Vox VBM-1

Post by Bacchus »

Any ideas what these usually go for? There's a shop in Belfast has one for a hundred pound. This shop is usually really shitty about prices though.

I'm more sort of nosey about this than anything else. I won't buy it, like. I've always like the look of these amps and will pick one up eventually, but not now.

I'm wondering how they've held their value. Weren't they like, a hundred and fifteen new?

Something like that, yeah. I actually really wanted one too, I saw them going for £50-£60 easy before they were discontinued, so that seems a bit steep, but they seem to be pretty rare now.

Half an hour to go and this only has thirty quid on it.

Aye. It's basically the Deacy amp. It also has something called a Booster Out, which I think might be a pre amp out so that you can use the Deacy booster to drive another amp.

Not particularly versatile, but fun and good for what it is I reckon.

Plus, y'know, it's a wee amp, and I like wee amps.
