Amp lamps (1 12AX7, EL84 1) for a power of 4W, switchable to 1 W or 1 / 4 watts for s'entraner night.
Rglages: volume (in fact, gain), Tone (to add shine) and Output Level (4W, 1W, 1/4W). No effect. Output to connect a speaker into 16 ohms.
Dimensions: 35 cm x 21.5 cm x 37.5 cm. Weight: 9 kg.

The AC4TV is really cute. The Tolex and grill cloth crme Brown raised the Diamond logo are dor fly. weight exudes good quality everything is within reason for a transport arm's length on long journeys. The switch seems to good quality and the potentiomtres. Who would have said there is little that a Made in Vit Nam would look if fire? Be careful though, carpentry is agglomr finish and some points could be worked more, as fitting the Tolex bevel on the front grip or white plastic. I do not put that 9 / 10 because of these dtails. The rest is flawless.

UTILIZATION

Plug & play. Designed to be amplifier carrying any o.

SOUNDS

I plug a Telecaster and I scratched a few chords. The key is l: the behavior of the amp reminds me of that of the normal channel of the AC30 CC dlivre a warm and full of characters. With the Tone at least, the sound is a little dark. Grows up, it becomes not as bright but still bright with the switch of his great ERRF. CONTRL is the gain with the volume knob: the overdrive starts at the del 1 / 4. It is progressive and is trs trs musical and full of harmonics on the race. Pushed back, the AC4 can even make a good studio amp for a vintage sound that is reminiscent of early Led Zeppelin albums. I am also sr fast it will be used for albums pros.
- Yield 4W: the volume 1 / 4, we have a clear sound with a lightweight dj breakup. It should decrease the volume of the guitar to find a pristine clean. I try a little Norvegian Wood: the performance is sufficient to support a voice powerful enough unamplified. I am delighted!
EDIT: I bought a deuxime. Splitter with a buffer, the diffusion of sound are becoming more, Dfine better, with more body. With a time limit Stereo and / or a tremolo pan in addition, it is really fun trs. The shadow of the Edge is looming on the horizon ...

OVERALL OPINION

The AC4 fills my specifications: a mini amp that sounds lamps, portable anywhere playable bottom Epargne ears of your neighbors and even those of your family thanks the att Intgr power attenuator. But it is also a vritable studio amp, you can also add sound small scnes (caf conc ') or use carrment live with a good sound and good returns. The AC4 TV is an instant classic that stands out as a (the?) Of the best choices currently available in its class of all-tube amp under 250 euros.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cons:</span>
- No cover provided
- The Tone could go a little further into the bright.
- Outside the cab must be in 16 ohms
- We immediately wanted to buy more

EDIT: Hi-Fi for our answer to the question of the CONTRL Tone I will quote the test on guitariste.com Doc Loco: This tone is not used to sculpt the sound. It is used to find the high that you lose with attnuateur power and / or distortion. 4 W, it is useful to 0 1 / 2, 1 W, 1 / 2 3 / 4, 1 / 4 watt, 3 / 4 up the bottom.
