To commemorate their 50th Anniversary VOX guitar amplifiers are pleased to introduce the latest in the new Heritage Collection range of hand-wired amplifiers – the AC30H2L.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Combining the prized EF86 preamp
channel of 1958 with the 1963 Top
Boost channel, adding 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 which
gives 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.
It has 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 colour.
And true to VOX form is the Top Cut control,
 which cuts high from either channel end
as it's turned up.
 
The O/P Switch changes the power output
valves from Pentode Mode, which is the
 normal operating mode of the power
amplifier, to Triode Mode which halves the
power output to 15 watts and at the same
time offering smoother tonal characteristics.
 
Housed in an oil finished, hand-crafted
African Mahogany cabinet, this is the
official limited edition Anniversary model,
and only 500 will be made.
