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. ~ Fifty years later, the magic returns. ~ The AC15H Head & Cab: A detailed look. ~ The 15-watt AC15 Hand-wired head features two channels of unmistakable VOX tone driving a single 12" Celestion Alnico "Blue" speaker housed in a separate, matching speaker cab. ~ The valve complement is made up of 1 x EF86, 3 x ECC83/12AX7, 2 x EL84, and 1 x EZ81 (rectifier). ~ Channel 1 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 h lighting; dj gear; drum sticks; orchesta percussion; electric drums; acoustic drums; percussion; drums; midi; sound modules; groove stations; arrangers; portable keyboards; digital pianos; workstations; synths; electric bass; bass; amps; acoustic guitar; electric guitar; musical instruments;
