Congratulations on your purchase of the VOX AC4C1/AC4C1-TV/AC4C1-12!
Based on the legendary VOX Top Boost circuit, this is the perfect balance between com-
pact size and killer sound. Designed to give you rocking tone without waking the neigh-
bours, the AC4C1/AC4C1-TV/AC4C1-12's class A power stage can be cranked to sta-
dium tour saturation levels without leaving your sitting room or home studio! A luxury
which is hard to find in an all-tube amp.
Using the same tube compliment and circuit topology as the original "Top Boost" preamp
circuit design, the AC4C1/AC4C1-TV/AC4C1-12 will give you the unmistakeable VOX
tone that is loved and desired by VOX fans and tone-chasers the world over!

This controls the preamp volume and will determine the amount of
preamp distortion. For a clean sound, the knob should be set some-
where before 12 o'clock and for more distortion... crank it!
(NOTE: Because of the nature of the design of this amplifier, it may
take a few minutes until the circuit becomes stable after the power is
turned on. Some noise might occur during this time but it soon disap-
pears.)
This controls the low frequencies in your sound—from thin and light
when turned down (counter clockwise) to warm and fat when turned
up full (clockwise) and all points in-between.
This controls the high frequencies in your sound—from soft and
smooth when turned down (counter clockwise) to bright and cutting
when cranked (clockwise) and all points in-between.
This controls the overall volume of your amplifier and because this is
a single ended, class A design it will also have an effect on the amount
of distortion in the power amp.
