Two channels, endless possibilities
The Classic Plus is a channel-switching valve pre- and
power-amp guitar amplifier that can produce many
flavours of tone, from pristine clean to impressive high-
gains, and all points between. The two channels have a
variety of wide-ranging controls to help you create the
sound textures that you desire.
Channel 1 covers classic VOX AC30 tones, from
sparkling clean to raunchy overdrive. The EQ on this
channel is of the interactive passive format that is his-
toric to VOX Top Boost amplifiers and boasts the addition
of the famous Tone Cut control, which musically rolls off
high end as it is turned up.
Channel 2 picks up where Channel 1 leaves off, delivering
everything from modern blues and classic rock tones all
the way to high gain classic metal sounds and fluid lead
tones. While Channel 2’s EQ controls are also of the
interactive passive format, they are centered on different
frequencies to enhance the higher gain capabilities of
Channel 2. The Channel 2 Bright Switch brings in an
extra capacitor (switch down) across the Gain control to
boost the high-mid and upper frequencies and is partic-
ularly effective on lower gain settings. The Bright Switch
is great for giving extra bite and clarity to muddy sound-
ing humbuckers. The Fat Switch adds extra gain and
focuses the mid range of the guitar and amp, which helps
produce a “singing” tone when playing lead lines.
The Presence Control circuit is another unique feature to
the AC range. It combines the traditional active power
amp feedback circuit with a passive circuit within
Channel 2’s preamp. This not only focuses the Presence
boost, but, if you turn the control down, it will also intro-
duce a high frequency cut filter that can be used to de-
fuzz the preamp distortion, making it less aggressive and
sweeter. Since the channels of the Classic Plus are total-
ly independent, you do not need to compromise to achieve
your desired tonal palette. It’s almost like being able to
mix and match two completely different amplifiers!
Total, tonal control
The Clas
sic Plus range is packed with features and con-
trols that meld the best of VOX’s history with modern
conveniences. The Classic Plus features a long spring,
high-quality Spring R
everb with individual, foot-switch-
able level control for each channel, plus series FX loop-
ing with selectable level control and bypass switching.
The Bypas
s slide switch will either engage the loop
(switch ON) or disconnect the effects loop circuitry from
the rest of the amplifier (switch OFF). With the Loop
switch in the OFF position, the Send jack socket is still
operational and can therefore be used to send the signal
to another device such as a tuner or slave amplifier. The
Loop Level switch allows the loop to be used at two
different signal levels (approximately +4dBV (high) and
-10dBV (low)). This will enable a wide range of devices to
be connected to the amplifier. Channel switching and
on/off reverb control is managed with the supplied
VF002 dual footswitch.
Go direct
The Classic Plus range features extensive direct record-
ing and line out capabilities from both balanced XLR and
unbalanced 1/4" outputs with rotary level control and
ground lift switching. To enable great sounding connec-
tion into PA or recording equipment, the DI also features
a speaker emulating Low Pass Filter (LPF) network. This
can be switched into or out of circuit as required.
Another great plus of the DI circuit is that it is post the
power amplifier’s phase inverter valve, and before the
Output Master Volume control. No matter how loud or
quiet your stage level is, you have totally independent
control of the DI output level. You can even turn the
Master Volume totally off and use the DI output for
“silent” recording for those midnight sessions.
Power trio
The Classic Plus range is comprised of the 50-Watt
AC50CPH head (4 x 12AX7/ECC83, 2 x EL34B), the 100-
W
att A
C100CPH head (4 x 12AX7/ECC83, 4 x EL34B),
and the 50-Watt AC50CP2 combo (4 x 12AX7/ECC83, 2 x
EL34B). The AC50CP2 comes loaded with two VOX orig-
inal design 12" speakers voiced for maximum perform-
ance with the Classic Plus. Pair either of the heads with
VOX’s V412BN cabinet, and you’ve got an unbeatable
tone machine. No matter how you play, there’s a Classic
Plus for you. And with their combination of unmatched
tone, flexibility and ultra-cool looks, the Classic Plus
range is at home on any size stage. Plug in and hear them
roar!
