Custom 225 a tube-driven workhorse



Cincinnati, OH (October 15, 2007) - Reeves Amplification has entered the bass amplifier market with its new Custom 225, an amp designed from the ground up with bass players in mind.

The Custom 225 is rated at 225 watts into 8 ohms. It has active/passive input selection and a balanced XLR line out. The all-tube amp is designed for players who want more headroom, that classic handcrafted tube sound and unsurpassed quality/reliability. Bill Jansen, President/Owner of Reeves Amplification, tells Premier Guitar his company is excited about the Custom 225. "We responded to what people have been asking for," Jansen says. "This is an amp that fits the quality standards of Reeves guitar amps but is tailor made for the low-end."

Every bass I play through my new Reeves 225 sounds better than I can ever recall. Warm, Rich and responsive. Plugged in my '66 Hofner. Angels wept, seas parted, mountain tops crumbled. My '64 Jazz Bass is defined by this amp. My '79 USA Custom Shop Schecter PJ Roto Sounds sing praises to Entwistle. Playing guitars through it. Never had a Les Paul kick me in the chest before! :-)
