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 an amplifier that could deliver the volume guitarists of his time were looking for to fill entire arenas. The result of their work was introduced to the market in January 1958. This amplifier, called the AC1/15, marks Vox's first appearance and thus began a story that has been highly successful for over 60 years. Later this amplifier was, for simplicity, renamed the Vox AC15 and quickly became the first choice of the best London 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 realised that London's rising bands needed more power from their amplifiers. Rock music was on the rise and demanded the perfect amps. Dick decided to double the power of his renowned AC15 rather than design an entirely new amp. The cabinet was enlarged and an additional speaker added. The new amplifier was named 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 in the British scene and established Vox as one of the most successful amp manufacturers in the UK.
In July 1962 two lads from Liverpool bought their first Vox amps, an AC15 Twin and an AC30 Twin with Top Boost. Later that same year they recorded a song called Love Me Do in the studio with their band The Beetles. From that point on their unique guitar sound became the standard in modern music.
The massive success Vox achieved in the 1960s laid the foundation for the legacy that still thrives nearly 60 years later. Amps such as the AC10, AC15 and AC30 are still among Vox's most popular products for 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 tonal flexibility. With the ability to offer both classic valve tones and advanced modelling technology, Vox has many amplifiers in its range that meet the needs of the modern guitarist.
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 Greatful Dead), rely on Vox amplifiers to boost their guitar sound both in the studio and on stage.
