We went to a friends gig came back to the house and I had to play. Pulled out my Valco reproduction, 12 watts of nasty. I love this amp. I was lit... Irish Whiskey was runny through the veins hard. Anyway, thought I'd share...

Yup, the neighbors don't talk to me much anymore...

It was about $640 shipped. These are the best Valco reproduction out there! I like this amp better than my both of my vintage Valcos.

@shbamac
Which original Valcos do you have? I've got 3. Two Valco/Supro Spectators and a Comet. :o) To my ears both models are just amazing with harp.

I've got a Spectator (Supro, red and white, mint) and a National. Not sure of the model on the National. I haven't seen another one just like it before. Has a three instrument inputs and one mic with it's own volume. I'm sure if I looked around I could find another like it or just asked the "Man" he would know what it is. Just never got around to it. Both of which are outstanding with harp. There's just something about this repo that chimes with me.
