AC15H1TVHERITAGE COLLECTIONghjk;df;ghjk;In limited edition hardwood and classiccream vinyl, the new AC15 handwiredcombo is the first offering in VOX’s newHeritage Collection.The EF86: The magical VOX toneWhat is it that makes EF86-based VOX amplifiers some ofthe most collectible in the world? Maybe it’s the way theamp naturally overdrives, almost breathing with a life ofits own. Dynamic changes in pick attack almost seem tobe anticipated before you make them. Or maybe it’s theraw power of the creamy distortion as you crank the ampall the way up and slam down on a power chord. Whateverit is, there is an undeniable magic about this period of VOXamplification. An age when the most simple of circuitsproduced some of the most complex of tones. Now in shortsupply, the EF86 Pentode tube is at the heart of this elusivetone. Fifty years later, the magic returns.The AC15H1TV: A detailed lookThe 15-watt handwired AC15 features two channels of VOXtone through a single 12" Celestion Alnico “Blue” speaker.The tube complement is made up of 1 x EF86, 3 xECC83/12AX7, 2 x EL84, and 1 x EZ81 (rectifier).Channel 1 is the EF86 Preamp channel and features twoinputs wired in the traditional way that gives them a 6 dBgain difference between them. A two-position BASS SHIFTswitch is included, with position 1 voiced to the originalvintage-correct bass response and position 2 voiced totighten the bass response and reduce any muddinessduring high volume use. The three-position BRILLIANCESWITCH 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 brilliancecircuit, which acts as a dramatic bass cut. The EF86 Modeswitch re-configures the EF86 valve from Pentode modeto Triode mode. Triode mode will give a lower gain tonewith higher headroom. Pentode mode is the famed originalmode and has a very sweet high gain tone with not verymuch headroom.Channel 2 is the Top Boost Preamp channel. LikeChannel 1, this channel includes two inputs wired with a6 dB gain difference between them. The Treble and Basscontrols are from the 1963 Top Boost circuit and areextremely interactive. Very minor adjustments of thesecontrols can yield dramatic changes in tone color.And true to VOX form is the Top Cut control, which cutshigh from either channel end as it is turned up.Flexible powerThe O/P Switch adds even more flexibility to this AC15. Thisswitch changes the power output valves from PentodeMode, which is the normal operating mode of the poweramplifier, to Triode Mode which halves the power output to7.5 Watts and will alter the tone to be somewhat smoother.The finishing touchesGreat care and research went into the cosmetics for thisspecial amplifier to meld vintage-correct attributes with somemodern revisions. These touches include a vintage “TV Front”cabinet, pre-1960 logo placement, and a vintage-inspiredcream vinyl covering. An extremely limited edition run ofamplifiers will be produced with oiled hardwood cabinets.Go to www.voxamps.co.uk for complete specifications!Location: Demark Street, London’s Tin PanAlley, is filled with specialist music shops andvisited daily by artists and celebrities.6
