RocketRick Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Whatta you pro dudes think about this old thing? http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b79/RocketRick/?action=view¤t=Uni-Vox.jpg Model is U-1226 Lead. Its all tubes 60 watt output. It has 2 input channels with separate volumes. One channel is bright and one normal. Also, the bright channel's volume knob can be pulled out and it says PULL HB beside it. Weird huh? I don't know what the HB means. High Beam? It has 2 ouputs and 8/16 ohm switch. It also has reverb and tremelo. Serial no is 220847. Not sure of the year. Hope to use it with the ES 140T in the future and try out the old Jr's P90's thru it. Whatcha stink?

picker Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 It's not a Vox, It's a Univox. No connection between the two companies. Jeff Beck used Univoxes on one of his tours with Beck, Bogert & Appice. Never had any experience with them myself. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

Caevan O’Shite Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 No experience with them; tell us what you think! Is it working now, or do you need to fix it up? If it's working, how does it sound?

RocketRick Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well doggone it I ain't been playin' thru it since I got er fixed up. I remember now. In early 2007 I asked 'ole Myles about it. He said take it to a good tech. Whelp I did find an oldster like him that even went to the same electronics school I did in the early 80's. He said he fixed a connection for the screen grid. Whatever that means. Then he replaced 3 12AX7's and 2 matched 6l6GC's. I stink I played the ric thru it since and it did ok. I was playing my Ric thru it and figured it must have fried it but Paul, the Tech, said no probs playing the bass thru it. Hmm? What's funny is I've never played a guitar much thru it really. Dumb huh? Specially since that is what its meant for. I got a feeling that when I play the ES and that old Jr thru it its gonna be as creamy as a nubile in New Orleans on New Years night. I used to play the Ric thru it, before I had it fixed, into 15" speaker. Lovely tone with that. Shoot I figured one of you string heads would offer me a couple grand for it and then I could buy a better banjo..Ha!. Money may buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.

RocketRick Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 OH, its contingent on him, Todd my brother, not wanting to learn banjo. Moreover, if you don't take to it, you can just mail it back. Sound like deal Miller? If so, I'll let ya know via PM. Money may buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.

Caevan O’Shite Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Oh, man! That's a really kind and friendly offer, Rocket! I'd feel like a heel if I took you up on it, though, like I was taking advantage of you! Thank you very much, though, please don't be offended by my not taking you up on that- I'd just not feel right about it, it's just me! As for that Univox amp, yeah, you should definitely try your guitars through it, it might sound really good, especially a little cranked-up! And, playing a bass through it won't hurt the amp any, as long as it's connected to the correct impedance, the impedance of the speakers connected. Now, the speakers, that's another story- playing a bass through "guitar" speakers, especially at higher volumes, could put a hurt on the speakers!
