VOX STARSTREAM TYPE 1 PLUS

This is the all new second generation VOX Starstream Type 1 Plus. An electric guitar like no other – the Vox Starstream Type 1 Plus.

Created to provide a wide range of sounds including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, synths and other stringed instruments, the VOX Starstream Type-1P is the ultimate product if you are seeking a new way of looking at what a guitar is and what it can do. Whether you are playing with a band, in the studio or practicing silently at night with headphones, the Starstream Type-1P offers exciting new possibilities.

You may be surprised to learn that VOX pioneered the innovative use of electronics in their guitars back in the 1960s. Models such as the Phantom Guitar Organ took guitarists to uncharted waters and the Ultrasonic featured built-in effects such as fuzz, treble/bass boost and repeater.

With the new Starstream series, VOX have taken a fresh approach to the modern electric guitar. This is the second generation of the Starstream series. Equipped with the innovative AREOS-D system, this new line includes the much-requested passive mode that gives you the option to play the Starstream without the need for battery power.

Other important upgrades have been made to the onboard sounds and the modeling guitar types have benefitted from a detailed tune-up, making them even more useful and more inspiring.

At the heart of the VOX Starstream Type 1 Plus is the AREOS-D system, the latest expression of VOX’s long-standing tradition of breaking through the boundaries of onboard guitar electronics and assigning unprecedented control over your sound at your fingertips.

The AREOS-D system integrates several essential elements:

• Magnetic pickups for authentic electric guitar models
• A piezo pickup system for rich-sounding traditional instruments
• A powerful DSP engine
• Familiar volume, tone and pickup selector controls
• The Control Module that provides instant access to important parameters
• The all new Passive mode that allows the magnetic pickups to be used without battery power through the preamp

Advanced ergonomic considerations have resulted in a new and unique frame construction. While traditional electric guitar designs are rooted in the 1950s, the Starstream Type-1 follows a new path. Its shape and form echo the forward thinking offered by its electronics. The frame is three dimensionally contoured for maximum comfort, easily conforming to your personal style. Along with its light weight, the Starstream is a guitar that you can play for hours on end.

Equipped with a smoothly shaped neck, unlimited upper fret access, warm-toned resonant wood body, specially voiced magnetic pickups and a balanced, easy to use tremolo system – this is the ultimate modern guitar. Our PRO-SCM setup ensures maximum comfort and playability.
