Univox Stage 740P preset
Verified · 80/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Univox Stage 740P is a mid-to-high power Univox combo from the late 1960s to early 1970s, featuring a solid-state preamp with a tube power section — a hybrid approach common in transitional-era Japanese amp design. It targets the working rock musician needing reliable stage volume and a forward, cutting mid-range character reminiscent of British valve designs. The British-influenced voicing gives the tone stack a presence-forward quality that cuts through dense band mixes, making it functional for rhythm and lead guitar roles. The Stage series represents Univox's push toward the professional market during its most commercially active period.
