| The V117 Sovereign Bass amp head was introduced in 1968 and was rated at 60 watts RMS, 120 watts peak into a 4 ohm load. Two 2N3055 power transistors powered the output amplifier. This 60 watt modular power amp section was also used in the Royal Guardsman amplifier.
On the following web page, the control panel and features of the Sovereign head are explained in detail.
The trapezoid cabinet design of the US Vox Sovereign amp head was influenced by the JMI Vox AC-30SRT. The Sovereign shared this same head cabinet with the Buckingham, Royal Guardsman, Westminster, Super Beatle and Beatle amplifiers.
