Vox Fuzz VFZ-1
Vox hat mit dem legendären Tonebender Fuzz Musikgeschichte geschrieben - das aktuelle VFZ-1 Fuzz steht auch in dieser Tradition. Der Tonebender arbeitet mit Germanium Transistoren, die einen einzigartigen Sound liefern, aber leider sehr unvorhersehbar auf Temperatur und Stromschwankungen reagiert. Vox verwendet selektierte BC108 Silver Can Transistoren, die auch in den späten Fuzz Faces zu finden sind. Den Vox Technikern ist es gelungen, den Schaltkreis so zu modifizieren, das der charakteristische Germanium Sound erhalten bleibt, aber weitaus stabiler läuft und nicht auf äußere Einflüsse reagiert. Mit an Bord ist ein 2-Band EQ, neben dem klassischen Fuzz läßt sich auch ein fetter Crunch Sound produzieren. Das VFZ-1 funktioniert problemlos mit Wah Pedalen - keine seltsamen Nebengeräusche und unkontrolierbare Oszillationen.

Vox Amplification 's legendary sound begins with Dick Denney , an amp designer who worked for England's JMI Corporation in 1957. Dick was a passionate guitarist himself and worked with the JMI staff to develop an amplifier model that could deliver the volume that the guitarists of his time were looking for in order to be able to fill entire arenas. The result of their work was launched on the market in January 1958. This amplifier model, called AC1/15 , marks the first appearance of the manufacturer Vox and thus began a story that has been continued with great success for over 60 years. Later renamed the Vox AC15 for convenience, this amplifier model quickly became the first choice of London's top guitarists, including Vic Flick, who used an AC15 for the legendary recording of the James Bond Theme .
In the spring of 1960, Dick and his crew quickly realized that London's up-and-coming bands needed more power from their amplifiers . Rock music was on the rise and wanted to be served with the perfect amps. Dick decided to double the power of his renowned AC15 rather than create a completely new amp. The enclosure was expanded and an additional loudspeaker was added. The new amplifier model was named 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 the UK.
In July 1962 two boys from Liverpool bought their first Vox amps, an AC15 Twin and a Top Boost equipped AC30 Twin. Later that year you recorded a song called Love Me Do in the studio with your band The Beetles . From this point on, their unique guitar sound became the standard in modern music .
The massive success that Vox achieved in the '60s laid the foundation for the legacy that still thrives almost 60 years later. amplifier model like the AC10 , AC15 and AC30 are still the most popular Vox products among professional and amateur guitarists.

With the ability to offer both classic tube tones and sophisticated modeling technology , Vox has many amplifier model in its range to suit the needs of the modern guitarist.
