Ukuqhathanisa Neminye Imikhiqizo
Uma kuqhathaniswa namanye amabhrendi, ama-VOX amps namaphedali emiphumela asekelwe kakhulu kumagugu awo futhi athathwa njenge-notability encyclopedic. Bangene emakethe ngezindaba ezijwayelekile kanye nemibiko yabezindaba, kodwa imikhiqizo yabo inweba ngokufanelekile futhi ihlangabezane nezindinganiso zekhwalithi ephezulu. Mayelana nokubukeka komzimba, ama-amps e-VOX avame ukuqhathaniswa nemiklamo ye-toaster noma ye-lunchbox, kuyilapho ama-pedals awo emiphumela anethempulethi yezimonyo neyokusebenza eyaziwa kubadlali abaningi besiginci.

Isiphetho
Ngakho-ke, yaqala kanjalo-ke iVox nendlela abawuthonye ngayo umhlaba wesiginci. Baziwa ngama-amps abo, kodwa futhi ngeziginci zabo, futhi sebeneminyaka engaba ngu-70 manje.
Bayinkampani yaseBrithani futhi bebesenzela abaculi imikhiqizo eyikhwalithi emhlabeni wonke. Ngakho-ke, uma ufuna i-amp entsha noma isiginci, kufanele nakanjani ucabangele ukuhlola ukuthi iVox izokunikeza ini!
NginguJoost Nusselder, umsunguli we-Neaera kanye nomkhangisi wokuqukethwe, ubaba, futhi ngiyathanda ukuzama izinto ezintsha ngesiginci enhliziyweni yesifiso sami, futhi kanye nethimba lami, bengilokhu ngidala izindatshana zebhulogi ezijulile kusukela ngo-2020. ukusiza abafundi abathembekile ngokurekhoda namathiphu esiginci.
