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.
