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? |

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. |

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! |
