The Greatest Vox Amp You Haven't Heard Of - Ask Zac 69

‍

‍

I have tried to be a Vox guy for years; buying and selling them over and over, and never finding the right one. I had to come to the point of giving up, when a friend let me borrow his 1964 Vox AC10, and I finally found the tone I had always been looking for. In this episode, I discuss probably the least known of the JMI era amps, going through its specs and tube layout, and why in many ways it is the perfect Vox design.
