Selling a Vox AC4TV. Used only at home and never brought out for gigs - hence in excellent condition.

Comes with a standard 10" custom Celestion speaker. According to Goose, it can be modded to take a 12' speaker- so this may interest all you mod aficionados who wanna try your hand at modding as I have a 12" celestion seventy-80 for sale as well. Lemme know if you have any interest to get both as a package. You won't regret it- I'll give you a deal that's so irresistible, it'd be downright dumb to refuse.

Tubes have been changed from the stock Russian ones to a Tungsol 12ax7 and a Groove Tubes EL84. (tubes cost me about 60 bucks to change). Don't get the other AC4TVs listed on the classifieds here when you can have mine already loaded with boutique quality tubes.....trust me...the tonal benefits make a world of difference in the amp's sound! (p.s my amp is going for 200 bucks too like the rest anyway so the tubes are on me) PLUS I won't list bullshit like how where the amp is made in. USA big deal ah? If you want a USA made amp, please be my guest and pay 1k and the components will probably be the same except how you'r paying 500% more for labour and "hand-wiring". (its made in China, just like nobody gives a shit about how your iphones and ipads are made in china, and nobody gives a rat's ass about where its made if your amp is solid state anyway :) ) Anyway for anything above 1k I would honestly rather look at the boutique market compared to big name, mass produced brands.

Selling cheap at 200 bucks(fixed), considering the considerable amount of money spent to change the tubes. The Tungsol and Groove Tubes helped to open up the amp's sonic character considerably and it sounds much bigger too.

Strongly agree with this. Well said. I am guessing that this is directed at a certain annoying ad that keeps popping up on this site.
 
Pending sale today :)

Disclaimer: Well I'm not implying or trying to drop any subtle hints here *hee hee* after all, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

And my opinion is that the ultimate winner of a classified is if whatever you have for sale takes off quickly. Boasting about how great the product you'r selling while highlighting the flaws of others is frankly annoying and simply ticks people off. Reminded me the days when I visited a certain shop with a pushy salesman who kept going on and on about how great the "all-tube" pedals he was selling were (when it was obvious most of the distortion was coming from the op-amps btw, as you can't get "all-tube" distortion from a single 12ax7) and started insulting my choice of gear and ultimately, my tonal tastes. I mean, if he had done it in a more gentle, persuasive way I may have been swayed but whatever he did was frankly annoying (not to mention his lack of technical knowledge).

Needless to say, I never stepped back into that shop again.
