4W, 1x10 combo.
Longtime curious, never played one. Mr Smallface was selling one for a price that allowed me to indulge my curiosity and painlessly move it on when I was done.
Ah the best laid plans............
Every guitar I have loves this thing, acoustics included (Anybody want an AER?). It has a huge pallete of clean tones and if you want Vox OD, dig in, it's right there.
I went through it and replaced V1 with a 5751 which for me is just habit. After a valve stash rummage and tasting session, the JJ EL84 was replaced with one of my old Mullard equivalents. Immediate impression was increased volume and presence with this particular Mullard so I stopped there.
I love the sound of me playing through this amp, probably the highest compliment I can pay it.
It's a perfect volume for home; it works well from accompanying a vocalist with no mic, up to a band with moderate drummer once you plug in an external speaker. That speaker needs to be 16 ohm but by great fortune, my #1 working cab is a 1x12 Celestion Blue, 16 ohm. "You win some; you might get lucky now and then".......Thanks Mark.
Thing is, I don't use the Blue. Oh yes, it really does sound good but it takes the amp out of the home. I'll take it to a jam with a rhythm section but at home, the Greenback 30/10 sounds superb.
Dave, thank you Sir. I had no idea what a wonderful thing I was getting!

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

You figured in the buying decision, " Well I know Ben likes them."

So glad you're enjoying it Bruce! 
I climbed on the back of a giant albatross which flew through a crack in the cloud to a place where happiness reigned all year round and music played ever so loudly

It hasn't helped. I have enough worry about leaving amps neglected too long already.

I must warn you all that it is a gateway drug to AC10 ownership.

Re: NAD: Vox AC4
Noted!
I'll be searching for treble boosters at some stage soon. Have never tried one before.
