Walker Stereo Steel Gold vs Black face

[Gary Dunn]

What is the difference between the two preamps?

Paint.

The blackface has a toggle that allows you to set the effects loop to series or parallel. Set as series the FX knob can be used as the volume. I believe Gerry also upgraded internal parts from some older obsolete to more modern quality. I don’t recall if any changes were made to the rear panel but pretty sure you could find that with a simple search.

[Jerry Overstreet]

I defer to the more knowledgeable Mr. Higginbotham.

Thank you, David.

Mr Gerry Walker kept very good records on each of his Units….corresponding to the Unit’s serial number

If you can obtain the serial number of the unit(s) you might be looking at, reach out to Gerry and he’ll give you all that he has in his records

Including if Gerry has done any follow up service on the specific unit


Gerry is a wonderful resource in our community
