Tony Bruno designed boutique Guitar Combo Amp from Vox
VOX TB18C1 Guitar Amplifier continues the collaboration with legendary American boutique amp designer Tony Bruno. Despite their British pedigree, the Vox TB18C1 has a decidedly American feel, thanks to Tony’s influence and design. The amp chassis features a pair of 6V6 power tubes, known for their smooth and clean high end, creamy mids, big bass, and for their rich “breakup” when overdriven. The preamp stage on Vox TB18C1 is driven by two 12AX7 preamp tubes. The single-channel preamp offers both High and Low level inputs, as well as Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. External speaker jacks and extension cabinet jacks are standard equipment. The TB18C1 features a 12-inch Celestion G12-65 loudspeaker mounted into a rugged plywood cabinet.
User Friendly Features In Tony’s design for the TB18C1 amplifier he included a number of features to allow the user to tweak their tone to perfection, in any situation. The Mid Boost switch is a mid/gain boost. This specially-voiced mod is ideal for players wanting to boost their solos or leads. Leaving this switch permanently activated dramatically changes the sound of the TB18C1 and allows the search for excellent tone to extend even further. The Dark Switch circuit further tweaks the TB18C1 amp’s tonal diversity. When the Dark switch is engaged, the high frequencies are dramatically cut; this makes the amp feel like a completely different beast!
