I've always loved the trapezoidal looks of the American made Vox amps. Yes, the Beatles only used them on the final U.S. tour in '66, but they used solid state gear to record in the mid 60's and it sounded great. This amp is old (or vintage) paired with it's cab it looks fantastic. All the detail you'd ever need is on the Vox Showroom site. It plays fine (and foot-switch works and they are hard to find), but has a bit of a hum and needs tweaking (which I'm told can be done). It is loud and bright.

I'm lucky to have the red version, which is fun.

You can get wild sitar sounds out of it, but also atonal not so musical sounds if you are not careful. Takes some experimenting. Turn the lights down low and trip out.

It can generate a wide variety of fuzz tones from smooth to harsh but still musical. And it looks fantastic! Not many of these made (somehow I got one).

I have the white early '70's one with single pole pickups. The neck is comfortable and the balance is good. When I take it to the rehearsal space everyone checks it out (as in what the hell is that ... uh, can I try it?). It sounds fine. I'm not sure it has a distinctive tone, but you can certainly make your own via pedals or amp. It "colors" well if you do that.
