Reeves Super '78 The Super '78 captures the feel and tone of Eddie's early albums and rock music of this golden period. The Reeves Super '78 features 50-watts using two Ruby EL34BHT's. We also use premium, ultra fast recovery 11amp-1000volt diodes for better mids, tighter lows and a sweeter top end, as well as DC on the preamp tube filaments to minimize hum and noise. The controls provde tons of tone shaping capability, and include knobs for gain, drive, bass, mids, treble, cut and a post phase inverter master volume. There's also a resonance control which lets you dial in the exact bass response you want, from a tight and punchy tone to looser, more vintage tone.

"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 versatile as described and built to an unsurpassed standard of impeccable care and quality."

MP3 Audio Clips These clips were recorded with a Charvel EVH guitar going straight into the 50-watt Super '78. The amp was connect to our R1x12W cabinet loaded with the Vintage G12. A SM78 mic was placed approximately 2" from grill, slightly off center. The mic was connected to Summit Audio mic preamp before it went to the recording board.
