Musikmesse 2010: Vox Release the AC4TVmini 4W Class A Tube Amp
Posted on 24 Mar 2010 10:16 to category : Instruments News
Vox launch the AC4TVmini 4W Class A Tube Amp legendary VOX vintage tone - preserved in the definitive mini tube amp, revealed at Musikmesse 2010.
The AC4TVmini joins the AC4TV, AC4TV8 and AC4TVH as the newest - and most diminutive - member of the modern AC4 family.
Based on the popular VOX AC4 from the 1960's, these all-tube practice amps have been factory-modded with a premium transformer and select components for optimum tone.
Equipped with an original VOX design 6.5" speaker, the AC4TVmini is an easy way to enjoy the serious vintage sound you expect from VOX.
The AC4TVmini improves on the hardware of its vintage counterpart. This up-to-date Class A version retains the distinctive EL84 power tube of the original and features a 12AX7 powered pre-amp, delivering the pure British tone that's loved by all.
By adjusting the volume and tone settings, you can create a broad range of tones - from a sweet, clean sound to that distinctive VOX overdrive sound.
Switchable output level: Crank it up and turn it down!
In the past, the only way to obtain great-sounding distortion using a single volume knob was to simply crank the volume.
The AC4TVmini provides an attenuator switch that allows the output power to be set at 4 Watts, 1 Watt or even 1/10th of a Watt.
This convenient and ear-saving feature allows the AC4TVmini to create a real, musically satisfying distortion - even at the lowest power setting.
You'll be able to enjoy playing to your heart's content with your favorite tone late at night, in your dorm room - wherever!
Extremely portable, the AC4TVmini is also ideal for recording, jamming with friends, rehearsals, and more.
Today's modern AC4 Series - including the AC4TVmini - borrows the retro-chic "TV" front styling that first appeared on the classic 1958 AC15.
This vintage VOX design is still in use on today's AC15HTV from the VOX Heritage Collection. Stylish, clean, and classic, the AC4TVmini will look great anywhere your music takes you.
