The US Vox V1261 Westminster Power Stak amplifier featured two 4x12 speaker enclosures coupled to a Westminster V1182 amp head. Playing off a "skyscraper" high rise theme, 1969 Vox literature introducing the Power Stak series indicated that "you have to pay extra for the ladder." The Westminster Power Stak was nothing more than a repackaging of items previously introduced by Vox. It's introduction helped Thomas Organ to move away from the use of costly chrome tubular steel swivel trolleys for their speaker cabinets.

The 4x12 enclosure used for the Westminster "Power Stak" was introduced a year earlier as a part of the Sovereign Bass amp. Each cabinet featured four 12" Vox special design gold frame speakers with ferrite magnets manufactured by the Oxford Speaker Company of Chicago IL. The cabinets featured a bass reflex vent on the back panel that Thomas Vox called the "Bass Intensifier."

The 120 watt, 240 watt peak power V1182 Westminster head, introduced in 1968, supplied the power. See the Westminster owner's manual by clicking here. The V1182 was a two channel amp. Channel one featured rotary volume, treble and bass controls plus a Top Boost switch. The second channel featured a volume and Tone-X control.

Tone X was essentially a sweepable parametric tone control electronically similar in concept to the Wah Wah pedal. When turned fully counter clockwise, the tone from the Tone X circuit was very bassy and had little treble. When clockwise, the tone was bright and thin.

A "G-Tuner" feature provided a tuning reference tone.

From the imagination of Tom DeLonge and To The Stars* comes the limited edition Adventure Box. Designed in collaboration with Tom's recording engineer, Aaron Rubin, and crafted by Utility Belt FX — a small-batch, gear-head driven boutique effects maker trusted for authentic tone replicas and high-end flexibility. This 2-in-1 guitar pedal contains an analog compressor and delay to put the tones you've been listening to for 20 years right at your feet. Use either channel independently or together!

The TTS* Adventure Box features an Order Switch that lets you reverse the signal flow for non-traditional and unique tones. The compressor is based on a classic, squishy two-knob circuit — but voiced for humbuckers and equipped with an additional Blend control to preserve the transients and tone of your unaffected signal. Meanwhile, the analog-voiced digital delay delivers the perfect mix of clarity and warmth for everything from fast double-tracking to deep-space exploration. Keep the Feedback knob low for a classic doubling effect, or crank it for interstellar solos.

Packaged in a custom TTS* box, the Adventure Box includes a card insert featuring six studio-approved settings for songs like “The Adventure” and “Adam's Song.” Each insert is hand-numbered and signed by Tom. Limited to just 250 units.

designed by artist Amanda Dunbar who hand-placed 6000 individual crystals on the guitar as part of her Precious Rebels Collection.

"She took the logo from the cover of the [Dark Horse] album and put the crystals all over it," says Kroeger. "The design is just fantastic. It's very Vegas."

From his paradigm-shifting playing on Appetite for Destruction to the present, Slash has trusted Seymour Duncan pickups to deliver his signature tone for decades. The Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 represents his hottest set of humbuckers yet, delivering a higher-output take on his previous pickup collaborations without giving an inch when it comes to clarity and dynamics. This set was originally commissioned by Slash for the Guns N’ Roses performance at the Back to the Beginning tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, where Slash rocked a pair of his 3.0 ’buckers. In his own words, the Slash 3.0 set “is basically just one more step up. You have more output, but still that same clarity and honesty of the sound of the guitar.” Plus, Sweetwater’s Slash superfans are pleased to report that the Slash 3.0 set sports authentic vintage-inspired construction in line with his previous pickups, including rough-cast Alnico 5 magnets and a wax-potted design to eliminate noise and squeals. Whether you’re supercharging your SG à la Slash at the Back to the Beginning concert or seeking a more cutting sound out of your single-cut, Seymour Duncan’s Slash 3.0 pickups are sure to sate your tonal appetite.

For over 60 years, Keith Richards has set the standard for what a “rock guitarist” should be in sound, style, and attitude. His influence on the development of 20th-century music is truly immeasurable, inspiring countless musicians around the world as arguably the most prolific riff writer in rock history. And while “Keef” is undeniably a man of many guitars, few can match the iconic imagery of his blacked-out ES-355, re-created here in museum-grade glory with the Gibson Custom Keith Richards 1960 ES-355. Using advanced 3D scanning, period-accurate parts, and aging from the Murphy Lab, the Keith Richards 1960 ES-355 precisely emulates the guitar so famously favored on such watershed albums as Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St., starting with a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body mated to a weight-relieved maple center block. Next, two Custombucker pickups with aged Alnico V magnets capture the airy, resonant sound of this premium semi-hollow construction with all the warmth, clarity, and dynamic range of the iconic PAF humbuckers of yore. On the other end, the mahogany neck wears a custom Keith Richards profile, topped with a bound ebony fingerboard with medium-wide frets, mirroring the feel of Keith’s own axe. The hardware is equally authentic, comprising an expressive Bigsby B7 vibrato, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and an ABR-1 bridge in a well-worn golden finish. A stunning set of period-correct trim rounds it all out, including multi-ply body/headstock binding, mother-of-pearl block inlays, and Gibson’s iconic split-diamond headstock inlay. Limited to a select number of models worldwide and boasting a hand-signed label from Keith on the F-hole sticker, the Gibson Custom Keith Richards 1960 ES-355 is your chance to own an era-defining piece of rock ’n’ roll history.

This guitar features a hollow 2-piece ash body, maple neck and rosewood. Equipped with a TV Jones Classic in the neck position and a Fender 51 Nocaster single coil in the bridge position. Controlled by 1-volume, 1-tone knobs and a 3-way blade switch. The 25.5" scale length neck has clay dot inlays and 21 sanko 6105 frets with a 59 large C neck profile. The hardware is comprised of Fender vintage tuning machines, a bone nut, a Bigsby B5 bridge and vibrato tailpiece and knurled chrome flat top knobs with a 60s Tele tortoise pickguard.
