*PRICE DROPPED!** Vintage 1971 - Made in U.K. 30~45 Watt All VALVE / TUBE Guitar Combo! 2 x 12 Celestion Silver Bell AlNiCo speakers!
An incredibly rare version of the 1965-1968 VOX AC30/6 TB circuit; Made by the founders post exiting VOX!
Engineered by Vox founder Tom Jennings and Circuit designer Dick Denney.
After Jennings was squeezed out of Vox, he started Jennings Electronics Industries, and with Dick Denney they started producing the JV-40 which was for all intents and purposes identical to the 1965-1968 design of the Vox AC-30/6 Top Boost Models.

The main difference is an improved tube placement (wider spacing for better heat dissipation) and the absence of a dedicated Choke transformer.
The rare variant as listed here has Organ-style Drawbars rather than rotary controls.

**NOT to be confused with the Solid State ‘J40’ or Rotary knob Tube version ‘AC40’ - This is the rarest variant created by JEI post VOX. No other featured drawbars and the Vacuum Tube circuit.**

4 x EL84 Power Tubes, GZ34 Rectifier, 12AX7 Preamps and Top Boost.

This example comes stock with its’ 2 x Original Celestion T1096 Silver Bell AlNiCo Speakers which both featuring their original voice coils, paper cones, and spider springs and are sounding incredible.
The JV-40 also features Tremolo and true Vibrato (must engage footswitch to activate).
3 Channels with 3 x separate volume controls for Vibrato, Normal and Brilliant Channels.

The vast majority of components are manufacturer original with the exception of a few electrolytic capacitors. Features Tremolo and true Vibrato (footswitchable only) and Vibrato, Normal and Brilliant Channels. All components (except for some electrolytic capacitors) are original, however, it looks like the input transformer is a previous replacement for 240 Volt operation. Footswitch is a hardwired lead (any standard latching switch will work).

240 Volts with pin adaptor on the UK style plug. Features Tremolo and true Vibrato (footswitchable only) and Vibrato, Normal and Brilliant Channels. All components (except for some electrolytic capacitors) are original. The input transformer is an old replacement for 240 Volt operation only. Footswitch is a hardwired lead (any standard latching switch will work).

Vintage and RARE. Circa 1973-78 - Made in Italy by JEN/FBT.
A very rare variant in the Tonebender timeline. At first this unit appears to be the VOX V828 MkII Tonebender and indeed shares the same graphics face plate as the 2nd version V828s.
However, this particular circuit varies greatly due to its use of Silicon transistors instead of Germanium, and the introduction of a Diode clipping stage. The result a fuzz that does behave and sound like a Tonebender MKII Pro, but with more bite, more treble, a lot more available volume, and far less compression when driven hard.
The same case and circuit are found in later JEN FUZZ pedals, but it is a mystery as to whether this circuit was invented firstly to fulfil an order of VOX Tonebenders, or if it was a pre-existing JEN circuit that they later badged as VOX in order to fulfil an order (the timing of events would determine if it is a ‘legit’ Tonebender variant, or a sneaky contractural obligation fulfilment).
The JEN FUZZ can be found online featuring this exact case and circuit board but with a JEN faceplate covering the 3 x slots, and JEN Italy baseplate graphic.
All Original and very cool.
