SOLD £1800 £1500 £1450  £1100 reduced - comes with footswitch 

The brilliant Reeves Custom 50 with Valve buffered Effects Loop, is renowned for being one of the absolute best Hiwatt clones out there.

Hand built in the USA and sounds incredible. One of the best pedal platforms out there as it delivers crystal clean tones at very loud volumes if you want it and can be incredibly quiet if necessary too. Lovely British crunch when driven too.

I bought this brand new from an official Reeves dealer in Germany and had it imported at the end of February this year. I've never used it with a real cabinet and have only played it for less than 30 hours (approx) with the amazing Suhr reactive Load box. It has never been gigged and only played at home (non-smoking home)

I'm selling it because I can't justify having this amp and never needing to gig with it as I play at home only. Seems a shame to waste this beast by playing it through a load box when other amps can do that for me. I've recently bought the little Laney Lionheart head and it's good enough for my needs. It was the harsh reality of my situation, so now I've chased the dream of owning a Reeves, I can at least put that GAS to bed with the knowledge that I owned an incredible amp!

Rest assured that these are hard to come by in the UK, they cost an absolute fortune to import from the States and this amp listing is cheaper than what you'll get from the German dealer. I've knocked a fair bit of money off for an amp that is in mint/as new condition.

I live near Cardiff and will be willing to travel along the M4 corridor or beyond (within reason) if you meet me half way.

Not interested in any trades, I've got a pretty specific wishlist.

Any questions, please ask, I know this is a big purchase - I made it not so long ago!

Thanks man, good advice. Though, I'll feel a bit bad joining just to post an ad! Better join in a few convos first! Ha.

Bump because I've been lusting after a Reeves or Hitone for ages now. I might be interested after payday, we will see.

Jonathanthomas83

@mpsa01 I can't speak too much about the Hitone, I've heard they're amazing though and the guys who work for them are an absolute pleasure to deal with when I've spoken to them. My experience of the Reeves is that it's fantastic, such a good amp. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with either. 

I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, to the best of my ability. Thanks for your interest.

Reduced to sell. Bump

Jonathanthomas83

Reduced to sell. Fucking heartbreaking.

StuartMac290

Jeez, that's an absolute bargain! Wish I had the scratch for this. If my Imperial sells...

StuartMac290

Out of interest, how good's the master?

Jonathanthomas83

In what way @StuartMac290 ? Happy to help in any way, mate.

StuartMac290

Can it take the amp down to a really low level but still sound quite full? For clean sounds, really. 

Jonathanthomas83

@StuartMac290  Ah right, yes it can. Sounds great at low volumes and obviously stays pristine clean. Makes for an amazing pedal platform and despite its size, can be used at home at reasonable volumes that shouldn't annoy neighbours :-)
