The First Vox Amplifier
During the early 1950s, keyboards were Jennings' main interest, rather than guitars, although he did attempt to modify organ amplifiers for use with electric guitars, but had little success and the project was shelved. Dick Denney however, was also experimenting with amplifying guitars and succeeded in producing a 15 watt unit paired with a 12 inches (300 mm) speaker. After adding a tremolo unit, he produced two more prototypes, one of which was taken to Jennings. Jennings offered Denny a job with his company now named Jennings Musical Industries (JMI), which Denny accepted as engineer. Denny continued to develop his prototype and in 1957 the AC2/30 was launched, the first guitar amplifier to be branded under the Vox name.
