Vox AC4TV8

Way back in 1961, VOX rolled out the AC4 amplifier. Nearly fifty years later, VOX is pleased to announce the AC4TV8. This up-to-date Class A version retains the distinctive EL84 power tube of the original and features a 12AX7 powered pre-amp, all driving the V112TV speaker cabinet fitted with a custom-made Celestion 8" inch speaker. The sophisticated sound is unmistakably VOX, delivering that distinctively British top-end tone. Simple and sexy, the AC4TV8 wears its pedigree proudly. One of the challenges confronting an all-tube amp is retaining a full tone at lower volumes. To solve this issue, the AC4TV8 features a built-in power attenuator, with 4 Watt, 1 Watt and ¼ Watt output levels – ensuring you never lose that classic tube tone, even at the lowest listening levels. These features enable the AC4TV8 to deliver clean, crunch or wonderfully saturated overdrive for a range of sonic options that is unmistakably VOX. The rich-sounding 8-inch speaker was developed in cooperation with the Celestion Corporation. A 16-ohm speaker output jack is also provided, so you can connect the AC4TV8 to a large speaker cabinet such as the VOX V412BN to perform using an even more powerful sound. The AC4TV8 features the "TV front" vintage look, as used on the first AC15. This amp, which appeared in 1958 is one of the traditional VOX amp designs, and was most recently used on the AC15H1TV from the 2007 Heritage Collection. It's a stylized retro look that's also an ideal complement to today's modern decor. It's retro, it's chic, it's all-tube and it's all VOX. So what are you waiting for?
