Vox tone, with hand-wired quality and beautiful looks. By pairing the venerable EF86 preamp channel from 1958 with 1963's Top Boost channel, Vox gives makes the AC15 Heritage Head a tonal trip through their golden age. Plus, you get some modern amenities, such as bass and treble controls, half-power switch, and output impedance selector. Imagine all that rich Vox character in a compact, classic-looking package! The Vox AC15 Heritage Head is an impressive, compact amp head. Vox AC15 Heritage Head Handwired Guitar Amplifier at a Glance: Celebrating a half-century of Vox tone Two great preamp channels in one package Classic vintage looks, modern touches Celebrating a half-century of Vox tone What is it that makes EF86 based VOX amplifiers some of the most collectible in the world? Maybe it's the way the amp naturally overdrives, almost breathing with a life of its own. Perhaps it's the transparency of tone that flatters a premium quality guitar, or the way it dynamically responds to the subtlety of your picking. Or maybe it's the raw power of the creamy distortion as you crank the amp all the way up. Whatever it is, there is an undeniable magic about this period of VOX amplification - an age when the most simple of circuits produced some of the most complex and musical of tones. Now in short supply, the EF86 Pentode tube is at the heart of this elusive tone. It's a fitting tribute to Vox's 50th anniversary. Two great preamp channels in one package Channel 1of the Vox AC15 Heritage Head is the EF86 Preamp channel, and features two inputs wired for 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 less headroom. Channel 2 is the Top Boost preamp channel. Like Channel 1, this channel includes two inputs wired with a 6dB 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. And true to Vox form is the Top Cut control, which cuts highs from either channel as it's turned up. Classic vintage looks, modern touches An O/P Switch adds even more flexibility to the AC15. This switch changes the power output valves from Pentode mode, which is the normal operating mode of the power amplifier, to Triode mode, halving the power output to 7.5 watts and at the same time offering smoother tonal characteristics. Meanwhile, great care and research went into the cosmetics for this special amplifier, which perfectly blends authentic vintage styling with contemporary attributes. These touches include vintage "TV Front" cabinetry, pre-1960 logo placement, and vintage-inspired cream vinyl covering.
