Say hello to a familiar face: the new VOX AC4TV.
Way back in 1961, VOX rolled out the AC4 amplifier. Nearly fifty years later, VOX is pleased to announce the AC4TV, the all-tube practice amp 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 a custom-made Celestion 10 inch speaker. The sophisticated sound is unmistakably VOX, delivering that distinctively British top-end tone.
Main Features:
Affordable all-valve design
Switchable output levels 4, 1 & 1/4 Watt output levels
Quality vintage Vox styling
External speaker output
Simple and sexy, the AC4TV 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 AC4TV features a built-in power attenuator with 4 Watt, 1 Watt and 1/4 Watt output levels ensuring you never lose that classic tube tone, even at the lowest listening levels. Want more? The AC4TV also adds a 16 Ohm speaker output, allowing you to add an additional cabinet such as the VOX412BN and state your sonic signature with authority. It's retro, it's chic, it's all-tube and it's all VOX. So what are you waiting for?

I bought this model in 2012 at Port Coquitlam L & M. My go to amp at home. It gets better with age, although the original tubes have exceeded their time. I have more than enough amps and could stand to sell a couple but I don't I'll ever part with this, it's just to darn practical.

I have owned this for 2 years and bought it used from a local musician. It has gotten me hooked on the Vox sound (and small tube amps in general). The simplicity is the best part as there is nothing in the way to color the sound. At 1/4 watt this little gem breaks up soooo nicely and when you are at 4 watts you can still wake up your neighbours (careful with that). I really do think it is money well spent. Now if I could just find a VOX V412BN cab to hook into I would be in heaven.

I've been playing for decades, and I've used a lot of amps. I got this so I could practice at home. It was still plenty loud, even at 1/4 watt. I took it to a jam to check out the volume at club level. Excellent. No problem at all onstage (amps were mic'd). This is my favourite amp right now, and it's a great idea. Looking at getting the extension cabinet, and maybe a second amp.

I've had this amp for a couple of days now and I'm really happy with it. It has a clean, warm sound and compliments my effects like delay, reverb, overdrive etc, really well. I plan on getting the external 12" cab for it for a little more sound. It would have been nice to have a head phone jack for those late night tinkerings but other than that I find no flaws.

This, is my humble estimation, is/(Was?) the BEST "practice" amp out there. Excellent quality, amazing value for money, (and with some "time" effects and an OCD distortion pedal ...pfffff...nevermind!!). Even for "louder" playing, i.e. with your jam buddies who have larger amps...this little so-n-so, mic'd sounds, (again, in my humble estimation), every bit as good as amps costing 800-1200 bucks. That new "blue" 4W amp has some BIG shoes to fill.

I use this amp with the V112TV cabinet. It's the 12" version of the 10" that comes with the amp. The 12" has more range, and definitely louder and more bass. For a lead solo, you could just unplug the 12" and instantly have a higher timber that really cuts through. Also just bring the amp by itself to the cottage etc. to save space.
I've tried this amp with a few other cabinets and they don't really sound much better than the one voiced for it (the V112TV) which is only $170.00. However the V112TV cabinet sounds really dirty and grungy with a more powerful and better amp. So swapping around is the way to go for different sounds.
My recommendation is to have use of a reverb, chorus/flanger and distortion pedal with this amp. Buy the reverb first and go from there. Without a bit of reverb, this amp sounds really dry.

This is a great amp that's loud enough to play at a coffee shop. Very simple but classic Vox tube sound. The attenuator is a nice feature as the volume is the gain control so it has to be turned up before it distorts at all. I also recommend checking out the Lil' Night Train if you're looking for a small amp.

There's not much to this little amp, no effects, no EQ, no Tremolo, reverb, etc. It's super simple. However, for what it is, it packs a whollop. The sound it delivers has certainly surprised me, even at the 1/4-watt setting. For it's size, it delivers a warm tone and gets 'dirty' quite quickly. However, it's also very responsive to your touch and intricacies. It's not really a 'metal' high gain amplifier, unless you put a distortion pedal in front of it. With a high-gain pedal, it'll deliver, with the ability to translate your nuances for you and the rest of your listeners to hear.
My only minor preference would be to have it loaded with a Celestion 25-watt G10M Greenback. That, powered by the amp's EL84's and 12AX7 would make this little buddy SING!
However, having said that, the BEST feature is the 16-Ohm extension jack to allow you to plug into a cabinet of your choice. This feature alone allows greater versatility, especially if you already own a few different cabinets. This makes this Class A amp a great amp for studio use -- it's not so big in size or wattage, but it's huge in sound and versatility!
I recommend it to anyone regardless of playing ability, or use. If you can afford a small quality tube amplifier, pick this one up. It'll enhance your playing and will give you years of good tone!

Excellent for beginners looking for a nice amp. Quiet enough for room playing, but packs a punch if needed. Only negative is that is doesn't have many features.

I've had this amp for 2 years and it has been great. Simple , fantastic tone, and on the 1/4 watt setting you can crank it up till it sizzles in a small room.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
