I've been looking at Vintage 47s for a while. Now I'm going to have to buy one. This is awesome.

I have to say when I received my amps in the mail. I have never had a better day than that. I called Dave and told him how much I loved THE AMPS. I kept buying them. I just think it's a blessed fun project. Made by people that care about what they do. Coming up with tone that represents the time period That they're representing incredible. Thank you, guys, Cheers to all at Vintage 47 amps. Hello from Albuquerque, New Mexico..

I have 4 of Vintage 47 ams at Chicago triple tone, The Valco Supro Comet version with tremelo. And then I have a suitcase Oahu valco amp and then I have the big 1943. Oahu valco with the end of the amp lights up its magic, also have the tube reverb. All just amazing , just love them all🎉

Very cool! Craftpersonship at it’s best! Someday I will order one! Thx for sharing this.

[@motoramps]

I really like their concept, I have been following them since they started. Sadly, the amp I want, the Chicago triple is not made anymoe😢

[@bootlegapples]

I own a Bronson,nice amp.That said I wonder why nobody is doing the thinner tolex/covering more period correct to the period? I find the old thinner stuff holds out well and seems less prone to pulling away like modern tolex.As well would be cool to make a V47 with a 6j7 pentode in the first position like the Valco Supreme.6SQ7 is a sweet tube but the pentode is a beast,the top mounted grid cap looks kinda cool too.
