AC15 Heritage

[12guitdown]

(I posted this in the amps and cabs section too.) I've had one of these, AC15H, for a few months now and pretty much use only the TB side. The EF side is microphonic no matter what. Not bad but I can still hear it even with the EF's side volume all the way down.

So can I remove the ef tube and only use the TB side without frying anything?

Should be just fine.

Alternatively, you could get a Dario miniwatt NOS Ef86, and stick it in there. You won't be wanting to play the TB side all the time after that !!

Man without the EF86 why have a Vox.
Get the Dario or even better a Tesla or Tele or Mullard longplate and have at it.

Make sure you have the tube selected and tested for low microphonics for a couple bucks more

about 50% of the current russian EF86 tubes are bad out of the box

A stabilizer ring is one way to tame the tube

I swear by these about $14 http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/guitar.htm
