 | Marshall 18 Watt 1974X Combo www.proguitarshop.com, Well, it's about time! The new hand wired Marshall 1974x 18 Watt combo is easily the most impressive amp constructed by this legendary company in recent memory. I can't imagine why they waited so long. This is a preposterously cool amplifier. Marshall totally nailed it, beautifully reproducing all the things people loved about the original 1974 with a few practical modern updates, like standard mains power and speaker connections (rather than hardwired), an impedance selector switch, and easily accessible fuses. No sooner was our 1974x off the delivery truck than we were breaking open the box, getting those tubes warmed up and jonesing to plug in a Les Paul. We were immediately struck by how gorgeous this amp is to behold with the naked eye. It is the very definition of classy, with flawless tolex, vintage style grey grill cloth, and tasteful hardware appointments. Actually plugging in a guitar was a truly exhilarating experience. The clean tones, especially with our G&L Comanche, were glassy, rich and open, dare I say genuinely pretty. This little 18 Watt combo is probably the prettiest sounding Marshall amp of all time, and even has a great, tube-driven tremolo. The overdrive tones were actually kind of pretty as well, but in their own dirty, crunchy way. Tons of top-end harmonic richness and buttery smooth lead tones to be had, and quite capable of an aggressive crunch with hotter pickups or a good boost pedal. Marshall's handwired series are genuinely fantastic amplifiers. We found the 1974x 18 watt to be a superb combo for anything rock, blues, or country related. Tons of sweet clean and overdrive tones, immaculate construction, and meticulous dedication on Marshall's part to recreating a classic, highly sought-after rock n' roll amp. Unlike a lot of reissues, the 1974X really hits the mark and lives up to the legacy of the original. Pro Guitar Shop |
 | Vox AC15 Custom Classic Combo www.proguitarshop.com, The AC15 is the amp that "started it all", as they say, for Vox. It was the JMI (Jennings Musical Instruments) company's first product and a masterpiece of guitar amplification by Dick Denney. Following the AC15's release in 1958, it was quickly became the guitar ( and bass ) amp du jour for Britain's early rock n' roll groups. The Shadows were the most prominent of the early endorsers of the Vox AC15. The Vox AC15 was instantly popular for a number of reasons. It easily produced the required volume to keep up with drum kits and brass, which have naturally high acoustic output. If one had to push the volume past the point of a clean guitar tone, it would not distort harshly, but would saturate progressively into even harmonic overtones, without generating nasty breakup. In fact, many early rockers found the characteristic ringing, chiming Vox overdrive to be genuinely pleasing. This unique sound was widely exploited a few years later, when English R&B groups of the mid 60's used AC15's to achieve a classic blues tone in recording studios. It's ability to produce a chiming, creamy overdrive at a moderate volume made the AC15 indispensable for recording purposes, and it remains so to this day. A legend was born. The Vox AC15 Custom Classic series is a throwback to the early AC15's. All the original creamy, chiming tonal qualities that made this amp legendary have been preserved. The AC15CC1X generates 15 Watts of EL84 tube power into the classic 16 Ohm, 12" Vox / Celestion Alnico Blue Speaker ( a rock legend in it's own right). Vox has also updated the amp with a few modern features, including Master volume, global reverb and tremolo controls, and a rear panel 8/16 Ohm impedance selector switch, allowing you to use a wide variety of extension cabinets . It looks particularly smashing with the Vox V212BNX cab, also sporting Alnico Blues. Trem and reverb are footswitchable via the included VF002 footswitch. By the end of January 1958, the 15 watt Denney twin channel amplifier had been developed to production standard. The styling and presentation were not much different than the classic Vox house style of later years, and it had the first model number allocated to a Vox amplifier, Amplifier Combination 15 watts. Otherwise known as the AC15. A substantial amount of work had gone into restructuring the unit. Denney had built the prototypes on a standard box type aluminum chassis. He realized that while these were fine for tryouts and equipment that would be used in fixed installations, they would not stand up to regular transportation of the kind dealt out in normal use by musicians. The usual way out of problems like these was to use a steel chassis. But Denney's amplifier has a high gain factor, and this presented problems when considering the single common space inside a typical box chassis. Hum and oscillation were commonplace results for such an approach. Steel is much worse in this context than aluminum, having a high earthing resistance and being susceptible to currents induced by the transformers