VOX AC10C1 AC10 10 WATT GUITAR TUBE AMP

Classic Vox Tone in a Compact All-tube Amp

The AC10 was one of the first amplifiers to bear the VOX name and was available only for a short period of time in the early 1960s. Long adored for his ability to achieve rich, articulate tube tone at very manageable volumes, the AC10 has become a highly coveted piece of VOX history since it's discontinuation in 1965. In 2015, VOX was proud to reintroduce the AC10C1 and provide players with an easy way to enjoy the legendary VOX top boost sound. Equipped with reverb and a master volume, the AC10C1 is the perfect companion for the home, studio or stage.

From chimey cleans to classic Top-Boost-style crunch, the AC10C1 delivers all-tube tones with legendary Vox panache! This amp drives 10 powerful watts through a Celestion V-type speaker — a combination that Vox fanatics find offers the iconic British-style amplifier tone of its bigger brothers, but at recording- and practice-level volumes. The no-nonsense control scheme of a master volume, a 2-band EQ, and a gain knob allows you to dial in searing tones at bedroom-appropriate levels. However, don’t be fooled by its size! The AC10C1 really cranks when pushed to its limits, and it’s more than suitable for coffee shop gigs and applications where a larger amp might be too much. Finally, the built-in digital reverb adds some space to your sound, and it beautifully captures the magic of a traditional spring reverb tank.

Classic Vox Top Boost tones

Finally, you can have the sought-after Vox Top Boost tone in an all-tube and affordable combination. The Vox AC10C1 gives you that legendary Top Boost tone in the perfect studio-sized package. This expressive amp lets you also dial in clean chime all the way to heavy crunch. A simple 2-band EQ lets you sculpt your tone to perfection. You'll get the historic Vox tones you have been looking for — and more — with the Vox AC10C1.

Tone, tone — and more tone

Although the Vox AC10C1 sports only 10 watts, these are tube watts, and this amp gets louder than you would expect! With 10 watts to kick around, you also get copious tone mojo that you have to fight for in higher-wattage amps. Separate gain and volume controls let you dial in bright cleans to crunchy rhythms at levels that won't get you evicted.

Guitar players love tubes, and a Vox simply wouldn't be a Vox without glowing glass! Just like its big brothers, the Vox AC10C1 combo features two 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 power tubes. This combination gives you the legendary Vox Top Boost tone that's found on countless classic records.
