REEVES Custom 50 Jimmy Page amp

[reeves amps]

We've had several requests to do a 'Jimmy Page' Hiwatt amp that he used between '69-'71 or so. I don't know what took us so long but it was a natural for us to do. The footswitch allows you to go between normal "Hiwatt" mode to "Hot rod Hiwatt"...kinda reminded me of early AC/DC in tone. This amp will be available in either 50w or 100w

I for one am interested!

That is so very sweet! And it would be quite the step up from my Custom 6 LOL.
I see it's not on your website yet. Do you have any pricing and availabily info you'd care to share with us?

very COOL!

Very cool amp. Are you going to be at the NY Amp Show in May with that head?

At this point we are not planning on attending.

Oh man, that head gives me bad GAS...beautiful. I need to make capacity for a fine Reeves machine, watch out emporium.

 

[Terry McInturff]

Have you done a "Who" head?

 

[todd richman]

How about planning on attending-Loni has a great lineup this year and your amps and especially the Jimmy head would be most welcome.

So it's basically a Custom 50 (or Custom 100) footswitchable into the "Royal Albert Hall" mode? What schematic did you use for the Jimmy Page side? Thanks.

In the "normal" mode it is very much like a Custom 50...maybe not exact but close enough.

We used the schematic we were given and the one on mhuss's site.

Yes, it is the CP-103 and CP-504

Let me add, that I am a huge fan of Bill and the amps that they make at Reeves.

i couldn't be happier with my Reeves amps!

 

[mr.blacksummer]

oh shucks...
that is HOT.
I need some dollars right away!
nice job bill...
my custom 30 is still trusty as hell...nightly compliments on tone.
awesome.

That tone my boy Jimmy Page had around 1971 was amazing.
Is there a big difference in tone and overall sound between the 50 watt and 100 watt?
I'll see what I can do to get one.

 

[wichita]

Looks really interesting.
Is this higher gain than a stock hiwatt of the same era?

I just got a Jen tonebender that would be great with this!

 

[garyrogue]

That is what I was wondering, how do these sit gain wise between normal Hiwatts and Marshalls? Tone difference and/or feel etc.. ?

 

[enharmonic]

I want one!

The amp acts like a two channel amp but it is not...so, what I call 'normal mode' the amp is very much like a regular Hiwatt...maybe a little edgier, but still all the same basic characteristics. In the 'hot mode' it has more preamp gain. So, to sum it up, if Hiwatt and Marshall had a child-the Jimmy is what it would sound like...IMHO.
