Univox was a musical instrument brand of Unicord Corporation from the 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 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 the Univox brand was phased out. In the early 1960s the Unicord Corporation, a manufacturer of electric transformers, purchased the Amplifier Corporation of America of Westbury, New York and began marketing a line of amplifiers under the name of “Univox”. The company was purchased by Gulf+Western in 1967. Guitar making operations moved to Japan in 1975, where they continued until 1982. Production under the Univox name was halted after a fire at the Matsumoku factory, after which instruments were made in Korea under the name of “Westbury”. The Unicord Corporation was purchased by Korg in 1985, effectively ending the line. (Wikipedia Source)
