Any modern-day amp to rival the old Valcos for lap steel?

[Iain Carmichael]

Following on from Ron's question about the Swart amps: ARE there any new amps that are as compatible with a vintage lap steel as the old Valco-mades are said to be?

[Ross Shafer]

check out http://www.vintage47amps.com/files/, David is building Valco replicas that are really nice. Hi spricing as been incredibly low as he getting this project off the ground. He's had a great response and will definitely be raising prices so buy early and often.

...thanx for the thread, Iain, and the link, Ross!

The link above didn't come up for me, let's try it again - www.vintage47amps.com/files

Mega kudos to David Barnes, we need more like him!

Thanks for the link, Ross. Hi,Ron.

Interesting project. No surprise that they sell so quickly. I'd like to hear more sound clips- particularly of a few different lap steels. No doubt that'll come with time, especially in view of the shipping refund offer. But great stuff!
