Jii: Vox ei jenkki tainnut ikinä olla.
 
Menee OT:ksi, mutta kyllähän 60-luvun lopulla Vox brändinä oli vähän aikaa jenkki - tosin ei kovin hyvällä kaupallisella, eikä laadullisellakaan menestyksellä. Nuo Vox-jenkkitrankut eivät varmaankaan ole niitä joiden pohjalle nykyinen Vox-brändi haluaa maineensa perustaa:
 
Meanwhile in Sepulveda, Thomas Organ, after importing JMI's British-made amps for a short period in 1964-65, began to produce a line of mostly solid state amplifiers in the United States that carried the Vox name and cosmetic stylings.
 
With some assistance from Dick Denney, these amps basically paralleled JMI's own transistorized amplifiers but were different from the British and Italian made Voxes in sound and reliability.
 
To promote their equipment, Thomas Organ built the Voxmobile, a Ford roadster dressed up to look like a Phantom guitar, complete with a Continental organ and several "Beatle" amplifiers.
 
Despite the huge marketing effort, Thomas Organ's Vox products did much to damage the reputation of Vox in the North American market for many years. By 1968, the company had also marketed a line of Vox drum sets (actually made by a German drum company, known as Trixon), which included a kit that featured a conical-shaped bass (kick) drum, that looked more like a wastepaper basket left on its side, and another with a bass (kick) drum, that looked like a flat tire. Gimmicks like this didn't help sales and by the early 1970s Vox's American presence was virtually nonexistent.
