65 Amps NAMM 2009 Getting ready

Getting ready at 65 Amps for 2009 NAMM. A number of the amps will have the Master Voltage feature. This feature keeps all the voltages in proper relationship to lower wattage and works much better to my ears than conventional power scaling or attenuators. In Lil' Elvis (12 or so watts) you can bring things down to about 2 watts and still have a full feel and tone. The master voltage feature can be refit into most earlier 65 amps models.

Please excuse the rambling dialogue as it was early Monday morning after a long weekend :)

To be released at Winter NAMM in January. It comes in at a robust 12 watts running 2 EL-84's, 3 ECC-83's and a 6CA4 rectifier. The controls are volume, tone, speed and intensity (for the trem) an FX loop and our new Master Voltage knob that brings it down to about 2 watts. It will come in a small head and small 112 combo.

This little writeup above came from Sam Austin over at 65 Amps and was a reply on a forum.

If you want more info on any of the amps just go to the 65amps website and get their contact info and write or call them directly as they would have details on Lil' Elvis.

What are these Little Elvis amps?

[myles111us]

The Lil' Elvis is a 12 watt amp with the master voltage feature, a true trem that is bias modulated and can be run down to about 2 watts and retain full tone and authority. If you saw Sugerland on the Jay Leno show a month or so ago that was one of the prototypes. Many folks have been using the amp in the studio and on gigs where they want full tone at lower stage levels. A pretty amazing piece of work, I don't know how they are going to build as many as are already on order.
