Vox Amplifiers, The JMI Years is a complete and accurate history of the Golden Age of the Vox amplifier. Told in a clear, concise style, it covers all aspects of Vox amplifiers from before their inception in 1957 through the end of the JMI-era in the late 1960s. Twelve years in the making, this 682 page book contains many behind the scenes stories, providing an insider’s perspective on the rise and fall of Jennings Musical Industries and Vox amplifiers.

Inside the 10″ x 12″ hardcover format are hundreds of newly shot hi-resolution photos of over 100 vintage Vox amplifiers, hundreds of contemporary photos from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as details from dozens of vintage Vox catalogues and promotional items.

Never before has such a large and complete work been completed on any guitar amplifier brand.

In seven sections, Vox Amplifiers, The JMI Years discusses virtually every detail of Vox amps, presenting them in such a way that you can begin reading anywhere in the book, and have fun.

1) The history of Vox, set against the larger history of guitar amplifiers and British and American Music.

2) A series of chapters on all of the parts that make up Vox amplifiers, such as cabinets, coverings, speakers, grillcloths, valves, handles, stands, etc.

3) The entire start to finish process of bringing an amplifier to life, including production totals.

4) The details of each of the Vox amplifier models, covering their developments and circuits. A large chapter in this section rates 45 different models of Vox amplifiers for their sound, and for their suitability for live, studio, and home use.

5) 100 pages that tell about the groups that used Vox amplifiers, with The Shadows and The Beatles each having their own chapters. As expected, there are plenty of gear shots, including some unseen and seldom seen photographs of The Beatles.

6) How to date your amplifier. The secrets of date codes, serial numbers, and serial number plates are revealed. Also included is a month-by-month chart for dating A.C.30 Twins.

7) A full Vox chronology and a full listing of JMI employees is included, along with source materials.

VOX Joe Satriani

dual-mode “Big Bad Wah” pedal

NEW IN BOX

Main features

See The Video

Wah Two delivers all the wah pedal know-how that Joe has accumulated over his many years of experience. The Drive knob mimics the Wah 1 gain at its lowest setting, and delivers a 10 dB boost at the maximum settings for those aggressive, growling overtones. One of the most powerful aspects of Wah Two is the Voice switch, providing traditional wah voicing; or a dark, resonant tone reminiscent of a vintage talk-box.
This is the ultimate wah pedal not just for Joe Satriani fans but for any wah pedal user who enjoys creating their own sound.
