As a special bonus for those who act early, Vox Amplifiers The JMI Years is offered in a Special Deluxe Limited Edition version of 1000 copies, each signed and numbered by the author. The Deluxe Limited Edition, in addition to the special signed version of the book, also includes a second schematics portfolio book.
The schematics portfolio contains 70 large format facsimile schematics and blueprints of Vox amplifiers, many as large as 11" x 17". A number of these are rare and seldom seen, and include the A.C.2, A.C.4, A.C.6, A.C.10, A.C.15, A.C.30 (including the EL34 version, the 4-input, and the early version of the 6-inut model), A.C.50 (including 2-input), A.C.100 (cathode and fixed bias), T.60 (and Transonic 60 and Lightweight Thirty), all Hybrid models, all Solid State models, and the Echo and Reverb units.
In an effort that has taken four artists hundreds of hours, each schematic has been painstakingly restored (not simply redrawn), making them readable at last. Each drawing is printed on a vintage-style blueprint paper virtually the same as used by JMI for the originals. A perfect size to use as technical tools, these schematics are beautiful enough to be mounted and framed as art pieces. There is absolutely nowhere else to obtain original-style Vox schematics of this quality.
Both books come housed in a very special slipcase that looks like a Fawn A.C.30 in its olive green protective Plastileather cover.
The Special Deluxe Limited Edition is priced at $150.00 USD.
Plus - For the ultimate Vox enthusiast, a book stand patterned from the 1960s Vox stand. $45 USD
Please note: If demand is sufficient, a similar, non-signed and non-numbered version
of the Deluxe Edition may be offered in 2009.
