The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, U2, Queen, Brad Paisley. What do they all have in common? They are part of the story of the iconic tone that is Vox Amplification. Starting out, I was a Fender guy. Early professional, I made my way to Vox Modeling amps. Professional, I rocked a Marshall half stack. Now I play them all when I can but when I fly into a gig I generally ask for Vox.
Of course, over time I had a lot of trial and error but it wasn’t until I played a cranked Vox AC15 or AC30 that I realized that I had missed the boat and there is something special… even magical about a Vox amplifier.
But what era is the best? Who do we know that plays these stellar amps? Where did the name Vox come from? Is there a difference tonally from amp to amp? What is a warfdale? Are Greenbacks or Blue’s better? Can you still find an AC30 for less than $500? What do the numbers mean? And settings… how do you find your Vox tone?
Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.
