AC4TV8 Classic A Tube Amplifier
All Tube VOX tone to go
Way back in 1961, VOX rolled out the first AC4 amplifier. Nearly fifty years later, VOX is pleased to announce the AC4TV8 – the compact, all-tube practice amp. Not simply a re-issue, AC4TV8 is an up-to-date rethinking of the tube circuit that matches today's needs.
Main Features
Compact all-tube amp provides real vacuum tube amp sound
enjoyment
Output Power Attenuator provides full gain distortion – even
at low listening levels
Robust sounding 8-inch speaker developed in cooperation
with the Celestion, the trusted name in speakers
Distinctive "TV front" design based on a motif from the
VOX AC15 amplifier from the 1950s
Bringing the AC4TV up to date
The VOX AC4 appeared in 1961 as a 4-watt all-tube amp, and in spite of its compact body, its true VOX tone earned it a favorable reputation. The AC4TV8 uses the classic combination of a 12AX7 tube in the modified preamp and an EL84 tube in the power amp. The power amp is driven with a Class A circuit to deliver a wide variety of tones ranging from that clean British sound to the distinctive VOX overdrive that everyone loves.
Three level power attenuation
In the past, the only way to achieve meaningful distortion from an amp with a single volume control was to raise the volume. The AC4TV8 provides three levels of power attenuation; 4W, 1W, and 1/10 W. Even at the minimum setting of 1/10 W, the AC4TV8 can provide that great tube distortion. This means that you can enjoy your favorite tone even when playing or recording in your own room or late at night.
Speaker developed in cooperation with the Celestion corporation
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.
Retro "TV Front" styling
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.
Add your hot sound to a late night demo; sit in at your favorite club; jam with friends; cut tracks across town – or do it all in a single day! The Night Train NT15H is your new best friend. Whenever and wherever, Night Train is ready to deliver that smooth and satisfying all-tube sound. We understand that you don’t want to choose between killer sound and total convenience. And with Night Train you never will.
If Looks Could Kill
Night Train is one sexy beast. Solid enough to inspire confidence, Night Train weighs less than seventeen pounds - and the “armored lunchbox” dimensions provide extreme portability. Finished with a cool chrome mirror-finish, the signature VOX diamond design reveals that inspiring vacuum tube glow. And of course, the Night Train NT15H includes its own padded carry case to protect your investment.
True Tube Power
The sound is pure VOX. Inside, a pair of EL84 tubes deliver on the tube power promise. Two 12AX7 tubes drive the preamp stage with both power and clarity. This is the same winning tube complement as the classic VOX AC15. From chime-like clean tones to the warmest overdrive, there is no mistaking that harmonic richness of pure tube performance.
Dual Nature
A single switch lets you select between Pentode or Triode tube operation. In the Pentode mode, Night Train delivers a full 15 watts of power. In the Triode mode, the power is cut to 7.5 watts. The Triode mode also relaxes the tube power stage, letting that silky-smooth, mellow tube character shine through.
Preamp Pizzazz
Night Train greets you with a clear, simple panel design; offering the familiar Gain and Volume controls. The Tone controls include Treble, Middle and Bass, allowing you to dial up just the right character for your individual, signature tone. In addition, the preamp section features a mode switch, offering both BRIGHT and THICK options. The BRIGHT mode accentuates the high-frequency components for a clear, ringing tone; the THICK setting bypasses the tone circuit to boost the gain and create a chunkier, heavier sound.
Cabinet Convenience
Equipped with both 8Ω and 16Ω speaker jacks, Night Train can be used immediately with nearly any speaker cabinet. Naturally, we recommend VOX extension cabinets. This extra measure of versatility is just one more example of why Night Train may be the one amp you never leave at home. To complement the Night Train, both cosmetically and tonally, a specially voiced 1 x 12″ speaker cabinet (V112NT) is available. The V112NT weights in at just 11kg, compact yet full sounding, the cabinet features a Custom VOX Celestion 'Greenback' speaker. The Night Train V112NT cabinet will be available Summer 2009.

AC4TVH and V112TV Cab
Say hello to a familiar face – the new VOX AC4TVH / V112TV Head & Cab.
Way back in 1961, VOX rolled out the AC4 amplifier. Nearly fifty years later, VOX is pleased to announce the AC4TVH & V112TV – the all-tube mini practice stack with remarkable self control. 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 12 inch speaker. The sophisticated sound is unmistakably VOX, delivering that distinctively British top-end tone.
12" Celestion VX12 custom speaker fitted in the V112TV cab.
Simple and sexy, the AC4TVH wears its pedigree proudly. The cabinetry features the same “TV” front design first used on the classic 1958 AC15, and still in use on today’s AC15H1TV Heritage Series. One of the challenges confronting an all-tube amp is retaining a full tone at lower volumes. To solve this issue, the AC4TVH 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 AC4TVH to deliver clean, crunch or wonderfully saturated overdrive for a range of sonic options that is unmistakably VOX.
It’s retro, it’s chic, it’s all-tube and it’s all VOX. So what are you waiting for?

