Very cool and rare 1960’s/70's Vox Supreme Amp Head.

The Vox Supreme—introduced in early 1967 by Jennings Musical Instruments (JMI)—was Vox’s flagship 100-watt solid-state amplifier. Known for its built-in distortion, reverb, and Top Boost/Mid-Range Boost circuits, it was adopted by several prominent rock, blues, and pop artists of the late 1960s and early 1970s:

Rory Gallagher owned and used a 1967 Vox Supreme Super Twin stack ( paired with a Vox 4x12 cabinet).While he is most famously associated with his 1960s Vox AC30 tube combo (boosted by a Dallas Rangemaster), Gallagher kept a 1967 Vox Supreme in his gear collection.

The Rolling Stones (Keith Richards & Brian Jones)
​The Stones were the first high-profile band issued Vox Supreme stacks in March 1967 ahead of their European tour.
​Keith Richards famously ran his Gibson Les Paul into a Vox Supreme during the recording sessions for "Sympathy for the Devil" (immortalized in Jean-Luc Godard's 1968 film One Plus One).

While the Beatles predominantly used Vox’s hybrid 7-Series (7120, 730) and tube AC100s during studio sessions at Abbey Road, they also utilized solid-state Vox Supreme units in 1967–1968.

Cream (Eric Clapton)
​Eric Clapton performed using a Vox Supreme stack alongside Jack Bruce (who used a companion Super Foundation Bass amp) during the Daily Express Record Stars Show at Wembley in April 1967—one of the earliest live public debuts of the Vox solid-state series.

Thank you for letting me know, these are fantastic and fun amps but without knowing a bit more of what’s going on inside in terms of original circuit/repairs I’d not be able to commit to it.

@ConnollySavage I honestly don't know.All I was told was that it just stopped working in the 90's and was put into storage since then.

What does the amp need to get up and running again?
Has it been previously repaired?
The last time it was working did the trem and fuzz sections work?
