Condition Notes:
– Condition: 9.5/10
– Any wear of note: This amp is in truly incredible shape overall! It’s very clean and in near mint condition. You can notice some extremely light signs of use upon very, very close inspection, but nothing of note at all. Really in incredible condition!
– General notes: This is a really killer sounding little 10 watt monster! Perfect for home or studio use. Between the Power Scaling feature and the Drive and Gain controls, there’s tons of tones on tap with just the flick of a few knobs. And the amp was just retubed and cleaned as well! So it’s in full working order and sounding truly amazing!
– Accessories included: Power cable only.

CUSTOM 10HG

OVERVIEW
The Custom 10 HG answers the question of Who makes a low powered Single Ended Class A amplifier mixed with an angry preamp? This amplifier is strictly designed for the player looking for a something with attitude but without all the knobs, buttons, loops and multiple channels to muck up their tone. The Custom 10 HG is a single channel 10 watt simplistic approach with a Master Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble and Gain controls. One EL-34 power tube and two 12AX7 preamp tubes will sound amazingly huge but with out all the size and volume. Basically, a low powered “Hot Rod Marshall”.
As with all Reeves Custom amplifiers, the Custom 10 HG is meticulously hand-wired with its components carefully mounted on a turret board. Additionally, the Custom 10 HG relies on its U.S. made Heyboer transformers, sitting on top of an aluminum chassis, to ensure the utmost in tone, reliability and serviceability.

POWER SCALING
Power Scaling is a proprietary technology London Power developed to allow the maximum power of an amplifier to be dialed down to whatever level you need. Most Tube amplifiers have a “sweet spot”, this occurs when the amplifier’s power tubes are pushed into what is known as “clipping”, “break-up”, or “saturation”. The tone and harmonics being produced by the amplifier in this state is why the majority of guitar players prefer vacuum tubes. Unfortunately, in order to get an amplifier into the “sweet spot” the associated louder volume can be very undesirable. Power scaling allows the user to keep the “sweet spot” at any volume!
Unlike power attenuators that are placed between the amplifier and the speakers – causing the amplifier to “cook itself” and seriously shorten tube life. Power Scaling allows the power output stage to be variable from full volume all the way down to bedroom levels while still achieving power tube “break up”. Other advantages of Power Scaling are longer tube life at any setting less than maximum. When the Power Scale control in the minimum position the amplifier is now in standby thus eliminating the need for a standby switch.
