Vox started a long, long time ago, back in 1957, in England. A man named Tom Jennings wanted to make music sound better. He created his first amplifier, and it was a big hit! Soon, musicians all over wanted to play through Vox gear. It was like a brand-new sound that everyone loved. This invention helped start a music revolution, making guitars sound louder and more exciting than ever before.
