1960

A match? A picture of two AC15s on stage, NME Poll Winners' Concert, 21st February, 1960; and a detail of the promotional picture of Cliff and the Shadows published in various sources in early 1960. If the amp in the upper pic - which has lost its handle - is not the one in the lower (prior to the handle being lost), then it is a very close twin. Their VOX logos are almost excessively large.

The other AC15 on stage has a logo formed of slanting panels of stick-on letters - of the type normally used for house names (often stuck on gates or door jambs, and so on). Lonnie Donegan had an AC15 with a logo similarly formed.

NME Poll Winners' Concert, 21st February, 1960.

Detail of a photo published fairly widely in the first half of 1960 (see below, entry for 9th March for a large, though still cropped, print). In terms of dated instances, 14th April, 1960 is one.

Around August 1960. Note the three white control knobs for volume and tone, and the larger black one for vibrato selection.

The emblem "Vox 15" - not encountered so far on surviving amps.

1961

Below, the page for the AC15 in the brochure issued by JMI, early to mid 1961, to publicise the AC30 with Celestion blue speakers.

June 1961. The split-front AC15 with circular black Pekkalit control knobs.

1962

A great pic. of a split-front AC15 at the NME Poll Winners' Concert, Empire Pool, Wembley, 15th April, 1962. By 1961, the event had become an extremely useful showcase for JMI. Almost every band on the bill used a Vox amplifier of some description - either their own or one provided by Jennings for the event.
