Valco National Dobro Concert Amplifier 400 - INST preset

Verified · 80/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The National-Dobro Concert Amplifier 400 is an early Valco product from the National-Dobro era, produced for the lap steel and resonator guitar market. These early Valco designs are historically significant as predecessors to the Supro and National brands that defined the company's later output. The MIC channel suggests dual-purpose use for vocals and instruments, typical of the practical multi-use approach of 1940s amplifier design.
