65 Amps (2009) London 2x12" Combo
65 – London
18 WATT (2xEL84), Tube rectified, 12AX7, EF86, Tremolo
Evolved from some of the Mid-Sixties best low powered amplifiers. The 2xEL84, Cathode Biased, Class A sound is that of astonishing warmth, depth, harmonic richness all in a small package that allows big-amp sound on small stages, in the studio or at home. The London takes the classic 2xEL84 vocabulary and pushes it way beyond all predecessors. With the distinct tones of 2 very different 60’s 18watt amps in one package, The London offers 2-amps-in-one and allows a greatly increased vocabulary.
This is the “go to” amp for countless studio musicians, producers, and sidemen who need a big, rich British sound in a small package. The London survived the “18watt wars” of a few years ago and has become the standard for 2xEL84 genre and is widely used on dozens of major tours, major label recordings, and is a frequent guest on national TV shows.
Trem channel – 12AX7 based with a single tone knob and an organic Bias tremolo activated by a footswitch. This channel is the one for many of your classic British tones from your favorite Blues and Rock records.
Colour Channel – EF86 (pentode) based with a tone knob and 6-way color switch that adjusts the mid focus. This channel is reminiscent of the British Invasion sound until you push it hard via the Booster Switch and then if flips into ultra-rich, harmonic saturation that defines modern day boutique amplifiers.
