The VAL-KING

[tubelectron]

Hi All,

This is the last one : The VAL-KING.

More compact than the ORIENT-EXPRESS, built from scratch like him, but a bit more powerful and with a "Valco 50's" styled look...

Here the VAL-KING played by Manu, a Rock'n'Roll/Bues pro with its vintage Supro guitar, at the Custom 77 Guitar Shop. Again, I forgot my digital recorder .

You seem to be using ! Abusing almost, this site for self promotion!

You seem to be using ! Abusing almost, this site for self promotion!

I have nothing to sell and I sell nothing.

These are all my personal releases, one-piece-one-of-a-kind models, built for the fun and the sound.

That's also what I state on the contact page of my small website :

Have a look to it, unless you are doing acute crisis of jealousy .

I for one love these amps, and if it was for self promotion of products, he would not have shown so much of the interiors, schematics, etc.

I look forward to seeing more!

Agreed: awesome builds, very unique layouts, appreciative of all the photos. Cheers!

[tubelectron]

Thanks Ron Worley and Xtian,

That's all for the moment...

I started another build, but unfortunately as usual it will take a long time to be finished

And I am also studying a project for building an Overdrive Special Reverb by Guilhem. For this, I think that I have found the right place in this forum !

Wait and See...
