The VOX Continental MkII, how it was called in England/ Europe or Supercontinental, how it was called in the US, is the two manual version of the Continental. |
It has nearly the same stops, like the smaller Continental MkI. |
A bass pedal board and some expression pedals were optionally available for the Supercontinental. |
