What is "univox"

For Univox portable keyboards, see Vox (musical equipment)

Univox was a musical instrument brand of Unicord Corporation since early-1960s when they purchased the Amplifier Corporation of America of Westbury, New York and began to market a line of guitar amplifiers. Univox also distributed the guitars by Matsumoku ( Hi-Flier, 'Lectra, etc.), effects units by Shin-Ei Companion ( Super-Fuzz, Uni-Vibe, etc.), and synthesizers by Crumar (Stringman, etc.) and Korg (MiniKorg K1/K2, MaxiKorg K3, etc.).

In 1985, Unicord Corporation was purchased by Korg, and Univox brand was discontinued due to a fire at the Matsumoku factory in 1987.
