The Vox AC10 C1 tube amp remains one of the sweetest and most usable small-valve amplifiers available today. Compact, straightforward, and unmistakably Vox, it delivers that classic British chime whether you’re at home, in the studio, or mic’d up on stage.

This example is in mint condition, used only at home and exceptionally well cared for.

The AC10C1 pairs a 10-inch Celestion VX10 speaker with a pair of EL84 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp valves, giving it the lively response, harmonic sparkle, and midrange character that define the Vox sound. Clean tones are bright and articulate without being harsh, with that familiar glassy top end. Turn up the gain and the amp moves into a rich, touch-sensitive overdrive with warm compression and singing sustain—classic Vox edge-of-breakup at sensible volumes.

With simple controls (gain, volume, bass, treble, and a beautifully voiced digital reverb), it’s an amp that rewards expressive playing rather than endless tweaking. It also takes pedals exceptionally well, making it a favourite among players looking for a portable valve amp that still carries the feel of a proper AC circuit.

The AC10 lineage has long been associated with studio musicians and indie guitarists who rely on Vox amps for their clarity, chime, and breakup—tones made famous by players from The Beatles and Brian May to countless modern alternative and session artists.

A wonderful amp, beautifully preserved, and ready for its next home.
