Leave it in the on position all the time. The latest handwired series doesn't have one, nor did the previous heritage models. You can submit photos of your 1960's era Vox band to be posted in the Vox Showroom as well. See pictures of local bands that used Vox amps, guitars, and organs. Vox Effects: My 1960's Vox Band: This VOX Button will link you with the 'My 1960's Vox Band' photo gallery. They didn't put standby switches on vintage voxes, they only started when they moved to solid state rectifiers which did need them. This VOX Button will link you with our VOX Effects main page. I know half the people that read that don't believe it, but it's true.
Note that they are not a reliable guide to relative date, ie. Put here a software name you are looking serial numbers for, i. The circuit doesn't need one and it's actually more stressful on the rectifier tube to use it. Amps are registered in two sections: (1) by serial number if known and (2) lower down the page, serial numbers unknown. The only thing that makes them any less reliable than any other kind of AC30 is the standby switch. Also if you pull the chassis there will be stickers on the transformers with dates on them. They revised the manufacturing process after a year or so to deal with that.Īre the speakers plugged in via a jack on the underside of the chassis or hard wired? That's probably the easiest way to tell. The earliest run of them wasn't any less reliable, it just had some annoyances and a couple of wrong value parts. The CC series didn't come out until 2005 ish, so it won't be older than that.
