We anticipate having all certification testing for North America completed in early 2008. This is a delay from our earlier anticipated launch date, however some new products have been designed and added to the new product line during 2007.
Once all UL safety testing is completed, we will be accepting custom amp orders and shipping product. (THE VALVE amps already have CE certification in Europe, but we awaiting the UL/MET electronic safety certification for North America)
Note: We will be keeping an inventory of standard BLACK amps (each model) in-stock at all times here in the USA for immediate shipping.
Customized amps will be specially handbuilt to order in Italy and will take approximately 4-6 weeks for delivery. There is no additional charge for custom tolex color & grillcloth options.

"Some of you may recognize my name from the work I have done in the past with several amp and effects manufacturers as well as pedal mod wizards here on the web. Others may recall my name from the years I spent managing a certain well known guitar legend from Sweden. Many of you may have communicated with me over the past few years asking for assistance in helping you find that special tone you were looking for.
Quite by accident I stumbled upon THE VALVE series of tube amplifiers from Italy.
I was so impressed with not only the tone but also the unique features and wide range of sounds from clean to metal meltdown this new amp design offered. Certainly there are other 2 & 3 channel tube amps on the market, but only the high end boutique products seem able to truly offer excellence in all their channels. Most amps excel at one sound, but are only passable in other applications. With totally distinct channels offering independent volumes, tones. presence, boosts and other tone shaping features, THE VALVE models 250 and 3100 won me over.
THE VALVE AMPLIFIERS of Italy factory is able to offer boutique quality tone and exciting new features at a price point well below expensive boutique amps, and only slightly higher than those mass produced for the purposes of sales volume (and not good tone !)
I was so impressed I started talking with the company in Bologne Italy about importing and distributing these new amps here in the USA.
VALVE AMP USA was formed for just that purpose.
I invite you to visit the main factory website at www.the-valve.com while this online store is being built. At their site you can SEE and HEAR video and audio clips of the amps in action as well as download manuals and see the full specifications for each product."
