c1964/5 JMI VOX AC-10

Dating from 1964-5, this is a go-to amp in the studio: all the balls and vibe of an AC-30 without the hearing damage: it sounds absolutely superb – the original speakers are in excellent order and perform extremely well. The tremolo is lovely, the footswitch is original (missing it’s base) but has been modified with a jack plug and trailing socket to allow a modern silent switch to be used if required when recording. Unfortunately the previous owner had hacked a couple of holes in the rear panel for extra sockets – these have been removed and the holes filled and made good. There is minor damage to the wood on the right-hand side that the rear cover is secured to (invisible when the cover is on). We fitted a new set of rubber feet as the originals were missing, and one screw is missing from the rear panel. There are two holes and indentations where a non-standard handle had been fitted – this has been removed and a correct period handle has been fitted (from another 60s AC-10). None of these minor flaws affect the sound/performance in any way but are mentioned for absolute clarity.

This amp looks superb and plays and sounds amazing – it will be hard to let it go.