Your search for the Holy Grail of VOX tone ends here. To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of VOX guitar amplifiers, VOX is pleased to introduce the first of a new Heritage Collection of hand-wired amplifiers– the AC15H1TV. Rather than just a typical reissue where a vintage amp is dusted off and copied, this amplifier, like the others in the Heritage Collection, transports you through the golden age of VOX tone, combining the prized EF86 preamp channel of 1958 with the 1963 Top Boost channel all in one amplifier. Add in some modern tone shaping control enhancements and the result is perhaps the finest VOX amplifier in the company's 50 year history.
The EF86: The magical VOX tone What is it that makes EF86 based VOX amplifiers some of the most collectible in the world? Maybe it's the way the amp naturally overdrives, almost breathing with a life unto its own. Dynamic changes in pick attack almost seem to be anticipated before you make them. Or maybe it's the raw power of the creamy distortion as you crank the amp all the way up and slam down on a power chord. Whatever it is, there is an undeniable magic about this period of VOX amplification. An age when the most simple of circuits produced some of the most complex of tones. Now in short supply, the EF86 Pentode tube is at the heart of this elusive tone. Fifty years later, the magic returns.
Click to Enlarge
The 15-watt AC15 Handwired features two channels of VOX tone through a single 12" Celestion Alnico “Blue” speaker. The tube complement is made up of 1 x EF86, 3 x ECC83/12AX7, 2 x EL84, and 1 x EZ81 (rectifier).
Channel 1 is the EF86 Preamp channel, and features two inputs wired in the traditional way that gives them a 6dB gain difference between them. A two-position BASS SHIFT switch is included, with position 1 voiced to the original vintage-correct bass response and position 2 voiced to tighten the bass response and reduce any muddiness during high volume use. The three-position BRILLIANCE SWITCH provides flat response when in the OFF position. Position 1 is a new position voiced like the early AC30 “Treble” amps, while position 2 is the original brilliance circuit, which acts as a dramatic bass cut. The EF86 Mode switch re-configures the EF86 valve from Pentode mode to Triode mode. Triode mode will give a lower gain tone with higher headroom. Pentode mode is the famed original mode and has a very sweet high gain tone with not very much headroom.
Channel 2 is the Top Boost Preamp channel. Like Channel 1, this channel includes two inputs wired with a 6 dB gain difference between them. The Treble and Bass controls are from the 1963 Top Boost circuit and are extremely interactive. Very minor adjustments of these controls can yield dramatic changes in tone color.
And true to VOX form is the Top Cut control, which cuts high from either channel end as it is turned up.
Flexible power The O/P Switch adds even more flexibility to the AC15. This switch changes the power output valves from Pentode Mode, which is the normal operating mode of the power amplifier, to Triode Mode which halves the power output to 7.5 watts and will alter the tone to be somewhat smoother.
The finishing touches Great care and research went into the cosmetics for this special amplifier to meld vintage correct attributes with some modern revisions. These touches include a vintage “TV Front” cabinet, pre-1960 logo placement, and a vintage inspired cream vinyl covering. An extremely limited edition run of 400 amplifiers will be produced with oiled mahogany cabinets.

AC 30 Custom Classic The new AC30 Custom Classic is the culmination of over 45 years of high quality, guitar amplifier design and fabrication. VOX has taken the best AC30 designs and added a number of useful, very cool features to create the most tonally flexible and affordable AC30 to date!
History in the making
Why has the AC30 been an icon for decades? It's the amplifier's unique, warm tone, its player friendly "feel" and its primeval circuit design. With its straightforward "what you see is what you get" control format, the AC30 was a hit with artists from the very beginning. Back then, VOX owned the '60s "British invasion" and to this day the AC30 is widely used by all kinds of guitarists performing in a huge range of musical styles.
With a number of modern enhancements including blendable channels, a true bypass FX loop, spring reverb and master volume, to name just a few, the new AC30 Custom Classic is an evolution of the original that is sure to become a classic in its own right.
Attaining the highest standards
In order to achieve tonal nirvana, this AC30 is manufactured in our vertically integrated manufacturing facility. What this means for you is that we have total control of the design, the quality and the sound of your amplifier. Our factory is capable of many processes not found in most guitar amplifier factories. We design and manufacture our own transformers, speakers (except for the venerable VOX "Blue" & "Neodog" which are manufactured by Celestion), cabinets and we build our own electronics. All components have been designed, manufactured or selected so that the performance and sound of your AC30 Custom Classic is second to none.
An evolution in tone
When we set out to create the AC30 Custom Classic, we started from our most highly acclaimed model to date, the AC30 Hand Wired. With twin inputs (high and Low) and a Master Volume circuit, these amps offer highly interactive Bass and Treble tone controls, as well as the VOX Tone Cut control (which varies the presence in the power amp section) for even greater tonal variety. We also included Classic Tremolo with variable Depth control and a spring reverb with Level and Tone controls as well as a Dwell switch.
Two blendable channels, a first
Not only does the AC30 Custom Classic include two channels, it also offers the ability to blend those channels together (a first for the AC30!). The Top Boost Channel serves up that classic AC30 tone, while our new expanded Normal Channel now offers two modes, Normal and Bright, which allow you to achieve the sounds of an assortment of vintage AC30s. Use the channels individually or blend them together for increased tonal flexibility to create a unique sound and feel that's all your own.
Control freaks rejoice!
The AC30 Custom Classic is fully equipped with well thought out and easy to use controls. With a Custom/Normal EQ switch, Tone control and Dwell switch for the spring reverb, Master Volume, fully variable Tremolo on all channels and a true bypass Effects Loop, we've thought of everything! We've even included a switchable cathode resistor that lowers power output and increases tube life. Of course, the AC30 Custom Classic comes with our standard controls like Treble, Bass, Tone, Volume, Standby and more. Multiple configurations
Not only is the AC30 Custom Classic the most flexible AC30 to date, it comes in our most expansive array of models ever to cover a variety of needs and player preferences.
