@theMANdrew No kidding. Came here a long time ago after seeing Pete Stroud's EHX demos with a 65, and it sounded INCREDIBLE. Seems like GuitarWorld just can't mic an amp to save their life, though.
my approach has always involved finding an amp with GOOD CLEANS!!!! i mean clear cleans!!!! then using my favorite pedals for overdrive....this seems to be the most versatile approach for me...
The thing about this amp ... Handwired! Means quality in most cases and modifying would be easy (easier)! Sounds great! I love the 18 watts the most. You can hear that great tube OD at bedroom levels!
18 is way above bedroom volumes without an attenuator. My epi valve jr. (5 watts) when it gets distorted (without the help of pedals, just with its single volume knob control) is loud enough to get complaints. 18 tube watts are going to be *loud*, and I didn't even spot a master volume on that thing.
This tone is impressive, and though it is much different than a rectifier I agree that rectifiers are fizzy, and buzzy and do hide mistakes. My Diezel has more gain than any rectifier I have ever seen, and it sounds 100x more clear while doing so.

Paul prefers a "throbbing" tremolo (snare drum to cymbal)

I want this amp in spite of this video. If I was Paul, I'd remove this video just so people wouldn't be driving busses all over me for my commentary.

@theMANdrew ... :) I don't think it's amp. Vhole record lacks mids and highs ...

Hey Paul, what exactly do you do at Guitarworld? How come you don't know that Peter Stroud is co-founder of 65 AMPS???
Do some research!

Any one who uses this amp
are there any problems with it not being loud enough in bigger venues?

The amp sounds cool to me. I have tons of 20 watt tube amps and really like them. I want the output tubes to be pushed.

i find metal amps useless
i play metal and i use a fender fucking twin
i just use a shitload of pedals and it gets the job done
jtonessimo 4 years ago
Yeah I agree. Just get like a fender for the volume and like a POD for tone and your good.

Nice amp but yes VERY pricey I'll take a Splawn and some greenbacks anyday.
flyinbryan6363 4 years ago
what is a splawn? are they some boutique company? clone models?
adajensen 3 years ago
splawn is originated as a mod company Jason(i think) Splawn did mods to people such as van halen and more of the liking
its how van halen got his "brown sound"
splawn makes now their own amps but i still believe any modded by splawn jcm800 sounds better
but their splawn overdrive is nice
