Univox 1011 - The Future Is Shiny And Blue

A fine example of just one of the many "interesting" choices made in the 1970s, we present the Univox 1011 in all it's glittery blue glory. Behind that futuristic facade hides an old school design that packs considerable punch. With plates running in excess of 650 volts the four 6L6s in the power section will turn your insides to mush and make you cry tears of joy. They will also arc and burn your tube sockets into little briquettes. All four sockets had to be replaced along with the toasted power tubes. The vintage RCA preamp tubes survived and sound perfect. The odd-ball values of some of the power filter capacitors made them hard to find, but once replaced the amp fires up happy and healthy. This beast of an amp is now back in the hands of Mr. J.M. Jones and his band Pistil Whipped Project. Check out their BandCamp page, or go see them live and maybe get a taste of all the shiny blue goodness that 1971 had to offer.
