INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the VOX AC4C1-MINI!
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-
bo
urs, the AC4C1-MINI’s class A power stage can be cranked to stadium 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 or
iginal “Top Boost” preamp
circuit design, the AC4C1-MINI will give you the unmistakeable VOX tone that is loved
and desired by VOX fans and tone-chasers the world over!
ENJOY!