needed in audio equipment. The necessity of a single chassis is peculiar to guitar amplifiers, where the number of interconnections must be kept to a minimum. Vibration is an enemy to plug and socket systems and the separate power amp/ pre amp structures commonly used in hi fi can be treacherous in close proximity to an energetically driven, high output loudspeaker unit. Denney's solutions was elegant, and was adopted throughout the Vox product range. This was to fix the transformers (heavy laminated iron blocks which cause most of the damage if the equipment is dropped or mishandled) at either end of a strong pressed steel chassis. This also carried supply and power output circuitry, which is relatively insensitive to hum disturbance. The high gain stages of the amp were built onto an inverted L section aluminum folded sheet structure, which was bolted onto the upright rear faces of the transformers. This provided perfect screening of the sensitive input stages from the hum inducing output transformer. The degree of mutual bracing between the two sections for the chassis resulted in a structure of great rigidity which had the strength of steel and the electrical qualities of aluminum in the right places. Interconnections were made only at the insensitive point in the circuit. All the circuitry susceptible to disturbance was in plain view when the rear cover of the amp was removed, making measurement of the components and checking of wiring and solder joints an easy matter, both for the manufacturer and the service engineer. The chassis was fixed down to a strong plywood carrier which could be slid in and out with the rear cover of the amp removed, and the valves could be readily wired up and tested outside the casing, and offered mechanical protection to the valves if it rolled over during inspection of the power section. |

 | Fulltone OCD V4 Strat - Part 2 www.ProGuitarShop.com - The Fulltone OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive) overdrive pedal is the perfect mate for a great tube amp. If you're lucky enough to own a Vox AC15 or a Marshall JTM45 and have a place where you can turn it up all the way, then you have an idea of what the Fulltone OCD is capable of. Plug in the OCD pedal, lay into a bar chord, and you will hear multiple layers of rich harmonic overtones in addition to the fundamental tone. This is not a subtle effect, these are beautiful ringing feedback tones that can be easily discerned and even sung if you have good ears! The Full Tone OCD produces classic tones you've heard on records by Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Hendrix, AC/DC and others. Roll back your guitar's volume knob and you'll have access to a whole myriad of gorgeous tones, including shimmering, spanking, full range clean sounds. The OCD pedal allows your guitar's natural tones to bloom, so your Strat will still sound like a Strat, and your vintage Les Paul will still sound like a vintage Les Paul. Overdrive and distortion pedals have always been something of a compromise in comparison to a great guitar amp cranked to the "sweet spot". Feel, tone, and harmonics often fall by the wayside when an overdrive pedal is plugged into the front end of a great amp, until now. Check out a Fulltone OCD and see what a great overdrive pedal can be! |
 | Vox Over The Top Boost www.ProGuitarShop.com-The infamous Vox Top Boost in a pedal! Introducing the Over the Top Boost Cooltron pedal from Vox Amplification. Imagine, the Top Boost channel of an AC30, footswitchable, and usable with any amplifier! True tube overdrive is provided with a 12AU7 tube run at low voltage. Wait, you say, how can you get a Vox Top Boost overdrive tone with a tube run at low voltage? Vox ingeniously used two different signal paths. The first is a servo circuit that finesses the conditions between the plate and the grid of the tube for stable operating conditions at low voltages. The second is a low-voltage, low current power supply for the heater element in the tube. This provides a couple of things, great tone and stability at low voltage and longer battery life. The operating current of the Over the Top Boost is just 95ma. That's low enough to give you up to 18 hours of operation on the 4 AA batteries. The Over the Top Boost is an AC30 Top Boost in a pedal, we already said that. What that means is you get the smooth, creamy overdrive tone the AC30 is famous for. Drop the gain and turn up the volume and use the Over the Top Boost to push the front end of your amp you already love. Or, turn up the gain and use the Vox Top Boost tone for your primary overdrive. The Over the Top Boost is warm and rich with colorful harmonics and dynamics. It also features a Cut knob, just like the AC30. This is post gain, post eq, basically last in the circuit and gives you minute control over the treble frequencies to cut out any harshness or fizziness. If you love your amp and want to add the tone of the Vox Top Boost to your playing, the Vox Over the Top Boost is the pedal for you! |
