The VOX AC30H2 is a prestigious, limited-edition hand-wired amplifier released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of VOX guitar amplifiers. Renowned for reintroducing the legendary EF86 pentode preamp tube to the modern stage, this amplifier is widely considered one of the finest-sounding units in VOX’s 50-year history, meticulously replicating the magic of late 1950s and early 1960s British tone.
The EF86 Pentode Magic
At the heart of the AC30H2’s iconic sound is the elusive EF86 preamp tube, celebrated for its unique harmonic character and natural, touch-sensitive overdrive:
- EF86 Channel (Channel 1): Offers an authentic vintage experience. It includes a two-position Bass Shift switch (vintage-correct vs. tightened bass) and a three-position Brilliance Switch (flat, "Treble" amp voicing, or classic bass-cut brilliance).
- Pentode/Triode Mode: The EF86 can be reconfigured via a mode switch, allowing players to toggle between the famed, high-gain, sweet-sounding Pentode mode and a lower-gain, higher-headroom Triode mode.
Top Boost Channel and Power Flexibility
Beyond its vintage-voiced EF86 channel, the AC30H2 provides the classic professional versatility expected of an AC30:
- Top Boost Channel (Channel 2): Features the classic 1963 Top Boost circuit with interactive Treble and Bass controls, allowing for dramatic tonal sculpting with even minor adjustments.
- Top Cut Control: A master tone-shaping control that trims high-end frequencies across both channels, perfect for smoothing out bright guitars.
- Flexible Power Output: An O/P switch allows players to toggle the power amp valves between Pentode mode (full 30 watts) and Triode mode (halving the output to 15 watts for smoother, more manageable saturation).
