Vox Heritage Collection AC30H2 Handwired Guitar Combo Amplifier-30 Watts, 2x12

  

Featuring Celestion Alnic Blue Speakers. The Vox Heritage Collection AC30H2 features the prized EF86 preamp channel of 1958 with the 1963 Top Boost channel all in one amplifier. All handwired for greater attention to detail. Your search for the Holy Grail of VOX tone ends here.

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of VOX guitar amplifiers, VOx is pleased to introduce the latest in the new Heritage Collection range of hand-wired amplifiers - the AC30H2. Rather than just a typical reissue where a vintage amp is dusted off and copied, this amplifier, like the others in the Heritage Collection, 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. Channel 1 is the EF86 Preamp channel, and features two inputs wired in the traditional way providing 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. Power Output: 30 Watts RMS into 8 or 16 ohm loudspeaker load--selectable via rear panel switch. Valve complement: 1 x EF86, 3 x ECC83/12AX7, 4 x EL84, 1 x GZ34 (rectifier). Loudspeaker: 2 x 8 ohm VOX/Celestion Alnico Blue loudspeaker wired in series for 16 Ohms. Dimensions (W x H x D): 695 x 564 x 260 mm / 27.4 x 22.2 x 10.2 inches. Weight: 34.1 kg / 75.2 lbs.
