Reeves Custom 100 Watt Jimmy Head -

Reeves Custom 100 Watt Jimmy Head
Bananas is now the Exclusive California Reseller of Reeves Amplification. The original HIWATT® amps designed by Dave Reeves' Hylight Electronics company first appeared in England in 1966-67. HIWATT® amps are known for their bullet-proof reliability military spec point-to-point turret board construction supervised by Harry Joyce in the 70's and their robust signature tone huge loud and the cleanest of any classic British amp ever made. With this in mind Reeves Amplification has put out the Custom line of hand wired tube amplifiers built to these same lofty standards. Their amps are hand built with the highest quality components available and wired by hand. The cabinets are constructed of 13-ply Baltic Birch for tone and durability. No circuit boards no pressed boards no short cuts no compromises. All made in the USA. The Custom 'Jimmy' is a faithful recreation of Page's Hiwatt® amp that he used circa 1969 - 1971. Constructed to the exact same specifications as1970's British design with Partridge replica transformers dual channel pre-amp with 4 Inputs (2 Normal 2 Bright). Normal volume and bright volume bass middle treble presence and master volume controls. Like all Reeves Amplifiers the Custom Jimmy is entirely hand assembled using only the finest quality components assembled on a Garolite turret board utilizing Mil-Spec wiring techniques. What makes this amp different than other Hiwatt circuits of the same period is that is has more gain on tap...more vintage Marshall in nature. And something even more unique is its foot switch volume cut. The amount of volume cut is adjusted by the balance control on the front panel...in other words the amp can be played with a more aggressive preamp tone (adjusted by the input control) and then switched via the foot switch to a less aggressive-more typical cleaner Hiwatt tone . It works kind of like a two channel amp but it is not.
