Lil' Elvis

Lil' Elvis is a breakthrough amplifier rooted in some lost designs from the 60's best designer. It is based on a 2xEL84 power section, 12AX7 front end, and a clean output of 12 watts. The authority and vocabulary of this little amp is truly surprising and inspiring. One will never feel he's playing a small amplifier at all. The Lil' Elvis also has 65's "Master Voltage" (patent applied for). It is a leap forward in power technology. Not a scaling schema, attenuator, or master volume, the Master Voltage keeps the entire vocabulary, authority, and responses down to 2 or 3 watts by reducing the B+ voltage. This amp also features a passive FX loop, 2 speaker outs, and a unique tremolo and tone for days.

London

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.

Think of a Marshall 18 watt type amp for the Trem channel and a Vox AC 15/30 type amp for the Colour channel and that is exactly what the London will give you. Although this amp doesn't have a master volume, you can run any good quality AB switch or AB/Y switch to change channels or stack them together if you like. That is WAY COOL.

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.

SoHo (head only)

Controls: Volume, Treble, Bass, Booster, BumpTM, Bump ToneTM, Bump LevelTM, Master Volume

Designed to be a super-functional amp for working players and enthusiasts who desire widely varied tones in one amp. The SoHo can transition seamlessly from the best of American tones to the sweetest British tones via the BumpTM function and NOT switching channels. The BumpTM will radically shift the tone-stack functionality achieving astonishing renditions of dozens of excellent, natural sounds. In addition to the BumpTM function, there is a defeatable Master Volume that is revolutionary in that is slopes the tone stack as you turn the Master down, giving the Master a very natural sound and ultra-low volumes. The Master can be turned on for "Home" mode and completely defeated for "Gig" mode. This amp also has the Master Voltage system installed.

This amp is a must for studio players, small club gigs and enthusiasts who need to play at reduced volumes. . Widely adopted by studio players, sidemen, and producers as a "go-to" amp for recording and gigging. Upon release, the SoHo went on a dozen major tours and is widely used on major-label recordings on a regular basis.

Monterey (head only)

22 WATT (2x6V6), EF86-12AX7 Cathode Follower with BumpTM circuit and Defeatable Master Voltage

Controls: Volume, Treble, Bass, Booster, BumpTM, Bump ToneTM, Bump LevelTM, Master Voltage

The Monterey (formerly the Memphis) was created with the desire to maximize the potential of the classic American 2x6V6 format. It can provide you the same tones of your favorite "Fender style Tweed, Blackface, Silverface, and Hot Rod Deluxe/Deville (TM)" all in one amp.

The 65-Monterey is designed with the purpose of delivering classic American amp tones with a greatly enhanced vocabulary that extends across the Atlantic to Britain. The Monterey can go from classic warm & hot American tones to a wide pallet of modern, rich boutique distortions at the flip of a switch.

All of this done without the normal sacrifices that one associates with classic American amps. The bass response stays tight and composed throughout the tonal spectrum of the amp. Distortion is robust, complex and unhampered by the normal shortcomings of traditional circuits. This
means: no flabby low-end, no shrill top-end; a pleasant, detailed rendition of your favorite 6V6 vocabulary with many new voices, American and British, added.

The Monterey, along with our SoHo amps, employs our trademarked BumpTM control. The BumpTM control is a much more effective alternative to traditional channel switching. The BumpTM allows the user gain-up and re-slope the amp's tone stack allowing a much more midrange to flow through the circuit; thereby gaining up the entire amp naturally and not inducing false preamp gain that creates fizz and buzz. The end result is the effect of having 2 amps in one.

In addition to the BumpTM function, We're also putting our "Master Voltage" knob on it that will reduce the B+ voltage and output in the amp in an unique way. It's unique in that it keeps the internal tube relationships perfect while keeping the filament voltage up. After seeing all other power schemes' shortcomings, we've come at this from a different angle and we're very pleased with the results. You can dial this amp down to 3 watts output WITHOUT losing tone, feel, vocabulary, authority, etc.

Stone Pony (head only)

The Stone Pony has the 65 "Bump" front end but runs on 7591's like the old Ampegs from the 60's. They have a very unique and cool sound. The transformers are optimized for the 7591's with the guys at Mercury Magnetics and come up the old 7591 format only with a much enhanced vocabulary. It has a very pleasant and pronounced mid-range notch that is instantly recognizable. This amp is also offered with the Master Voltage system.

Colour Boost Pedal

If you’d really like to add some color to your tone with your 65 Amp, then look no further. Their own Colour Boost pedal is just what you need.
It is a Germanium based treble boost, but it has 4 different voicings and a separate gain knob. Think “slight fuzz” without being over the top coupled with voicings from dark to bright while running straight into your low powered 65 Amp via standard guitar cables through the guitar input, and you’ll definitely find what you may be missing. As soon as I ran one into my own 65 Amps Lil’ Elvis, I immediately put one in our recording studio for use with our London and Monterey. Both of our engineers are really digging this pedal.
