I like mine. I have always heard a certain tome in my mind, that I was never able to find on any other amp. The Quilter comes closest.

The tremolo circuit seems unnecessary, but I found a couple of uses for it. It's a nice effect when playing single lines on the bass strings.

The one thing I would change is the powered effects loop. It's set at 9 volts, but Tom Bradshaw's reso pedal and I believe the Goodrich Match-bro use 18. I'd like to see the output switchable between 9 and 18.

I mentioned this in the thread about Tom's pedal.

David, I use the Steelaire head into an old Peavy Nashville 400 cab fitted with Telonics. 15 speaker, or into a cab fitted with a 12inch Sica speaker. It sounds superb through either cab , or if playing really big venue can use both, excellent string separation. If buying from US, it requires a very minor mod , to do with stopping noise on U.K./Europe power supply, but if buying in U.K./Europe it is already done.Agree with Mike, do not know why tremolo fitted, but amp has great tone and volume.You can get the combo, combo pro(removable amp head), or as I have the rack size head, all are lightweight.

Over the past year I've had the Steelaire (Pro version), Walker Stereo Steel, Telonics TCA-500C and other various vintage amps in my studio. The Steelaire was a fine amp but I thought it could have more gain, more bass and mine was quite noisy, exhibiting a lot of white noise. I would say the the Walker and Telonics have a lot more to offer in terms of sound and features. I've since sold the Steelaire and kept the other two amps.
