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 as1970's British 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.

The
ToneQuest Report reviews the Reeves Custom Jimmy and Super '78
amplifiers in their October 2010 issue. "We’ve reviewed a ton of amps
in these pages, but like the original Hiwatt amps that inspired them,
the two Reeves amps evaluated here are exceptional indeed, uniquely
