The head version of the classic 50th anniversary 15 watt amp. Baltic Birch ply with special cream vinyl. Launched in March 2007. Your search for the Holy Grail of VOX tone ends here. Heritage Collection of hand-wired amplifiers was built in 2007 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of VOX guitar amplifiers. Rather than just a typical reissue where a vintage amp is dusted off and copied, this amplifier transports you through the golden age of VOX tone, combining the prized EF86 preamp channel of 1958 with the 1963 Top Boost channel all in one amplifier. Add in some modern tone shaping control enhancements and the result is perhaps the finest VOX amplifier in the company’s 50 year history. What makes this amp some of the most collectible VOX in the world? Maybe it’s the way the amp naturally overdrives, almost breathing with a life unto its own. Dynamic changes in pick attack almost seem to be anticipated before you make them. Or maybe it’s the raw power of the creamy distortion as you crank the amp all the way up and slam down on a power chord. 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 of tones.EF86 Channel comes with a three position brilliance switch, a bass shift switch (to help keep the amp sounding crisp when played loud), and also a switch that goes from Pentode mode to Triode mode, so that you can have both flavours of original EF86 tone. The Top Boost channel controls are for Treble, Bass and Volume.There is also a Triode/Pentode switch to the power output amplifier stage—with this you have the half power capability of 7.5/15 watts output on the AC15 versions, and 15/30 watts on the AC30 versions.
TOP CUT switch this is/was the original (and only!) tone control on the early VOX amps and works as part of the power amp circuit by cutting the high frequency response. The high end is cut as you turn the control up, i.e. maximum control rotation is maximum cut.Power Output: 15 Watts RMS into 8 or 16 ohm loudspeaker load—selectable via rear panel switch.Valve complement: 1 x EF86, 3 x ECC83/12AX7, 2 x EL84, 1 x EZ81 (rectifier)Dimensions (W x H x D): 528 x 245 x 264 mm / 20.8 x 9.6 x 10.4 inchesWeight: 14.3 kg / 31.5lbs.Free shipping to US and Canada.US Buyers please allow a few more additional days for delivery.
