I remembered my VOX amp in storage and pulled it out of the closet. I'd been playing strictly acoustic for years and the idea of a hollow body electric to play some jazz improvs suddenly appealed to me. This original V9158 has no reverb.įast-forward to 2017: Out of the blue I got the bug to buy an electric guitar. Incidentally, VOX only produced this until about 2001 when it was upgraded to the V9158R, a model that included a spring action reverb circuit. But after a while I moved on to another project and this amp ended up in storage. It was perfect for my needs: 15W transistor output, small size, and a nice vintage look. At the time I was experimenting with a Dean Markley acoustic pickup and DOD Chorus pedal. I bought this amplifier new in 1999 to pair with a 12-string Seagull acoustic guitar.
