About this listing
Early–mid 1960s Vox AC30/6, manufactured in England by Jennings Musical Industries (JMI).This is the pre–Top Boost AC30/6 variant, identifiable by its original six-input layout and single Tone control, prior to the later Top Boost circuit becoming standard.Built during Vox’s most historically significant period, this model represents the definitive early AC30 design that established the British clean-to-breakup sound of the 1960s. These JMI-era, non–Top Boost AC30/6 amplifiers are increasingly scarce and are regarded by collectors as the purest expression of the original AC30 circuit.Cosmetic wear to the cabinet is consistent with age and use and has not been cosmetically restored, preserving originality.This is not a later Korg-era reissue or modern production model, but a genuine UK-built JMI Vox from the original production period.ConditionOriginal vintage amplifierCosmetic wear consistent with ageDue to age and value, the amplifier is sold as a collectible vintage item.
