Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
My VOX JMI/AC30tb '63, Frankenstein box of dreams.
Story goes it was in Lulu's band, but the case had had it. JMI were starting to build their own named combos and had this prototype case knocking around.
So it's still an late 1963 AC30tb but the switches are the correct way, no vents on top, flush top,proper handles on the side. Weighs more than I can carry.
Used to get it serviced by Alan Pyne at the old Vox factory in Dartford, then a PA/Disco hire shop in the 80s and early 90s, I lived near. It was all black when I got it in 87, but convinced Alan (we were both a bit tipsy) to put VOX cloth (very last piece they had) and badges on (last ever from Dartford) , looks weird, unique, wrong to many, but an incredible sounding amp. Almost impossible to value!
It's still the best amp I have ever heard, even though it looks very odd indeed.
At some point someone, we think in the late 60s, when the case was changed, also did something to the trem inputs as it acts like a
lower powered overdrive channel, just sounds sublime. Still has one original blue speaker, so ideal for micing up. I must do a you tube video on it, as far as I know it's a one of a kind -
That Pedal Show are interested in it. So may be one of their shows this year.

Ok, here's my main amp, a half-power-ish 633 DriveKing, flanked by the guitars I built for my boys in 2017....
