Wow... I always thought Mr. Marvin had a fantastic tone. Sure, he also
had his mind, fingers, Strat/Burns, and tape echo in the
equation...but the Vox was a large component to that wonderful sound.
I don't know too much about amps, in fact I have probably played
through a total of about 7 in my entire life. But I have seen Ivan
play about 5 times, and I always think he sounds great through his
Vox. In fact I can usually hear him the best out of all the other
bands on the bill (except when the sound guy tells him to turn down).
If I recall correctly Ivan has replaced the speakers in his Vox and
maybe had some other tweaking done on it though.
I would be interested in hearing from people who have played through
both vintage Vox and Fender amps and have them describe the
differences.
Thanks,
BN
