Up for sale, a 1967 Vox Continental model V401 E/2 in excellent condition, freshly serviced and complete with the original chrome Z legs, matching legs case, and Volume pedal. While the Continental may be the undisputed King of the Combo Organs, its big brother the Super Continental builds on the traditional Connie platform with a dual manual design, enhanced bass register functionality, and revoiced manuals with distinct drawbar footings.
This Vox dishes out everything from deep, B3-esque swirl to quintessential '60s kitsch. The lower manual is essentially identical to a single manual Vox Continental, yet shifted an octave up in terms of drawbar footings, and the versatility and nuance available with just this six drawbar design is truly staggering. The 8-16" Bass switch allows for deeper, fuller sounds than a typical Continental, and the additional Bass Sustain knob further enhances this C to C 13 note dedicated bass range. A pair of additional Bass-dedicated drawbars also govern this section. The upper manual has five drawbars for the various footings (instead of the usual four), and the II and III ranges allow for some particularly sparkling and bright harmonic clusters. The complexity and sheer variety of the tones available make the Continental the standout choice for gigging and studio work. Nothing comes close to emulating the rich, edgy organ textures of a Continental, and their reliability and tonal versatility made them a favorite of the Beatles, the Doors, Elvis Costello, and many others.
This organ has been fully serviced, with numerous modern electrolytic caps to ensure reliable functionality for stage and studio use, while the "cards" for the individual notes are largely untouched with a treasure trove of original transistors. All drawbar settings and keys are responding as they should, and the keys are level and play smoothly with a responsive action. All of the drawbars have been cleaned so as to engage properly at all settings, moving smoothly with a satisfying "click". All drawbar tips are original, as are the On/Off and Vibrato switches. The original two-prong power cable receptacle has been replaced with a modern three-prong IEC.
Cosmetically, this organ retains its original smooth gray covering on the organ and textured orange top, complete with the Super Continental nameplate. The tiny "Made in Italy" badge is present above the larger model/serial number plaque on the bottom of the organ. On the inside of the lid and base of the organ, the original model badges have matching serial numbers, along with date stamps from April, 1967.
The original Z legs and leg braces are included, with bright chrome that shows light surface patina. The matching Z legs case is also included, and most of the small rubber "belts" inside the case are still functional, along with the case's two main latches. The wingnuts for mounting the legs to the organ are all original, while the two bolts holding the leg braces are modern.
The original Volume pedal is also included, with a clean gray hammerite exterior and attached 1/4" cables for connecting to the organ and an amp.
