V is for... Vox

Vox guitars and amplifiers became objects of desire among garage bands in the '60s. That’s mainly because of who was playing them. Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones famously played a white Vox Mark VI ‘Teardrop’ guitar and The Beatles used Vox amps exclusively on the road.

There are some great vintage Vox related pics, and plenty of info, at the Vox showroom website. If you prefer your Vox gear with a bit less mileage on the clock then visit www.voxamps.com to see the latest range of amps, guitars and effects.

V is also for... Velvet Haze

This bonkers slab by Virginian band Velvet Haze has the filthiest fuzz-tone you’ll ever hear! It sounds like a fuzz box running thorough a busted speaker. We’re not sure if we like it! See what you think.
