Reeves Custom Jimmy
The Custom 'Jimmy' is a faithful recreation of
Page's Hiwatt amp that he used circa 1969 - 1971. Constructed to the
exact same specifications as an original HIWATT® design with Partridge replica
transformers, dual channel pre-amp with 4 Inputs (2 Normal, 2 Bright). Normal
volume and bright volume, bass, middle, treble, presence and master volume
controls. Like all Reeves Amplifiers, the Custom Jimmy is entirely hand assembled
using only the finest quality components assembled on a Garolite turret board
utilizing "Mil-Spec" wiring techniques.
What makes this amp
different than other Hiwatt circuits of the same period is that is has more
gain on tap...more vintage Marshall in nature. And something even more
unique is its foot switch volume cut. The amount of volume cut is
adjusted by the balance control on the front panel...in other words, the amp
can be played with a more aggressive preamp tone (adjusted by the input
control) and then switched, via the foot switch, to a less aggressive-more
typical cleaner Hiwatt tone . It works kind of like a two channel amp,
but it is not.
