VOX AC30HH Head

At the heart of this amp is an EF86 Pentode valve circuit (circa 1960) in the preamp channel combined with the 1963 Top Boost channel, which are then coupled with VOX’s modern tone shaping controls. The EF86 Channel’s original Brilliance switch has been modified to three positions instead of two, a Bass Shift switch has been added to help preserve tightness, and a switch that toggles between Pentode mode and Triode mode has been included so that both variations of original EF86 tone are available. An O/P switch (Triode/Pentode) has also been included, enabling half power operation.
