European rock acts, famous and nameless. Despite this fact, very
few Continentals survive to this day, due to poor construction, or
parts wearing out and disintegrating. Very sad – considering that the
Vox Continental was just about the most wicked-looking piece of 60's
kitsch-cool you ever saw. And wicked sounding – in a brash, cutting
way. Nothing like its chief rival, the weighty, massive Hammond B3.
That was for soul-men, prog-rockers and church types. Not for skinny
stovepipe pant-wearing, paisley-shirted mods.
I've included all seven "drawbars" for this Vox Continental voice – so
you can move the sliders and adjust the sound. Instant "Austin
Powers" vibe. Yeah, baby, yeah.
Vox Continental – look, someone added pedals!
