Has a good vintage look about it too. Would be interested to try it, have always been pleased with vox amplifiers!

I assume tube is in the preamp stage only? It's not clear from their site description.
Nice find.

I have a Vox AC50, about 1966. All-tube except the bridge rectifier is solid state.

@ Andrew - You like how acoustics sound with it?

Its very limited as far as EQ - two channel, bright & normal, with bass, treble, and volume for each channel. PLays through a Vox 2X12" cabinet. I'ves used it mainly for electric 60s R&R, but have plugged my J-45 with a piezo under-saddle pickup into it. I always ran that through 7 band EQ pedal though, and it sounded great. Without the EQ pedal, it was quite thin and very low volume, so it was good that the EQ pedal had a volume level too.
