Thumbs up BARCHETTA VALVE AMP - Made in USA FOREVER

Hello to everyone on the forums. I'd like to introduce my company, Barchetta Valve Amp. As for producing competitive tube amplifiers in the United States, its quite difficult. I am doing so while designing and building as one person. The advertising can also keep the US companies down, but I hope these forums can help us bring to the front, the great US made products that are out there. Feel free to check out my site and ask any questions about my amps here on this thread, i like to discuss channel switching and choosing your next amp. I will place my amp info in the builders/dealers area on the forums. Remember, when you purchase products made in your country, you support your country. Thanks guys.

"Here's to heavy harmonic distortion"

Thumbs up Barchetta Valve Amp HVA-50



Here's the HVA-50 prototype. It has all tube circuitry, footswitchable clean/drive. Volume, saturation, Two seperate EQ's , presence, master, 4, 8 and 16 ohm outs, Mercury Magnetics transformers and choke. Capable of deep clean sounds and heavy harmonic distortion. There is a nice classic tone when the volume is set at 5 and the master is set at 7. Very clear chunk.

I sell direct. I will also be in stores soon.

Amp is sold with a 2x12 celestion loaded cabinet. Any color of tolex.

Made in the U.S.A. Forever !!!! www.barchetta-valve-amp.com

Welcome! I've been looking for a small but powerful channel switching head for a while. I like the Jackson Ampworks Britain 3 but your HVA-50 appears to be similar. How much are you selling them for, and is there anywhere outside of your shop where I can demo one? I'm in Dallas. You should try hooking up with George at Guitar Sanctuary in McKinney, TX to see if he would be willing to put one of your amps in his store. He currently carries Mesa and PRS, so you might fit in well with those two pricepoints.
