Modèles amplis:
AC15: Modeled after a 1962 VOX AC15
Amp specs: 1x12", 15 Watts
Valve specs: 1xEF86, 3xECC83s, 1xECC82, 1xEZ81, 2xEL84s
*CONTROL NOTE: The original AC15's Top Cut control works in the
opposite way you'd expect – it "cuts" when you turn it up! You'll be
glad to read that our model of the Top Cut control (the PRESENCE
knob) works in a much more logical fashion – turn it up for
more "sparkle", turn it down for less.
AC15TB: Modeled after a Korg re-issue VOX AC15TB (Top Boost)
Amp specs: 1x12" Celestion "Blue" speaker, 15 Watts
Valve specs: 5xECC83s, 1x5Y3GT, 2xEL84s
*CONTROL NOTE: The original has two tone controls – Treble and Bass.
So, as is the norm, the Valvetronix's TREBLE and BASS controls mimic
their namesakes while the MIDDLE ("neutral" at 12 o'clock) and
PRESENCE ("neutral" when turned off) add further tonal flexibility…
should you want it. To ensure maximum "Voxiness," we've made sure
that the PRESENCE control behaves exactly like the "Top Cut" on the
original AC15 – except in reverse ("off" = cut) to make it more
logical, just like on our AC15 model.
AC30: Modeled after a 1960 VOX AC30
Amp specs: 2x12" Celestion "Blue" speakers, 30 Watts
Valve specs: 4xECC83s, 1xECC82, 1xGZ34, 4xEL84's
*CONTROL NOTE: Once again, our PRESENCE control models the "Top Cut"
on the original AC30 exactly – except in reverse ("off" = cut) to
make it more logical, just like on our AC15 model.
AC30TB: Modeled after a VOX AC30TB (Top Boost)
Amp specs: 2x12" Celestion "Blue" speakers, 30 Watts
Valve specs: 5xECC83s, 1xECC82, 1xGZ34, 4xEL84s
*CONTROL NOTE: Once again, the PRESENCE control of our model acts as
the original's Cut (but in reverse: "off" = cut) while the GAIN,
TREBLE and BASS mimic the original's Volume, Treble and Bass
controls. The MIDDLE is an "extra" with 12 o'clock being
its "neutral" position
NERDY HISTORICAL NOTE: VOX initially called this their "Brilliance
Unit" but it quickly became known as "Top Boost." When Top Boost was
first introduced it was only available as a retrofit assembly. Even
though this modification was not particularly difficult to add, it
was beyond most folk (hey, I dunno about you, but messing around
with electricity is hardly my idea of fun!). Consequently, in 1964,
Top Boost was fitted to the AC30 as standard.

TONAL HINT: BLACK 2x12 is the perfect partner for ACOUSTIC (Acoustic
Guitar Simulator) in the Pedal section.
Tweed 1x12: Modeled after a Fender Tweed Deluxe
Amp specs: 1x12", 18 Watt
Tube specs: 1x12AY7, 2x12AX7's, 1x5Y3GT, 2x6V6's
Original Tone control turned all the way down (off) = BASS on full;
TREBLE and MIDDLE at 9 o'clock (PRESENCE "off".
Original Tone control turned up "full" (on 10) = TREBLE on full;
MIDDLE and BASS at 3 o'clock (PRESENCE "off".
NOTE: As the original doesn't have a Presence control, PRESENCE
is "neutral" when "off," but can be used to add "extra" sparkle and
cut to the model if you so wish.
TONAL HINT: To duplicate this "big sounding" little amp even more
accurately, turn the POWER SELECT to 15W on the AD60VT and 15W x 2
on the AD120VT.
Tweed 4x10: Modeled after a Fender Bassman 5F6-A
Amp specs: 4x10", 35-40 Watts
Tube specs: 1x12AY7, 2x12AX7's, 1xGZ34, 2x5881's
TONAL NOTE: Just like on the original, the Middle and Treble control
of TWEED 4x10 are highly interactive and high settings of the Middle
control automatically add treble to your sound. As a result, you may
want to turn down the Treble control as a counter measure.
Conversely, low Middle settings reduce treble so you might wanna
crank the Treble a little more in such instances.
