Reeves Custom 12. Good for pedals?
Here's what I need.

Low volume application (church band). Good clean tone. Plenty of headroom to take OD and distortion pedals. Would prefer a Hiwatt tone but 50 watts and up is overkill.

Right now I'm using a Blackheart (which for the price is awesome) but it doesn't like the OD and distortion pedals. Seems to clip with them. So I need more headroom.


Is the Reeves Custom 12 what I'm after?

The Reeves Custom 12 Combo takes pedals very well and the volume level is very manageable. Fuzzes, overdrives, modulation, my C12 handles them all no problem. Plenty of headroom and responds to dynamics well too.

My Custom 12 combo is good with pedals. And it has plenty of headroom, too. I've played it at church and the cleans have a great jangley chime with a strat.

That's what I was hoping to hear.
