According to Vox 's founding editors, the site seeks to explain news by providing additional contextual information not usually found in traditional news sources. The cards are perpetually maintained as a form of "wiki page written by one person with a little attitude". Vox uses Vox Media's Chorus content management system , which enables journalists to easily create articles with complex visual effects and transitions, such as photos that change as the reader scrolls.

The Economist , commenting on Klein's launching essay "How politics makes us stupid", [11] said the website was "bright and promising" and site's premise of "more, better, and more lucidly presented information" was "profoundly honourable", and positively compared the site's mission to John Keats 's negative capability.

John Lennon 's first Vox was a fawn-coloured twin-speaker AC15, while George Harrison 's was a fawn AC30 with a top boost unit installed in the rear panel. They were later provided with twin black-covered AC30s with the rear panel top boost units. Paul McCartney was provided with one of the first transistorised amplifiers, the infamous T60, which featured an unusual separate cabinet outfitted with a 12" and a 15" speaker. The T60 head had a tendency to overheat, and McCartney's was no exception, so he was then provided with an AC30 head which powered the T60's separate speaker cabinet. As the crowds at Beatles shows got louder, they needed louder amps. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lennon favoured the larger amplifier, while Harrison preferred the and McCartney had its sister bass amplifier. A modern popular rock artist known for use of the Super Beatle is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers , although in the April issue of Premier Guitar, lead guitarist Mike Campbell revealed that the Super Beatle backline was, on their thirtieth anniversary tour at least, primarily used only as a stage prop, though Petty used his "on a couple of songs. A photograph included in the article showed Campbell's guitar sound was coming from other amplifiers hidden behind the large Super Beatles, which Campbell stated were "a tweed Fender Deluxe and a blackface Fender Princeton together behind the Super Beatle, and an isolated Vox AC30 that I have backstage in a box. The Monkees concealed themselves in large empty Vox cabinet and emerged from them as a grand entrance to the opening of the shows on the tour and they used real Vox amps for the performances. Vox's first electric guitars, the Apache , Stroller and Clubman were modelled after solid-body, bolt-neck Fenders , which at the time were not available in the UK. A four-string Clubman Bass followed shortly after. These first guitars were low-priced, had unusual TV connector output jacks and were produced by a cabinet maker in Shoeburyness , Essex. The first Phantom guitars were given to The Echoes to trial and were used by them until They can be heard on many of their recordings and records they did with other artists such as Dusty Springfield. Aside from the unusual body and headstock shapes, Phantoms featured copies of the Fender Stratocaster neck and its attachment, the Strat' s three single-coil pick-ups and standard vibrato bridge that in this case copied a Bigsby unit. Aside from being a bit awkward to hold for seated playing, the Phantom guitars now approached professional quality, performance and price. It was followed a year later by the teardrop-shaped Mark VI , the prototype of which had only two pick-ups rather than three and was made specifically for Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones , again using a Bigsby-like " Hank Marvin " bridge. By the end of the decade, Stones bassist Bill Wyman was shown in Vox advertisements playing a teardrop hollow-bodied bass made for him by the company, subsequently marketed as the Wyman Bass. Many guitar gear authorities dispute that he ever actually used the instrument for recording or live performance. See also Vox Bass Guitar. Vox experimented with several built-in effects and electronics on guitars such as the Cheetah , Ultrasonic , and Invader. Ian Curtis of Joy Division is known to have owned two white Vox Phantom VI Special effects guitars which had push button switches on the scratch plate to activate the effects cicuits. Another innovation was the Guitar Organ , which featured miniaturised VOX organ circuitry activated by the contact of the strings on the frets , producing organ tones in key [ clarification needed ] with guitar chords. This instrument was heavy and cumbersome with a steel neck and external circuit boxes, and rarely worked correctly, but was a hallmark of the ingenuity of this company. The Phantom XII and Mark XII both featured a unique Bigsby style string vibrato tailpiece, which made them, along with Semie Moseley 's "Ventures" model string Mosrite , the only 12 string electric guitars to feature such a vibrato. The Stereo Phantom XII had split pick-ups resembling the Fender Precision bass, each half of which could be sent to a separate amplifier using an onboard mix control. Vox produced a number of other models of 6 and 12 string electric guitars in both England and Italy. The Delta phantom style guitar and bass, the Starstream teardrop 6-string, and Constellation teardrop bass had such effects.
