If you’ve ever wondered how a place like this got started, you are about to find out. This forum was originally created to be a home for those who were enthusiastic about everything VOX. But that just wasn’t enough. The need for a place to get real answers attracted amp techs, guitar techs, musicians of all ranks, hobbyists and gear enthusiasts of all levels form all over the world. This is home to the all them.
Founded in 1999, the Vintage Amps Message Forum was originally one of the few, and possibly only, resource for inside information on the elusive sounds that so many wanted to find using the vintage amps that were hallmark for making the greatest recordings of all times. These old amps were at one time the sound of the golden era of Rock and Roll and of course some of the most sought after guitarist to ever take the stage. These sounds are not easy to get and you couldn’t walk into a music store and simply buy them, you first had to learn how they were created and with what equipment. The Message Forum had grown over time and its reputation for finding out the details of these specialty sounds were the foundation to the attraction of the message board.
The Vintage Amps Message Forum is also a great resource for those who were simply trying to resolve issues with their gear. It’s a lonely world when you are the owner of a old amp that no one has parts for, or even knows what it is. The Vintage Amps Message Forum filled a great void. It supplied not only the knowledge to those who were searching for that information, but it also became an excellent environment for people to socialize. There is a friendly environment that is easy for people to feel comfortable and that fosters a good environment for someone to ask a question without feeling like they will be attacked, an unfortunate experience found on many other message forums.
