Re: reeves amps branching out into marshall territory
Nice
I am sure quality is great
While its a limited clip, and you haev to take clips with a grain of salt or a little sugar (they can be better or worse than you expect the real thing to be).
...but crazy idea here- why not just get a Marshall or a Bogner? They nail that tone better than those clips.
Of course, if you wanna support great build and a nice, smaller company - that's another story
Re: reeves amps branching out into marshall territory
I've never seen one in a store, and checked the site. They sell only direct, and offer a 10 day return. I like when companies do that, because then you aren't dealing with dealer markup.
Awesome amps....basically a brand new Hiwatt, made like the old ones, and built by the same guy....I think.
Yep....Dave Reeves....Most popular amps(Hiwatt)made for David Gilmour and Pete Townsend in the 70s....Others used them but these 2 were the early Hiwatt guys...Jimmy Page dabbled with em also.
Re: reeves amps branching out into marshall territory
Ya , a guy i know is in a band sponcered by Hiwatt UK.... He told me the Reeves are made by Hiwatt UK. They are the exact same amps from the UK factory with a Reeves sign on the front of them... Until just a year ago Hiwatt's made in the UK were different then the USA based company... Reeves was selling the UK versions with the Reeves name. That being said i'd love a Pete Townshend model CP103!!!!!
