The Super Stack / De Luxe
Vox in their 1966 catalogue advertised special double cab stack versions of the biggest amps; the 4120 De Luxe and 7120 De Luxe. Their demo pic had what looks like a single-handled 7120 head for the 7series version, with two smaller 7/460 size cabs and what looks like the 460 prototype head as seen in the Vox Story’. (LINK)
No surviving rigs with the trolley have turned up; they might have been witnessed though by Carl Nielsen, who had worked on them himself at Triumph, at a gig by the Troggs at the Orchid in Purley (Triumph used the area under the stage as a storage area). That was on one of the Orchid’s revolving stages; pretty precarious for a stacked rig with a heavy 120-watt amp on top, if the trolleys were used. Carl said it was possible they used the big cabinets ; we experimented, and found this was actually fairly stable, as demonstrated here;
A 460/4120 rig was seen behind Jimmy Hendrix at one of his gigs in Italy – LINK)
stacked cabinets (without trolleys) were also used at the Rome Festival in May 1968 (MORE HERE), as seen here;
– this rig in Italy could possibly be a survivor from either of these –
An unusual arrangement of stacked 730 heads & cabs can be seen in the New Order video for “love Will Tear Us Apart”;
