Selling my 65 Amps Empire head. The head will include a soft/padded cover and the IEC power cord. It's a great sounding head. The amp is in perfect working order and is blemish free. I recently had a tech run through it and give it a clean bill of health as well.
If you're not familiar with these amps - The 65amps Empire is a 22-watt, hand-wired tube amplifier head from the boutique California builder 65amps (founded by Dan Boul and Peter Stroud, whose credits include guitarist for Sheryl Crow). The Empire was developed to capture the sound of classic British EL34-based amps from the 1960s through the 1980s, using 6V6 power tubes specifically engineered to behave like vintage EL34s.
Three foot-switchable "voices", all in one amp:
- Early-1960s clean tone
- Fat, dirty 1968–1972-era tone
- Higher-gain, hot-rodded 1980s tone
Specs:
- Power output: 22 watts (Master Voltage control scales output down to as low as ~3 watts while preserving tone and response — great for home use or low-volume stages)
- Power tubes: 2x 6V6
- Preamp tube: 12AX7
- Controls: Bass, Mid, Treble, independent Volume per voice, proprietary "Bump" switch (bypasses the tone stack), and Master Voltage (helps get cranked up sound and feel at lower volumes)
- Effects loop: Yes
- Impedance: 8 ohms / 16 ohms
- Cabinet: Handwired, finger-jointed Baltic birch
