Hunter Amplifiers - Compact 4/10 - AC-4 Style Tube Combo

The Hunter Amplifiers is a pretty accurate rendition of Vox's early 1960's AC-4. It uses a pentode preamp tube instead of the triode used in the reissues, and a pentode has 66% more "-ode" than a triode (do the math!). It's pushing a 10" Weber Signature Series speaker in a hand-built solid Pine cabinet. All of that adds up to a rich, smooth tone that, to paraphrase Vox's 164 catalog, makes for: "A fine little amplifier for the soloist.  It features a single input with tone and volume controls. Fitted with a jack for a foot-operated Vibrato on/off control."  So, it's 6-ish watts of EL84 power (a vintage 6BQ5 is installed). This one-off amp is covered in Cream tolex with steel corners. No kits were used in the building of this amp, this was truly hand-built from scratch in nearby Keno, Kentucky.  It's a perfect bedroom or recording amp, or you can mic it and rock a stadium if needed. 14.5" x 17.5" x 8", and less than 30 lbs!
