The AC30’s Top Boost sound has fascinated guitarists around the world for over fifty years. Capable of massive crunch or the clean, classic “chime,” this Top Boost tone is the essence of VOX’s identity. The AC4C1-BL now delivers this unbeatable sound in a portable, compact body.

Gain control, Bass and Treble tone controls, and a Master Volume allow any player to easily dial up a thoroughbred valve tone. The Gain control goes from dynamic clean tones to rich, warm overdrive with the Bass and Treble adding further tone shaping.

On the back panel you will also find an extension speaker jack. This lets you connect up to another 16 ohm guitar cab, effectively turning the AC4C1-BL into and all-valve 4-watt head.

Remarkable not only for its authentic VOX sound, the AC4C1-BL is also captivating in its appearance. The rich, blue vinyl and Tygon fret cloth date back to 1963. Completing this vintage ensemble is an “old-school” Bakelite handle. Boasting the highest levels of design sensibilities, the long-awaited VOX AC4C1-BL offers an easy way for anyone to achieve the legendary AC30 Top Boost tone.
