All about Vox
Legendary Vox sound
The legendary sound of Vox Amplification begins with Dick Denney, an amp designer who worked for the English JMI Corporation in 1957. Dick was himself a passionate guitarist and together with the JMI staff developed a amplifier that could deliver the volume guitarists of his time were looking for to fill entire arenas. The result of their work was launched in January 1958. This amplifier, called the AC1/15, marks Vox's first appearance as a manufacturer and thus began a story that has been written with great success for over 60 years. Later this amplifier was, for simplicity, renamed Vox AC15 and quickly became the first choice of the top London guitarists, including Vic Flick, who used an AC15 for the legendary recording of the James Bond Theme.
The rise of the AC amps
In spring 1960 Dick and his crew quickly realised that London's up-and-coming bands needed more power from their amplifiers. Rock music was on the rise and demanded the perfect amps. Dick decided to double the output of his renowned AC15 rather than design a completely new amp. The cabinet was enlarged and an additional speaker added. The new amplifier was christened the AC30/4 Twin. With 30 watts, two 12" Celestion speakers, four inputs and two channels, the Vox AC30/4 Twin was a hit among musicians on the British scene and established Vox as one of the most successful amp manufacturers in Britain.
In July 1962 two lads from Liverpool bought their first Vox amps, an AC15 Twin and an AC30 Twin equipped with Top Boost. Later that year they recorded a song called Love Me Do with their band The Beatles. From that point their unique guitar sound became the standard in modern music.
The success story continues
The massive success Vox achieved in the 60s laid the foundation for a legacy that still thrives nearly 60 years later. Amplifiers like the AC10, AC15 and AC30 are still the most popular Vox products among professional and hobby guitarists.
Many of Vox's current products, such as the renowned Valvetronix amplifiers or the Mini Go- and amPlug series, feature state-of-the-art technology to achieve unprecedented sonic flexibility. With the ability to offer both classic valve sounds and advanced modelling technology, Vox has many amplifiers in its range that meet the needs of modern guitarists.
The sound of Vox amplifiers has shaped the sound of pop music over the past 60 years. Many influential artists, such as Dave Grohl and Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters), Albert Hammond jr (The Strokes), Brian May (Queen) or Bob Weir (The Grateful Dead) rely on Vox amplifiers to enhance their guitar sound both in the studio and on stage.
