Inside Information:
VOX AC30
Released in 1959 to meet the demand for louder amplifiers, the Vox AC30 was quickly adopted as the amp of choice
for bands like The Beatles, The Kinks and The Stones, helping to define the sound of the 'British Invasion’
when the popularity of British rock ’n’ roll bands spread to the States. Its appeal has continued through the decades
with bands like Queen, U2, The Smiths, Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys all counted as loyal Vox fans.
My latest cutaway print celebrates some of the greatest moments in rock ’n roll history, all hidden inside this iconic guitar amp. Featuring 40 famous scenes including The Beatles’ gig on top of the Apple building, The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park, Bob Dylan going electric, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, Jimi Hendrix at Monterey International Pop Music Festival, Sex Pistols at Lesser Free Trade Hall and The KLF burning a million quid.
