About Vox Amps

Vox Amps are one of the truly legendary amp brands. Founded in 1957, Vox amps have graced the stages and recordings of some of the greatest rock acts of all time including Queen and The Beatles. Their powerful midrange tones, chiming cleans and powerful cranked tones are every bit as unmistakable as the iconic diamond grill cloth and gold lettering.

Modern Vox amps are every bit as high quality as the Vox of the past, offering a huge array of sizes and power levels to suit everything from the studio musician, to the touring guitarist, to the beginner and bedroom guitarist. There's a Vox amp to suit everyone.

Vox Amps are among the most iconic amps available. Even the diamond grill cloth on its own is distinctive and recognisable. Whether it’s The Beatles at Abbey Road or Brian May at Wembley Stadium, Vox amplifiers have played a huge role in some of the defining musical moments of the last 60 years.

For many players Vox guitar amps hit the sweet spot between Fender and Marshall. Not as sophisticated as a Fender or as aggressive as a Marshall, they are a big, dumb delight.

Known for their trademark in-your-face ‘chime’, Vox Amps are most famous for the AC30. This twin speaker, twin channel amp is loud and proud and have been on countless albums over the years. Smaller, single speaker options include the AC15, AC10 and AC4. All of them have that unmistakable Vox tone.

Vox also have brilliant options for beginners and home practice, often using their ‘NuTube’ technology. These are very small valve amps which are able to run at lower voltage and lower temperatures. This means that they can integrate into small and portable amps and still give some of that valve richness we know and love.
