Vox 7001 Distortion 1980

The Vox Model 7001 (sometimes labeled Model 9001) Distortion Pedal was introduced in the 1981 "Vox: Born Out of Rock" product catalog and produced for Vox by Guyatone of Japan. The trapezoidal shape of the die cast aluminum case allowed several Vox 7000 series to form a curved array on the floor.

The pedal operated on either a 9 volt battery or an optional 9 VDC external power supply. The pedal featured two rotary controls: Output and Distortion. A red LED illuminated to indicate the effect was in use. A pair of standard ¼" jacks served as the audio input and output.
