Vox Continental 300
Discontinued 1972Released 1970
The last of the two-manual Continentals: integrated-circuit tone generation, Hammond-style presets on the upper manual (Vox, Mood, Club, Church, Jazz), percussion and built-in spring reverb. Sturdier on its optional tilting stand, though the reverb famously crashed if the Z-stand bounced. Rare and sought after.
