I am the original owner of this amp made famous by so many legendary musicians. You'll see this amp in many backlines and it is still to this day unrivalled for it's unique tone. This is one of the later best models, made in the Marshall factory by Korg and it features the blue Alnico Speakers.

I was able to find the original manufacturer of all the pots and ordered two sets. A couple of the pots were a bit scratchy at the very low end of the range and I decided to replace all the pots.There is also another set also included, so your amp will be servicable for the next 20+ years.

This amp is in excellent grade condition with just a few marks here and there. I have installed a fan at the base to promote air circulation as these amps run hot; it is easily removed if you so wish.

I would love to see this amp in a recording studio, or being toured with live. Either way, they will never make these again and they are extremely difficult to find, especially in this condition.

The History:

Korg purchased Vox in 1994. The intention was to restore the reputation and quality of their amps. Korg was a global distributor of Marshall amplifiers. This lead to Marshall taking over the manufacturing of Vox amps in the UK.  

This legendary era of Marshall made Vox amps ran from 1994 to 2004. The circuit design reverted back to the specifications of the original design by Dick Denney. The only modifications to the original design were for safety and reliability purposes – a standby switch was fitted, larger cooling vents, and the elimination of the rotary voltage selector switch. These were manufactured until 2004, when rising costs of shipping and manufacturing in a post 9/11 world made making an amp of this quality no longer financially viable.  

The sound of this amp is what it's all about. The beautiful, clear chime that emanates from the twin Celestion blue speakers is something to behold. Voxs articulate top end like no other amp. The harmonically rich clarity make bright guitars like Telecasters shine, and warmer guitars such as Les Pauls reach a level of sparkle and openness seldom heard through other amps.
