INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the VOX Custom Series AC10C1 Guitar Amplifier.
This amp is the culmination of over 50 years of manufacturing expertise and high quality guitar amplifier design. We have been through our history books and re-imagined an old classic for the modern player.
We’re confident you will find these improvements extremely useful and that your new amplifier will give you many hours of tonal pleasure. Your AC10C1 is equipped with a number of modern features and conveniences, including a master volume, Celestion VX10 speaker and custom
VOX reverb to name a few. Please read this manual carefully so that you can familiarize yourself with them.
The AC10C1 is now a streamlined, single channel design with more than enough flexibility to satisfy your tonal desires and playing requirements.

1.MAINS Indicator This will tell you if your amp is on or off!
2.MAINS Power switch
This is the ON/OFF switch for the power to the amplifier. Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and unplugged before being moved.
3. VOLUME Control This controls the overall VOLUME of your amplifier. Cleaner sounds can be achieved by lowering the GAIN and raising the VOLUME. Setting the VOLUME lower and the GAIN higher will give you a fatter, more distorted tone at a lower volume. As with all the controls of this amplifier, please experiment with different configurations to find the tones that fit your guitar and playing style.
4. REVERB Control This controls the level of reverb in your sound. Ranging from subtle ambience to a spacious swell, the new Custom VOX reverb adds great sonic depth to your tone.
5. TREBLE Control This controls the high frequencies in your sound—from soft and round when turned down (counter clockwise) to bright and cutting when cranked (clockwise) and all points in-between.
6. BASS Control This controls the low frequencies in your sound—from thin and light when turned down (counter clockwise) to warm and heavy when turned up full (clockwise) and all points in-between.
7. GAIN Control This determines the sensitivity of the preamp. Increase the volume and distortion by turning it clockwise or you can turn it anticlockwise for a quieter, cleaner sound. The GAIN control should be used in conjunction with the VOLUME to get the perfect balance between distortion and output volume.
NOTE: Because of the nature of the design of this amplifier, it may take a few minutes until the circuit becomes stable after the power is turned on. Some noise might occur during this time but it soon disappears.
8. INPUT Jack Plug your guitar in here!

1. EXTERNAL SPEAKER Jack
This speaker jack will mute (disconnect) the internal speaker and you can hook up a 16 Ohm cabinet of your choice.
WARNING: To ensure that your system works correctly, you must observe the following points.
a)Don’t connect a speaker whose rated input capacity is less than 10 Watts.
The speaker may be destroyed if you ignore this caution—not recommended!
b)You must use a speaker cable to connect an external speaker. Don’t use a shielded cable like the one you use to connect a guitar to an amp.
c)You must turn off the power before connecting the cable. Connecting the cable while the power is turned on may damage your amp.
NOTE: It is recommended that all audio cables, with the exception of the speaker lead, used to connect to the AC10C1 are of a high quality, screened type. These should not exceed 10 metres in length. Always use a non-screened Vox approved speaker lead with the AC10C1 Amplifier and external cabinets.
2. MAINS INPUT This is where the supplied, detachable Mains (power) cord is connected. The specific mains input voltage rating that your amplifier needs to run at is located on the rear panel of your amplifier. Before making any connections or powering up the amplifier, make sure the mains supply voltage matches your amplifier. If you have any doubt, refer to your local VOX dealer.
Auto Power-Off Function (Only 230V version)
To comply with the European wide ErP regulation, this amplifier has been fitted with an automatic power down function.
By default the function is engaged, and is designed to power down the amplifier when a period 2 hours of no audio input is detected.
NOTES:
1.The Power switch is a momentary type. Momentarily move the switch up for On and Down for Off. The switch will return to the centre position once released.
2.The Auto Power-Off function can be disabled by moving the ECO switch to the OFF position. The switch is located on the back panel next to the Mains Inlet.
3.Power may not turn on or off if the switch is released in a very short time.
4.If the Gain or Volume is set to minimum, no input signal will be detected.
This will mean the auto power-off function will be enabled.

