I've been fascinated by the sound of a Vox amp since before I knew that it was a Vox amp that was making the magic I was hearing in some of my favorite music. The Beatles formed the soundtrack of my earliest music memories and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were certainly the soundtrack of my college years, pre jazz coma. As I researched this I learned more about what makes the Vox amp so perfect as a guitar amp, and how they sit perfectly in the mix.
I'd like to send a SPECIAL THANKS to all the "friends of five watt". Your level of support continues to make the channel possible.
Thanks for watching. Until next time, thanks for being a part of the five watt world.
Keith

Rory Gallagher... just saying
I remember my first rock memory, mainly because it happened recently. It was 2018 I was 10 years old in fifth grade, my teacher wanted the class to sing John Lennon’s Imagine. When we practiced the song, I got a little into it and searched it up on my phone. On the search results, there was a video of the Beatles preforming their hit I Want to Hold your Hand, I click on it and never went back. Right now I’m 13 years old in 8th grade and still look back that moment.
Every guitar tone I hear I compare to my first guitar memory: Brian May’s Red Special into a treble booster into an AC30. Perfection.
Bill wyman says he was hired by the stones for 2 reasons : He had cigarettes and he had an AC30
Awesome Hypes! It’s crazy to see those old Vox box amps. I’ve never seen one before and am curious how those early amps sound. New camera looks killer!
I realize this is four months old, but no matter: I was 5 at the end of 1987 and most of 1988. And I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for.
Well, we all know what VOX rhymes with...
Stop watching this video kid & go play outside. The best line you’ve ever written. But I turned 5 in 1963. The Beatles, I saw them on “Ed Sullivan’s Show”.
I grew up in London town, with the sound of British amps running through my veins. Vox (Jennings Musical Instruments) in Dartford, Kent and Jim Marshall's shop in Hanwell, just down the road from me. Great times...
First guitar sound, mum playing finger picked folk at home
“Go play outside”. Love it!🤣
I saw Jeff Beck at Eel Pie Island in 1965,-using a 61 tele & an AC 30,-sound was great & Jeff was outstanding!

I was born in 80, and grew up in a bluegrass family, so there weren't a lot of rock sounds around. Then one day when I was 13 or 14, my dad pulled out on old LP and dropped the needle. It was ZZ Top playing 'Brown Sugar'. It was transformative. It felt like an extra eye I didn't know I had, opened. I absorbed everything ZZ Top ever did, and have chased that sound ever since.
Thanks so much for welcoming me into the Five Watt World Keith! I'm gradually getting my hearing back in my left ear after recording with the AC30 Top Boost!
No better way to start the day than A Short History. Love this series!
"The Edge" is the guy who first got me interested in Vox amps, loved the chime, prior to that (and I'm nearly 61) it was all Fender, but I'm a Vox guy now!! Many Thanks for the great video!
Feeling down and bummed out due to things in my life I happened to check my notifications and there was my friendly @five watt world” logo.
Seeing the notification for this pop up on my phone made me a little excited. Love your work Keith.
Fantastic episode. My knowledge of Vox was lacking but not anymore! The first electric guitar sound I remember would be Van Halen Hot For Teacher played in my dad's old Chevy Silverado.
