COVERS FOR VOX SOLID STATE AMPS

Conquerors, Defiants, Supremes; Dynamic, Foundation and Super Foundation Bass

With the advent of the solid state amps in 1967, a new style logo made its appearance: no more than a slight change - an ovoid container in white surrounding "VOX" - but a change nonetheless.

On the left, the old style logo. The new logo is also to be found on AC30 and AC50 covers produced after 1967, as well as those covers for PA equipment issued as part of the solid state range. The presence of the white ovoid container helps sort out "early" covers from "late" ones (which are sometimes paired up by later owners with earlier amps that had lost their originals).

An overview of Vox covers in the period 1964-1967 can be found on this page of the Vox AC100 website.
