The McHappy Meal of Vox amps!
This is possibly your last opportunity to purchase a new Ulbrick amplifier. At the time of writing, we understand that Ulbrick amps and pedals will no longer be manufactured, so it's likely that many of these amps will become collector's items for guitarists with an ear for tone and an appreciation for all things lovingly hand-made.
