This Valco-made amp is an absolute treasure. It's very hard to find these ones, the Cadillac of Valco amps at the time. Four 6L6's for about 80 watts out of a mono output jack, instead of the original 35w per side dual-mono outputs. This one was professionally switched over to being a Mono output amp, which made it feel more powerful and much more useful.
A killer amp with tons of low end on tap, easily could use this for nice vintage warm bass tones, or for a great guitar amp that breaks up nicely turned up about halfway.
Reverb and Tremolo both work flawlessly, the 6V6-driven Reverb on these is intense, lush, and cavernous. Not at all like their Silvertone branded counterparts that had famously trashcan-like reverb. Easily controlled via the Footswitch jack which works with generic 2-button 1/4" TRS style Footswitch.
Panel Lights glow red and are switchable via the panel mounted "Panel Lights" switch. Line Reverse Switch is now a Stand-By switch.
