Get That Vox Sound for Recording & Practicing!
Let's face it. When you're practicing or recording with your high-wattage all-tube amplifier, it's too hard to get those classic tube tones at listening levels. The Vox AC4TV8, however, solves that problem. Already a 4-watt amp, the Vox AC4TV8 gives you incredible tone when you need to crank it to reasonable levels. And for tremendous tone at really manageable levels, you can use its built-in power attenuator to take it from four watts down to just one watt, then down to just 1/10" watt. It's the perfect partner for late-night recording sessions, when you don't want to wake up the neighbors. And at under 16 lbs., it's also a great amp to take to practices and smaller gigs.

So, what about its tone? Thanks to the AC4TV8's distinctive EL84 power tube (found on the original 1961 AC4), complemented by a 12AX7 powered preamplifier that works in tandem with the EL84 to drive a custom-made Celestion 8" speaker, you can expect this one to sound retro-chic! Of course, that's also the vibe you're going to get, as the Vox AC4TV8 features a 1958 AC15-style "TV" front design, with Vox's signature diamond grille cloth. All in all, this impressive combination makes the AC4TV8 one of the best bang-for-your-buck combos available.
