==Products== ===Univox amplifiers=== [[File:Univox U45B amplifier.jpg|thumb|200px|A Univox U45-B tube combo amplifier from the mid-1960s.]] [[File:UNIVOX U-1010 B-Group amp head.jpg|thumb|200px|A Univox "B-Group" amp head from the early 1970s. Model: U-1011]] A number of tube and solid-state amplifiers were produced by Univox over the years. These ranged from small practice combo amps to powerful heads with separate cabinets. Some models had built-in [[spring reverb]] and [[tremolo]] effects. In 1971, Univox introduced the B Group amplifiers, covered in two-toned blue or gray [[Tolex]] with distinctive ovaloid cosmetics.<ref> {{cite web |title=Univox Amplifiers |url=http://www.VintageUnivox.com/amps/uniamp.html |work=VintageUnivox.com}}</ref> The C-Group (UX) line of amps were used by [[The Jeff Beck Group]] and [[Led Zeppelin]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wholelottaled.webs.com/univoxux1501.htm| title=Whole Lotta Led}}</ref> ===Univox guitars=== In 1962, Gulf and Western acquired Merson Musical Products, an importer of various headstock-brand guitars such as Tempo, Giannini and [[Hagström]]. Around 1968, they started producing Univox-branded guitars. Unicord and Merson split in 1975, but Unicord continued to make Univox guitars until about 1978, even adding some newer models.<ref name=VintageUnivox.com> {{cite web |title=The Univox Page |url=http://www.VintageUnivox.com/ |work=VintageUnivox.com}}</ref> ====Electric guitars==== [[File:UNIVOX GUITAR hi-flier phase3.jpg|thumb|300px|Univox Hi Flier Phase 3 guitar]] [[File:UNIVOX GUITAR gimme.jpg|thumb|300px|Univox Gimme guitar, natural finish]] *Badazz *[[Univox Coily|Coily]] *Custom *Custom 335 (six and twelve-string versions)<ref name="guitars"> {{cite journal |last=Wright |first=Michael |title=Univox Guitars – Merson/Unicord Part 1 |url=http://www.vintageguitar.com/1952/univox-guitars/ |journal=[[Vintage Guitar (magazine)|Vintage Guitar]] |issue=February 1998}}</ref> *Deluxe *{{Proper name|eEagle}} *Effie (six and twelve-string versions)<ref name="guitars" /> *Gimmie *HR-2 *[[Univox Hi-Flier|Hi-Flier]] *Les Paul Copy (black and goldtop) *Limited Edition Series (double-cut Les Paul Junior copy) *Lucy *Mother/Rhythm and Blues *Pro (Jazzbix) *Ripper *Royce *UC-2 *UC-3 *Westbury Standard *Westbury Performer ====Bass guitars==== *Badazz *Coily *Hi-Flier *Naked *Precisely *Eagle *Professional *Stereo *UB-1 *[[Univox 'Lectra|'Lectra]] ====Acoustic guitars==== *Auditorium *Artist Series *Dove *'Grass ===Univox keyboards=== [[File:Korg PE-1000 (Univox K4).jpg|thumb|300px|Univox K4 (1976, Korg PE-1000)]] *Univox K4 *Univox MaxiKorg K3 *Univox MiniKorg K1/K2 *Univox Stringman (see {{cite web |url=http://www.keyboardmuseum.com/pic/u/univ/stgman.jpg |title=link |others=|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101219071805/http://keyboardmuseum.com/pic/u/univ/stgman.jpg |archivedate=2010-12-19}}) ===Univox Drum Machines=== [[File:Korg Mini-Pops SR-120 Desktop.jpg|thumb|Univox Mini-Pops SR-120 (mid-1970s)]] * Univox JR-4 * Univox SR-55 * Univox SR-95 * Univox SR-120 ===Univox effects=== [[File:Shin-ei Uni-Vibe (1968), Jimi Hendrix, EMP Museum (clean).jpg|thumb|[[Uni-Vibe]] (ca.1968) {{nowrap|formerly owned by [[Jimi Hendrix]]}}]] Univox had many effects units, generally made by Shin-Ei, but perhaps their most well known was the [[Univox Super Fuzz|Super-Fuzz]] Pedal, used by [[Pete Townshend]].<ref name=VintageUnivox.com/> Univox also produced the [[Uni-Vibe]], a chorus/vibrato that attempted to emulate a [[Leslie speaker]] effect, popularized by [[Jimi Hendrix]].
