Not expecting many other people here, but this is my 65 Amps Soho High Powered head.
Amazing sounding amp- great for anything rock and country.

65 Amps club.octatonic August 18th, 2009, 11:08 AM Not expecting many other people here, but this is my 65 Amps Soho High Powered head. Amazing sounding amp- great for anything rock and country. Larry K. Williams August 20th, 2009, 11:18 AM Here is my London head and matching 212 cab.....not a good pic, I need to take a better one. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e153/larrykwilliams/Picture137.jpg It really sounds wonderful.....I run it in tandem with my Sr. Z MAZ Jr. NR. octatonic August 21st, 2009, 07:06 AM Nice one, Larry. I am thinking about a London head myself. Steve G August 21st, 2009, 08:21 AM I dont have one of these, but would like one! Charlie Sexton uses one, love his playing. Larry K. Williams August 21st, 2009, 11:24 AM I have only had it a week now. But it is quickly turning into my favorite. The sounds are great....and it is not possible to make it sound bad. I was worried about buying an amp that only had a knob that said "Tone". But that is just exactly what the knob does.......just changes for one good tone to another good tone....it is actually becoming much easier to use than the 2 or 3 band EQ on my other amps. octatonic August 23rd, 2009, 07:48 AM Yeah the Soho doesn't have a bad sound either. My config is with a 2x12 Marshall closed back cab which I think is less than ideal. I need to get myself a 65 cab asap. Larry K. Williams August 23rd, 2009, 12:00 PM The combination of the Celestion Blue and the G12H30 sounds really good. I have always preferred alnico speakers but the ceramic and alnico together make a really full tone. I spent yesterday experimenting with combining both channels of the London. Again, bigger and fuller....too much at times. I guess the 65amps is a "best kept secrect"......at least for now. I am glad I found out! octatonic August 24th, 2009, 08:00 AM Have you tried the lil Elvis? I've decided to get rid of a couple of other amps and get one of these. It is an amazing sounding low wattage combo/head. Larry K. Williams August 24th, 2009, 01:09 PM I have not had the opportunity to try out hte Lil Elvis...though the name of it alone suggest it has to be good:lol::lol: I did sell my Vox AC30 and got the London....I was a little scared at first....wondering if I did the right thing. Of course, it WAS the right thing. There's no looking back. After cranking the amp the Vox is a distant memory. I really want to try out a Monterey...GAS thinking.. octatonic August 24th, 2009, 02:50 PM Here is Lil Elvis kQHpZfHajzo nvguBnjVee4 hunterwh August 25th, 2009, 09:35 PM Just ordered a Lil'Elvis today. I am so stoked. I may end up trying to sell my Marshall 1974x and 1974cx cab and Ultimate Attenuator if this is a good as I think it is. SO EXCITED!!!!! asatbender August 26th, 2009, 02:51 PM Can the Lil Elvis be used for home use with the master voltage knob? I was just curious as to how low the volume wil go and is it similat to an attenuator. octatonic August 28th, 2009, 12:06 PM Lil Elvis is designed for home and studio use. Yes the master voltage is definitely tone friendly at bedroom levels. It is an astonishing step forward. The only caveat is no reverb built into the amp. hunterwh September 5th, 2009, 01:08 AM Just got my Lil' Elvis today and it AMAZING!!! With my Tele or Les Paul it is jaw dropping good!!! Highly recommended!! My Sole-Mate reverb goes very well with it and was very inspiring tonight. Larry K. Williams September 7th, 2009, 01:53 AM Great to hear that you like it. I usually have been using my London in tandem with my Dr. Z MAZ Jr. I played a gig last night with just the London. I used a Voodoo Labs amp selector to switch between the two channels. If I had needed to be much louder I would have been in trouble, but what a sound it was!!! Also, I took the back off my 212 cab yesterday to clean out the dust. At the bottom of inside of the cab I found the signature of Peter Stroud and the marking 212-004..... 4th one made!!! :grin: frank1959 September 8th, 2009, 12:43 AM New to board. Proud owner of a 65 amps Stone Pony! Jason G September 8th, 2009, 04:51 AM I'd get one in a heartbeat, most likely a SoHo or Lil' Elvis Head! My cab would have 2x12's... A celestion G12H30 plus Alnico Blue. Oh yea, I love that speaker match. I was replacing gear with insurance money after a break in, and I chose the Super 17 Richard Goodsell builds. My ears tell me the Goodsell is a bit more clean Voxish to angry Marshall when the power gets flowing to it. The 65 Amp SoHo seemed very much more within the realm of an AC30. But that's certainly not bad, just my observation.Yea, I still want one!:twisted: Cheers, Jason G Dr.TeleD October 1st, 2009, 03:33 PM Any one see Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris last night (on Leno) -- not sure which 65 VG was playing through. Anyone here know. Sounded great. Larry K. Williams October 2nd, 2009, 02:00 PM Any one see Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris last night (on Leno) -- not sure which 65 VG was playing through. Anyone here know. Sounded great. I did not see that...@$@$@#!!:sad: I sill have to download the episode and watch it today. Lars October 7th, 2009, 04:22 AM Vince Gill played two 65 Royal Albert amps.The amp is killer.I have had mine for almost two years now and I love it. | ||
