Welcome to Vintage47 Guitar and Harp Amps

Something different for the discerning guitar and/or harp player. Dedicated to the preservation of the Valco circa 1947 octal tube tone amplifier designs, old Chicago blues and authentic mojo style!

You'll love the unique Vintage47amps 'Classic 47 Series' Valco Supro Style Reproduction cabinet choices and I guarantee you won't find a more period correct Valco style amplifier replication anywhere!

Here at Vintage47, I build complete Valco Supreme style (12 Watt Octal Push Pull), Spectator style (5 Watt Octal Single Ended) and now building the 1942 Oahu 12 watt limited edition "Chicago Blues Tone Twelve" and "Chicago Blues Tone Triple". All my plug and play amplifier combos are available in several different Valco classic cabinet styles.

I invite you to check out my website site and hope you find my unique Classic 47 Series Valco reproductions inspirational! Please email for price quotes and order information. * ALL HAND MADE IN THE USA !

Leo Fender & Les Paul knew the difference - do you? Test your vintage amp IQ.

The following can all be found in the mix above: Valco, Supro, National, Rickenbacher, Gretsch, Fender, Bronson, Gibson.

All but three are pre- 1950, but which ones came after 1950?

(above) Oahu Suitcase and (below) "Chicago Blues Tone Triple".

Both of these are killer old school 1940's Blues harp and guitar combos! Sound samples are of Oahu Suitecase. The 'Chicago Blues Tone Triple' is the same dark thick smokey tone as Suitcase but much louder and can be varied to your personal taste with Vintage47 'Roll You Own Tone' features.
