Valco 510/11 Indigo Labs Texas, 6V6, 6SL6, 5Y3 (8 Watt) Ser. 1021

  
Come by & try it out with my 12'63 Oxford. Here is a 3 tube Valco 510/11 clone with cream white knobs, please request to change colors, such as maroon, black. I have a few colors to choose from, I bead blast these to give them a less glossy finish and re stripe the white line. This a 3 tube Amplifier with a very loud 8 watts of fuzz, buzz, and incredible blooming harmonics. It has Brown Sound too. This amp is for lead, two string, & full bar chord work. This particular chassis employs a NOS KenRad 6SL7 preamp and the power amplifier: a blacked out Philco 6V6. The 5Y3 is a red ink GE. All resistors are carbon composite except one wire wound in the power supply.

All electrolytic capacitors are new, and the tone capacitors are selected for sound. Each chassis is tested after assembly and the sine centering adjusted for the standard tone stack performance. Or search maicodoug (one word) and look for anything that says "510/11" on my youtube channel.

A ton of compression, as pulloffs' are just about as loud as a hard strum. Here is a little background about these amps... These chassis are hand wired by myself, going on 45 years as a "maker" in the electronics field.

All of my Octal Tube Amps are designed to give the earliest kind of Sun Recording Studio sound. Musical Amplifiers using the larger 8 pin (Octal) are all I have ever built. This hot bias'ed 3 Tube early 40's Copy has a Fat Octal sound.

Some NOS (New Old Stock) Tube line up. Featuring a 6 position Mode Switch. Master Volume as all of Indigo Labs Amps come with. Warm Distortion, to Dirty Blue and NO hum. Very, very quite at idle. Comes with all USA tubes. The Power Transformer has yet to get warm at full output, as does the Output Transformer. This single 8 watter has power that lets you get deep into the swamp, but still breakup well at lower volumes.

Designed to play with all controls near max'ed. The Mode Switch on this Amp has 6 positions with very sweet "chimey" 6V6 sound.

This particular chassis (Serial 1021) is voiced for less dynamic range (more compression) (using the MODE switch) between "CLEAN" (position 1) to vibrant & full sustain (5 & 4), then going to the more harmonic modes 3,2, that exhibit a squelching tendency, with the #6 position ending with a warm octal tube fuzz. It is important to remember with an amplifier like this, is that the player has to "play the amp". That is, to take what everyone knows, the style of that time. The "walk and talk" that single string picking and lead has the sound of way back in that time. Full bar cords will bloom and fuzz, buzz, so brown that you have to send ahead for a reservation.

(hit a string once or twice), otherwise a squelch will kill all the sound and go to a full quieting. Very nice for lead recording. Riding the squelch lends for very "evel" sounding leads (Mode Switch 3 & 4). Full quieting with a time delay (position 3 Apx 1 second, position 4, Apx 2-3 seconds) Also that Texas "La Grunge" that this Amp has become famous for.

The Treble control is active. Actually another volume control on this chassis.

There is no " tone cut" as common with everyother guitar amplifiers. Has absolutely NO hum or buzz at Max settings with an average input cord. Not bad for AC filaments. Compression is very high, so you can play clean with your guitar Volume knob at half way, then crank it up for your lead solo with slightly more loudness, just your now distorted. Hammering and pull offs are very full and bright, about 75% of a hard strum.
