65amps anyone ?


Recommended Posts

Came across this blog site yesterday .... http://rockguitardaily.blogspot.com ( a very good site btw) and this blog in particular http://rockguitardaily.blogspot.ie/2013_06_01_archive.html

 

I'd only ever heard of 65amps through the Pro Guitar Shop youtube demos where Andy always played a "G&L Legacy through a 65amp Soho". From reading the blog above they seem to be the "Ferrari" of the guitar amp world.

 

Haven't seen one in the flesh over here, and I can only imagine how much one might cost, but do any HOC members own one ? Are they really that good ?

A music shop near to me, Peach Guitars, stocks them. I'm planning a look (and hopefully a listen) in the next couple of weeks.

 

Incidentally, I got the Heritage Eagle I've just posted about from Derek Peachie, former owner of Peach Guitars :)

A peach of a deal no doubt ;)

 

Must check to see if there's an Irish distributor :)

A friend came back form NAAM raving about these. I was in the market at the time and found a local dealer who had some. We went and played what they had which was limited, no combos just heads and cabs. They sounded great but where pricey. I couldn't justify a purchase. I wanted a combo anyway.

I have a 65amps "Rocket 88" head that I bought used. It's not one of their regular production models as it's equipped with a pair of KT-88 power tubes. I used it with several cabinets and then wanted to get a matching 65amps 2x12 cab so I spoke with Dan Boul at the factory and he recommended a Celestion vintage 30 and Celestion alnico gold pairing with this head so that's what I got. It's an awesome sounding amp and versatile from clean to high gain with a master volume on/off switch and front ef-86 "bump" level/tone controls along with high/low inputs. Way more amp than a weekend warrior like myself can do justice to. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.

He has a weekly show on youtube, and calls it his lunch show. I have yet to check one out, mainly because I need to refill the coffers before watching more 6 string porn.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

I know what you mean by youtube and demos, had to unsubscribe from several channels as they were causing GAS pains.

Which ones have you played / used ?

 

The "London" and the "Empire" were the ones that caught my ear....
