Up for sale, a 1960s Meteor U-45B 1×12 combo amp in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a footswitch to engage the Tremolo. This rare Japanese-made amp was crafted by Univox in OEM capacity for their little-seen Meteor brand, identical to the Univox-branded combo of the same name. Sparingly little information is available as to the nature of the Meteor brand specifically, but it was likely used by Unichord/Univox for the Japanese domestic market. This combo features a single channel, three-input design (Guitar, Acc, Aux), delivering 10W of power with simple Volume, Tone, and Tremolo (speed) controls. Surprisingly full-sounding given its form factor, this U-45B offers muscular, expansive lows (enhanced by the relative depth of the cabinet) and punchy, crisp trebles that aren’t overly pointed or brittle. The circuit cascades into creamy, harmonic-rich overdrive around 6 on the dial, thickening up further when diming the amp out. The Tremolo has a strong pulse, only active with the footswitch plugged in, with the knob governing the speed of the effect. The circuit is very original and recapped as needed, retaining the stock transformers. A three-prong cable has also been installed. Tubes include a matched pair of Toshiba 6BM8s, a 12AX7 and a 6X4 (rectifier). This amp is loaded with a Weber Signature Series Sig12F 12 speaker, designed for early’50s Tweed-style tone that accentuates the amp’s overdrive capabilities. There are just a few small marks on the black tolex, the gray grillcloth is clean, and the Meteor badge is present. The silkscreened graphics on the control plate are pristine, and the original trio of reflector cap knobs is present. A modern footswitch is included.

It has been brought up to voltage with a variac and tested. All functions seem to work, but it is very scratchy when turning controls and will need further attention including a good pot cleaning. You may want to recap as well. I noticed no excessive heat other than the normal tube heat. No humming came through in the sound as I tested. I ran it for 45 minutes and then powered it down. It will be packed very carefully , bubbled, and double boxed with both cushioned protection for tubes, as well as foam board layers all around.

I haven’t built one of these vintage stand alone amps for a few years. But came across this powerhouse Silvertone EL84 Stereo amp, and I just had to bring it back to life.. What a fantastic sounding amp! All you need is a pair of 8 ohm or higher speakers and you can simply hook up your ipod or iphone to this! If you want to run something like a CD player, you would of course need a preamp.. This amp is super quiet. No noise whatsoever on pause or in between music tracks. This has all new electrolytics, including a CE USA can capacitor. A re-filled original cardboard can capacitor, new silicon diodes, AC cord, red pilot light in front, a. On/off switch, rca inputs for your music source, and speaker binding posts for connecting your 8 ohm or higher speakers. Four Silvertone EL 84′s, all matched, and dual 12AX7a’s, NOS Sylvania. Chassis was painted in a fun red. And the amp is mounted on a custom board with vintage black coverings. This amp looks cool, and sounds awesome! What more can I say? Thanks for looking, Jimmy O.
