FWIW, I love Manley but the Voxbox is just ok, spend the same cash and get a Requisite Audio Pal Plus MK 2 or 3, DW Fearn VT1 - VT2, or Aurora Audio GTQC and your Christmas will last all next year.
If Manley is just your thing then grab a used SLAM or the TnT, they are much better than the Voxbox.

FWIW-
The Voxbox is good (7 out of 10) for a tube preamp, but at some point you'll want to upgrade from it. The other units there is no upgrade from them, all are top end pro (9's or 10's).
Requisite are the biggest cleanest most natural sound ever.
Fearn's sound just huge with smooth vintage toobie goodness.
Aurora is tight 1073 Neevish with a better top end clarity. Geoff originally designed the 1073 & 1084 Neve gear so he should know the sound, lol.
Used a Voxbox over 30 times with good results, never great.
I owned a Vari-Mu for years and know the sound, Voxbox is not going to get that 3D hifiness, look at the SLAM for that in a Manley preamp combo.
