CHANNEL I – EF86 PREAMP

1. INPUT JACK SOCKETS

Guitar input jacks into the EF86 channel. These are wired in the traditional way that gives a 6dB

difference in gain between them. The socket nearer the front of the amp is the higher gain, the

one nearest the rear of the chassis is 6dB quieter.

2. VOLUME CONTROL

Controls the volume level of the EF86 channel.

3. BRILLIANCE SWITCH

This is based on the original tone altering control from the original AC15 which basically was Off

or had a massive bass cut function (which by its nature made the sound “brilliant”, but no bass).

We felt that the two original positions were too extreme, so we have expanded this to have three

positions, the new position being like the early AC30 “TREBLE” amps. So the function now is: –

OFF = flat response, 1 = treble (new position), 2 = brilliance (original circuit)

4. BASS SHIFT

Position 1 is the original bass response, whilst position 2 gives a tighter bass response which is

useful for high volume use to prevent the tone getting too muddy.

5. EF86 MODE

This 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 original mode and has a very

sweet high gain tone with not very much headroom.

CHANNEL II – TOP BOOST PREAMP

6. INPUT JACK SOCKETS

Guitar input jacks into the Top Boost channel. These are wired in the traditional way that gives a

6dB difference in gain between them. The socket nearer the front of the amp is the higher gain,

the one nearest the rear of the chassis is 6dB quieter.

7. VOLUME CONTROL

Controls the volume level of the Top Boost channel.

8. TREBLE CONTROL

Part of the 1963 Top Boost circuit, and strangely enough; this controls the treble spectrum of the

channel!

9. BASS CONTROL

Again part of the 1963 Top Boost circuit—and by the way, controls the bass spectrum.

NOTE ! For newcomers to using a classic VOX, the Top Boost bass & treble controls are extremely

interactive and small adjustments can make quite a radical change to the tone, as both controls

have a big influence on how the mid-range reacts. Our suggestion is to start off with both the

Bass & Treble controls in the mid-way position, and experiment from there. And another thing,

maximum treble can be very, very bright!

10. TOP CUT

This is/was the original (and only!) tone control on the early VOX amps and works as part of the

power amp circuit by cutting the high frequency response.

Please remember that it works in reverse to how we would expect it to in the modern age—the

high end is cut as you turn the control up, i.e. maximum control rotation is maximum cut.

11. O/P MODE SWITCH

This switch changes the power output valves/tubes from Pentode Mode which is the normal

operating mode of the power amplifier to Triode Mode which will halve the power output and will

alter the tone to be somewhat smoother. So Pentode = full power = 15 watts (AC15 versions) or

30 watts (AC30 versions). Triode = half power = 7.5 watts (AC15 versions) or 15 watts (AC30

versions).

12. POWER SWITCH

Turns the applied input mains voltage ON/OFF.

13. POWER LIGHT

Illuminates red when the amp is switched on.

WARNING ! Please ensure that your amplifier is connected to the correct mains power voltage—please

check the rear panel rating plate. If in doubt consult dealer.

WARNING ! NEVER operate this amplifier without the loudspeaker load being connected. Serious damage

can occur otherwise.

WARNING ! This amplifier must always be earthed (grounded) to prevent the risk of electrical shock.

Power Output: 15 Watts RMS into 8 or 16 ohm loudspeaker load—selectable via rear panel

switch.

Valve complement: 1 x EF86, 3 x ECC83/12AX7, 2 x EL84, 1 x EZ81 (rectifier).

Loudspeaker: Where fitted, is 1 x 16 ohm VOX/Celestion Alnico Blue loudspeaker.

(Please note that the loudspeaker is actually marked 15 ohm which is historically correct to the original 1960s version).
