Thanks for the link.
But $85 USD! I think I will restrict myself to reading the sample pages on the site.
Regards,
Charlie

Why not order it through your local library Charlie?

Hi Kevin,
I must admit I hadn't thought of that. I may go in and ask.

Hi,

My lovely wife got me the Deluxe version of the Vox Guide Book for my recent birthday and I think it is worth every cent (including postage!) of the cost. It is an excellent production absolutely full of details about all of the JMI Vox amps. The Deluxe version has a supplement containing the circuit diagrams for all of the amps, echoes, vibratos, reverbs etc., reproduced in period style on large format "aged" paper with blueprint type printing. Just the packaging itself is a work of art!

There's a great section on The Shadows involvement with Vox (as well as the Beatles, Stones, Brian May and many others) detailing their amps and also echo units. It includes some rare photos (eg The Shadows at Abbey Road c1964 with a Vox Long Tom in the background! Were they doing Flinge Bunt I wonder, which seems to have a Long Tom echo???).

There are a couple of inaccuracies that I picked up, but the author is committed to keeping it as accurate as possible and there is a section on his web site where updates/corrections (of which there are few) are available.

It might cost as much as cheap guitar when landed, but what a great read and superb reference!!

Regards,

Paul.

Hi Paul.Yes i have on as well with the little stand. It is very informative! Great pics.And the best bit theres no import duty as its classed as a technical manual. Did you get the signed ltd of 1000?

Bets Regards,

Paul mine is #125. Did you purchase the stand?

[didier]

I have the standard edition. It's a huge book (it weights 10 lb, which explains the shipping cost...).
There is a large part on the groups which used Vox amps, only the Shadows and the Beatles have a full chapter..
