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.
History
In the early 1960s the Unicord Corporation, a manufacturer of electronic transformers, purchased the Amplifier Corporation of America of Westbury, New York. They 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 making guitars until 1982. Production under the Univox name was halted after a fire at the Matsumoku factory. After this time instruments were made in Korea under the name "Westbury". The Unicord Corporation was purchased by Korg in 1985, effectively ending the line for good.

The Beginning Of My End
by: UnificsUp drove the Hearse, Caddillac
A crowd of people gathered round it all dressed in black
And as they removed her body from the car
Such pain I never knew, did fill my hear
I lost the only one I've ever loved
The Lord has returned up above
Life will never be the same again
It was the beginning of my end
It happened on a Saturday night
My love and I had just had a silly fight
She got into her car and angrily drove away
Neither of us knew then, that she would never see another day
What have I done Lord to deserve this misery
all my life and all my world have come falling down on me end
I was a home watching my TV
When the noise of the phone rudely disturbed me
I wasn't too sure at first, just what the doctor meant
When he informed me that there had been an accident
Why, oh why, I heard her mother cry
As I rushe to the scene with the tears in my eyes
Somebody asked, somebody asked who was the next of kin
