VOX AC4TV
Posted on 04. Oct, 2009 by Drew in Gear
For practicing at living-room-approved volumes, this little amp is the perfect solution: Great all-tube tone in a flexible package. It’s got a built-in attenuator, so you can switch between 4, 1, and 1/4 watts (for REALLY quiet playing). It’s got a 10″ Celestion speaker and looks good enough that P’ doesn’t mind it sitting out where company might see it.

VOX AC4TV 4 watt, all-tube amplifier
The only thing this amp was missing was reverb, so I bought a little Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano pedal and stuck it on the back. Now it’s got everything you could ask for from a little amp. I’ve even been bringing it to cafe gigs where the proprietor wants us to keep the volume down. It sounds great!

The reverb pedal is held onto the back with heavy-duty Velcro
