Vintage 1966 Vox UL4120 UL Series Guitar Amplifier Head

Vintage 1966 Vox UL4120 UL Series Guitar Amplifier Head

This previously documented amplifier has just been sourced from the original owner, who bought it second hand from Nobles Music in 1971. He has had it ever since and has recently decided to part with it. With only a few said to be left in existence, this amplifier is a collectors dream! This legendary KT88-equipped UL4120 is not only the ultimate tone monster, with its 120-watts of British power, it’s without a doubt one of the rarest amps in the world! The 4 & 7-series amplifiers were used extensively by the Beatles during the recording sessions for the Revolver album and beyond. The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were also users of this short-lived amplifier line. Who knows who this particular amplifier could have been played by.

The serial number on this is 248, and the capacitors confirm this to be correct. It comes with all the original valves – a matched quad of GEC KT88s, along with an ECL86 and EL84. We’ve had this checked over and confirmed working well by our best technician. It’s a truly special piece! We are including a brand new, custom built flight case for safe and secure travel worldwide!

Just to note, we currently have in stock the matching guitar amplifier to this – the UL7120. What a beautiful pair they’d make!

At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want. You’re more than welcome to come and have a play on this, coupled with one of our vintage guitars!

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.

It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.

The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