INFORMATIONS IMPORTANTES DE SECURITE
•Lisez attentivement ces instructions.
•Veuillez conserver ces instructions.
•Observez tous les avertissements.
•Suivez toutes les consignes à la lettre.
•N’utilisez jamais cet appareil dans un endroit humide ni à proximité d’eau.
•L’appareil alimenté par courant électrique ne peut pas être exposé à des éclaboussures; évite en outre de placer des récipients contenant des liquides, comme un vase (ou un verre de bière), sur l’appareil.
•Nettoyez uniquement l’appareil avec un chiffon doux et sec.
•Ne bloquez jamais les orifices de ventilation de l’appareil et installez-le toujours conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
•N’installez jamais l’appareil à proximité d’une source de chaleur, telle que des radiateurs, poêles ou tout autre dispositif (y compris des amplificateurs) générant de la chaleur.
•N’essayez jamais de contourner le dispositif de sécurité d’une prise de type polarisée ou d’une prise de terre. Une prise dite polarisée dispose de deux broches, dont l’une est plus large que l’autre. Une prise de terre comporte trois broches, dont une de mise à la terre. Cette broche plus large ou broche de mise à la terre vise à assurer votre sécurité. Si la fiche du cordon d’alimentation ne correspond pas au type de prise de courant de votre région, faites remplacer la prise obsolète par un électricien qualifié (pour les Etats-Unis et le Canada).
•Placez toujours le cordon d’alimentation de sorte qu’on ne risque pas de marcher dessus ni de le pincer. Cette précaution vise tout spécialement la fiche du cordon et sa sortie de l’appareil.
•Utilisez exclusivement les fixations/accessoires préconisés par le fabricant.
•S’il y a risque d’orage ou que vous ne comptez pas utiliser l’appareil pendant une période prolongée, débranchez-le du secteur.
•La mise sur OFF de l’interrupteur d’alimentation n’isole pas totalement ce produit de la ligne secteur; aussi, retirez la fiche de la prise s’il doit rester inutilisé pendant une période prolongée.
•Installez ce produit près de la prise électrique murale et gardez un accès facile à la prise électrique et au cordon d’alimentation.
•ATTENTION: Cet appareil doit absolument être connecté à une prise électrique reliée à la terre.
•Confiez tout travail de réparation uniquement à un S.A.V. qualifié. Faites appel au S.A.V. si l’appareil a subi tout endommagement, comme par exemple si sa fiche secteur ou son cordon d’alimentation sont endommagés, si de l’eau ou des objets ont pénétré à l’intérieur de l’appareil, si celui-ci a été exposé à la pluie ou à la moisissure, s’il est tombé ou présente tout signe de dysfonctionnement.
•N’utilisez jamais d’allonge trop longue avec cet appareil et ne l’alimentez jamais via les prises secteur équipant d’autres dispositifs.
•N’installez jamais cet appareil dans un endroit confiné comme une caisse de transport ou tout autre récipient similaire.
•Des niveaux d’écoute trop importants lors de l’utilisation d’un casque ou d’écouteurs peuvent entraîner des pertes d’audition.
•Utilisez l’appareil uniquement avec le chariot, stand, trépied, fixation ou table spécifiés par le fabricant ou fourni avec l’appareil. Si vous avez placé l’appareil sur un chariot, soyez très prudent quand vous déplacez le chariot, afin d’éviter une chute et des blessures.
L’éclair dans le triangle est un symbole destiné à attirer l’attention de l’utilisateur sur la présence de parties non isolées et de “tension dangereuse” à l’intérieur de l’appareil, qui posent des risques d’électrocution pour l’utilisateur.
Le point d’exclamation dans un triangle est un symbole destiné à attirer l’attention de l’utilisateur sur des sections de ce manuel contenant des informations importantes, liées à l’utilisation et à l’entretien de ce produit.
