This is a replica of a vintage National amp . The sound demo shows different tone settings, recorded with a Stratocaster and a Telecaster. A video, how this amp was made, will follow soon.
I am honored!!! I’ve been watching your videos for years, and your knowledge and patience was always an example for me. Believe it or not, the reason why I started to publish some of my jobs, was your excellent work. I estimate your respect and appreciation for these pieces of musical history. I’m living in Germany, you are located in the US, but we both have the same mission, right? It’s a small world! So, again: thanks a lot for your kind words. Take care
Wow.....a small world indeed, Martin. I am in West Texas, USA. It's great to hear that the videos have been helpful and inspirational. Indeed, I would be hard-pressed to come close to the quality of our work. Congratulations on a fine achievement.
@@UncleDoug Thanks again for your nice response. That means a lot to me. Keep on going with your precious work. I’m looking forward to more of your stuff in „youtubeland“! Greetings from Germany
Well, Valco had a weird way to name their amps. Maybe because they manufactured amps for so many other companies. This circuit was found in a Gretsch 6151, in a Supro 6606 or 6616. Sometimes with or without a tremolo circuit. I changed the coupling cap values to 0.05 uf. These values where used in older Valcos . The overall tone of the amp gets warmer with increased bassfrequencies.
