Beatles Vox amps - its a matter of record (Dick Denney - Mr Vox)that the first Beatles amps, AC15s, were bought from a Music Shop in Liverpool (Hesseys) just like almost everyone else gets their gear. It was Brian Epstein who later "persuaded" Vox (JMI) that giving them new AC30s would be to their mutual advantage. In the end they "traded in" their AC15s plus some small amount of cash for them. And Dick Denney should know. The Beatles together and individually used Vox amps long after they had ceased to tour. None were made in the USA for The Beatles. Thomas Organ, under a licence and develop agreement started to produce Vox branded transistor amps c1965 including the so-called "Super Beatle" which was never actually used by The Fab Four. They used the UK produced AC100/Beatle cabinet all-valve set up. However, later developments of Thomas designed "Vox" amps (Series4 and 7)were used in recording parts of "Revolver" and Sgt Pepper" as, whilst being a bland and uninspiring amp tone-wise, it had some effects, like Fuzz, that interested the Beatles at that time. Ian Ian, That is all true. The entire story is in the book referenced by the OP. My actual statement was: “...the amps they played on tour in the USA were made at the American Vox factory.” Which is also true, according to the author. I will defer to his six years of exhaustive research to determine if it's a 'matter of record'. The point I was trying to make was that they also used gear from other than British manufacturers. They also used a Fender Bassman, Bandmaster, Silverface Twin, Deluxe, Deluxe Reverb, etc. I did not mean to cast aspersions on Vox – I love their amps. Regards, Bob Hi Bob No aspertions taken, my friend. Its just that the OPs info is at odds with the book written by Dick Denney, who of course, "invented" Vox. "The Vox Story" - Dick Denney and Davis Petersen. AFAIC there was no VOX FACTORY in the USA. There was a Thomas Organ factory in the USA making their own design Vox amps, all transistor originally. According to my book, The Beatles didnt use the Thomas made "Super Beatle" in the USA, or anywhere else, they stuck with the all valve AC100. Wouldnt it be great to have a selective Time MAchine and pop back and check WHO was right? lol! I love Vox amps. I had one of the first AC30/6 Twin Top Boost amps in the early 60's and wish I had never sold it. I now have a Vox AD60VT for my gigging. Its till big but I dont need to wear Tenors Truss to lift it!! Ian
