Vox AC50 JMI Mark III Head 1966

Waar de evolutie van gitaarversterking in het algemeen de behoefte van muzikanten om luider te spelen volgt, volgt de geschiedenis van Vox met name de behoefte van The Beatles om luider te spelen. Het resultaat was dat de eerste AC50's aan George Harrison en John Lennon werden geleverd als op maat gemaakte eenkanaals koppen en aangepaste cabs, net op tijd voor de kerstconcerten van de band in '64 in Finsbury Park, Londen.

 
Hoewel de output van de versterker een groter geluid gaf dan de Vox AC30, vroeg het buizenontwerp om twee EL34 output buizen om het extra vermogen voor een groter publiek te bereiken. Deze EL34's brachten ook wat tonale verschillen met zich mee, voornamelijk het donkerder maken van de versterker dan zijn kleinere tegenhangers, wat de helderheid van de Vox wegwerkt en een beetje meer Marshall-goodness brengt!
 
Vox introduceerde Mark III van de AC50 eind 1965 en vernieuwde hem met een solid state gelijkrichter, waardoor hij een strakkere respons en low end kreeg, met meer volume, dan zijn GZ34-rectified voorganger.
 
Deze 'large box' AC50 is een exemplaar uit 1966 in zeer goede staat, met een vervangen uitgangstransformator, een paar vervangen condensatoren en twee toegevoegde output jacks. De frontplaat is verweerd bij het ingangsgedeelte, maar de head is over het algemeen nog zeer schoon met minimale sporen. 
 

Where the evolution of guitar amplification in general traces musicians’ needs to be louder, the history of Vox follows, in particular, The Beatles’ need to play louder. As a result, the first AC50s were delivered to George Harrison and John Lennon as custom-made, single-channel heads and modified cabs ready just in time for the band’s Christmas ’64 concerts in Finsbury Park, London.
While the amp's output provided larger sound than the Vox AC30, the tube design called for two EL34 output tubes to achieve the additional power for bigger audiences. These EL34's also brought some tonal differences, mainly making the amp darker than its smaller counterparts, which levels out the Vox brightness and brings a bit more Marshall goodness!
Vox introduced Mark III of the AC50 at the end of 1965 and updated it with a solid state rectifier, giving it a tighter response and low end, with more volume, than its GZ34 rectified predecessor.
This 'large box' AC50 is an 1966 example in very good condition, with a replaced output transformer, a couple of replaced caps and two added output jacks. The faceplate is worn at the input area, but the head is overall still very clean with minimal wear.
