North Coast Music thought that many of you would like to have your AC-50CPH amp head have a bit more of a classic Vox vibe and appearance, so we have revised the front panel of the AC-50CPH to have either brown or black Vox grill cloth and a gold fascia strip. The 60s look is completed by installing the smaller NCM-026 Vox logo, as Vox used in the amp heads back in the day. These modifications do not affect your warranty in any way. North Coast is completing this cosmetic upgrade for less money on an AC-50CPH head purchased here than you would pay for just the grill cloth and gold fascia strip if you copleted this modification yourself.

Channel One is based on the legendary AC-30 Top Boost preamp

Everything you would expect from a classic AC-30 Top Boost amp can be found in this channel from sparkling clean to raunchy overdrive. The EQ on this channel is of the interactive passive format that is historically correct to the AC-30 Top Boost amplifier. It also includes the "Tone Cut" control found on AC-30 amplifiers. This control musically rolls off the high end of the amp as it is turned up. A Gain Conrol, Middle Control, and Reverb complete the channel, offering even more tonal possibilities.


Channel Two introduces the tones of the later British "stack amplifiers" to Vox

Channel Two picks up where Channel One leaves off, delivering the tones made popular by the towering later 60s British stack amplifers. Here you will find everything from modern blues and classic rock tones all the way to high gain classic metal sounds and fluid lead tones. While the tone controls in Channel Two are also the interactive passive format as Channel One, they are centered on different frequencies to create a larger tonal pallete for the amp. A Bright Switch boosts the mid to high frequencies and is great for giving extra bite to muddy sounding humbucking pickups. A Fat Switch adds extra gain and helps to produce a "singing" tone to your guitar when playing leads. The Presence Control not only produces a presence boost when engaged, it also introduces a high frequency cut filter if turned down. This can be used to "defuzz" the preamp section, making it less aggressive and sweeter.

It's almost like being able to mix and match two completely different amplifiers!



A Master Volume control allows you to
keep the total level of the amp easily in check.
Whether you connect to an 8 ohm or a 16 ohm load,
the amp will produce 100 watts of pure tube power.



On the rear panel, an effects loop and a direct out with adjustable level and both a traditional 1/4" or XLR out can be found.
