Vox AC4HW1 hand-wired Ltd Ed

Hand-wired, limited edition and discontinued version of the Vox AC4 in mint condition.

The Vox AC4HW1 offers all the chime and sparkle for which Class A amps have now become legendary.

A hand-wired, all-tube amp that proves big tone doesn’t always come in big packages. I’ve been testing this little beast out in my home studio, and I’ve gotta say… it might just be your new favorite low-watt amp.

If you’ve ever dreamed of that classic Vox sparkle — you know, the stuff of Beatles, Queen, and early Radiohead tones — but didn’t want to blow out your windows (or your neighbors’ sanity), this amp hits the sweet spot. Four watts of glorious, British-voiced tube tone. No digital nonsense. No menus. Just plug in, turn the volume knob, and let it rip.

EL84-driven amp with Top Boost circuit, with a Celestion G12 Green and a birch ply cab in classic fawn and diamond cloth livery.

Volume, bass, treble, gain, hi and lo inputs, power on/off, a proper red jewel light, plus a mini-toggle labelled cool and hot.

Very interactive controls and the treble control really affects the mids more than any other amp I've tried.

Selecting Hot bypasses the tone pots for a thicker, more powerful sound Brian May has his AC30s modified in a similar way, for a pure, unfettered signal path.

The 12-inch speaker and turret-board wiring bring greater breadth and openness to the HW's output. In Cool mode, the treble and bass introduce shimmer and roundness, while the gain pot brings on full, meaty distortion

There's enough headroom for live rehearsals and small gigs, especially if you throw a mic in front and reinforce the sound through the PA. And if your rehearsal studio has a spare 4x12 knocking around, plug in your AC4 and stun everyone with its capabilities.

And that's the beauty of this amp: everything is available, from great pop tones into blues and classic rock territory. The sounds are so uncomplicated and instantly 'there' that you can augment it with your favourite stompboxes to create an amp that sounds like you.

The AC4HW1 has the advantage of a bigger cabinet than its Chinese-made sibling the Vox AC4C1-BL, as well as birch ply construction, turret-board wiring and, of course, that Celestion Greenback.

A great grab-and-go tone machine and, while there's no reverb, it has wonderful clean and drive tones, all imbued with chiming Class A Vox tone.
