For sale Little Walter 80 Watt Amp.
Heavy Duty Gruene Road Cases.
Little Walter amp head, 2-12 cabinet with Telonics speakers. Solid Walnut Cabinets.
Outstanding for Pedal Steel amp, Acoustic or Electric guitar amp. Fiddle amp.
Transformer says 100 Watts pushes 80 or 90. Tubes are KT-120s can swap for 6L6s.

Here is a very special version of Phil Bradbury's higher gain design in a gorgeous, custom-built Black Walnut head shell, affectionately named "The Yeti" and autographed by Phil. It's in great condition.

“If you want to hear what your guitar sounds like, play it through a Little Walter.” -Vince Gill

Also can swap for solid state rectifier without re-bias.
$2600.00 in San Antonio Plus shipping.

The 80 was originally designed as a Pedal Steel platform but has shown to be much more.
Vince Gill used it on several songs from the Bakersfield Album, Jimmy Capps uses it on the Larry's Country Diner TV show with his acoustic guitar, Reggie Young used it on the last Reunion Concert of the "Memphis Boys" at Graceland, and Joe Spivey and Larry Franklin of the Time Jumpers both use it for their Fiddles.
This amp is the one I suggest for customers playing acoustic instruments, or Pedal Steel

Features:
6SC7 Preamp,
6SL7 Phase Inverter,
KT120 or KT88 Power Tubes,
GZ34 Rectifier

The Little Walter I acquired in a trade and I have a lot of steel amps and am wanting a Vox AC30 handwired combo.
Although this amp is very light. It is heavy in the cases.
The van I use requires me to lift the cases in and I am old. LOL.
The other factor is the oiled walnut finish is in very good condition and I fear that I would ding it up dragging it around to honky tonks.
Be that as it may I will likely start using it more and try to be careful with it.
This amp is everything you have heard or could want in a Little Walter amp.

Paul Franklin Jr's primary amp he uses. (one just like that) along with his effects unit. It does have one hell of a tone.
