What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...) and what is the power delivered? What connections and what are the settings, the effects? * ...
so it&#39;s basic.
tube amp made in china
Sovtek 12AX7 and an EL84 in the same brand.
a volume knob
one tone knob
a selection knob power 4w/1w / 1 / 4 watt

an HP 10 inch with a 16 ohm output to connect a speaker

UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple? Gets it easy to sound good? The manual is clear and sufficient? * ...

amp easy to use, you turn the amp, heat is allowed a minute, we chose the power, it adjusts the volume and the tone.

there is no master volume, so the only way to get a distorted sound is to increase the volume. over the volume will be higher the sound will be saturated.
while important thing:

aps do believe that we can play in quiet or with this amp, even in 1 / 4 of a watt to do so saturated it must push the high volume it sounds, the neighbors might scream.

is an ideal amp for studio or for a small training (no sound clear in this case), or even for a concert if it is transplanted. ca low power can push it to its limits compared to most amps 30watts and over who are unusable even in concert (who happens to survive a VOX AC30 that the tab name is ... <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> )

alotrs or house for use without shit person, to od pedal and go.
in short the amp is super simple to use but suddenly it&#39;s not what is most convenient. it&#39;s plug and play, it suits me perfectly personal.


SOUNDS

Right for your style of music? With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play? What kinds of sounds you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat" ,....) what are the sounds you prefer, you hate? *
while in sound:

I use already uen fender telecaster classic player baja (ash body, maple neck and button, custom shop pickups and bridge brass). apart before I owned several amps, fender blues junior ltd jensen, orange tiny terror, Hugh & Kettner edition ac30cc2 blues and vox.

I susi a big fan of the vox but I sell my AC30 to buy a folk, suddenly I thought "why not try the ac4tv"

j&#39;apréhendais a bit. grown from a small amp "cheap" with a bowl of 10 when I was 2 to 12 HP ...

bah not this amp sounds great. we are really in the spirit vox, personally I find the clean properly without more, is not worth the ca clean of its big brother the AC30, maybe with the 12 bowls of it is doing better, but I n &#39;aps have had the opportunity to try "

regarding the sounds and saturated crunch I was really surprised. found the character really vox, a slight crunch fairly dry and sharp, at once precise and a bit runny (I do not know how to explain: S is a bit paradoxical), and when the volume goes up it starts getting thick fat, a bit messy, it&#39;s not the top for rhythmic to me because it gets too low and loaded it lacks precision, for filthy cons for lead is really terrible. the amp is very dynamic

with respect to the power selector is very effective, every time you decrease the power is lost in dynamic, clarity, brilliance and ca compresses, but the sound is all the same in EXCELLENT 1w and 4w. is 1 / 4 watts there is still a hell of a difference, the sound is much more compressed and less well defined, but hey ca remains pleasant all the same. The Tone knob adjusts the tone bah <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> depending on the selected power.
And then it pleasant for once to be able to push back an amp ca become deaf. (AC is still very strong)
ha yes I was forgotten, for an amp with a box of a size so small it does not sound at all boxy.

still an oversight <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
At the level of profit it goes further than the AC30


OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? What is so special that you like most and least? Have you tried many other models before buying it? How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice? * ...
I use this amp now for a little over a month. at a low power amps I had the opportunity to try the epiphone valve junior, the fender champion 600, peavey I know what his name and the ibanez valbee. I think it&#39;s the best by far.

for the person who seeks his vox for cheap and do not want a beast of power is really the right thing. for the price the amp is really top quality. value for money is very good to me. biensur I remake this choice with the experience, I might keep it long.

Most:

- Finish: looks nice, it&#39;s not top quality, but it looks quite durable, and it is really pretty

- Portable: it is really small and light, I take it everywhere

- Sound: for the price the quality is top and it sounds really mind vox

- Simplicity: an advantage for a certain inconvenience for other

- The HP really very good, it sounds a hell of run-time. According to the size it according to taste, one of 10 hp is not less than 12 hp is different. j&#39;aprehendais a bit and eventually it sounds very good, it sounds a little more roots than a 12-hp.

- The power selector is very effective.

- Price

the -:

- It is very basic, no loop, no equalization ...

- He could add an external speaker output into 8 ohms.
