Vox has teamed up with electric guitar legend Sir Brian May for two signature guitar amps, both of which promise to deliver the Queen icon’s historic tone in tiny packages, GuitarWorld report.
Few guitar/gear combos are as iconic as the Red Special and the Vox AC30, and it's these classic amp tones that Vox has sought to provide with its latest signature offering. Specifically, as May puts it, the amps aim to bring “the sounds you make in a stadium show into your living room”.
There are two amps on tap: the amPlug Brian May guitar headphone amp and the Nutube technology-loaded MV50 Brian May. Unsurprisingly, the former is all about tones at standard headphone level, modeled after a cranked AC30 signal chain and featuring a Treble Booster setting.
Brian May to release two iconic Red Special - For a limited period only, Queen guitarist put on production brand new Brian May Guitars Special.
It has been quite a journey to arrive at this point. (wites Brian May on his website) Through the years there has been a multitude of replicas of the “Old Lady” built by both amateurs and professionals, including two major issues - from Guild Guitars of the USA, and Burns UK - but, as of 2004, I am pleased to say that the commercial Red Special has at last come home.
I was concerned that it ought to be me personally who controlled the design and manufacture of these instruments and so I have teamed up with Barry Moorhouse of House Music and Pete Malandrone, my long-time tech man, to create a brand new range, our aim being to make the absolute best products at an affordable price, so that all may enjoy the special sound and feel of a Brian May designed guitar.
Cheers - and Rock!! (Brian May) Click here to the custom guitars
