Love that story. Great playing and cool amp as well. Made a BIG mistake a few years ago when I traded a vintage JMI VOX AC10 for a different amp. Should have kept the VOX! It was in excellent pristine condition and even had its original funky green dust cover. All components were original...including the Mullard tube set. Lesson learned the hard way. The amp was perfect for playing in church as it could get classic VOX tone at a reasonable volume....which the sound man loved. No requests to "turn down your amp, please"

"Turn your amp down, please?" You don't need that kind of negativity in your life!!!🤣 Thanks for watching!
