Reeves Custom 6 1x12 Combo: like new condition. I am the 2nd owner.

volume, treble, bass, middle headphone jack 4, 8, and 16 ohm outputs, and a line out jack.
currently has 8 ohm celestion g12h30 70th anniversary model 12" strong nos Valvo El84-sounds amazing.


I've owned this amp for about 2 years. I have done gigs with it, but I take care of my amps and guitars like they are babies. I have played this at church gigs with the volume at 9 o'clock for cleans, and I also have played it at a recent Beatles tribute Fest in Arcadia next to some cranked ac30s on a huge stage with the volume at 11 o'clcock, and it worked in that environment too. (it was mic'd up) At 11 o'clcock, depending on the guitar, you start to get some grind, but it's all about how hard you hit the strings. You can still get cleans and drive by adjusting your touch. This amp has some serious mojo and retains great articulation and clarity also.

If you go through my instagram, there's a short clip of my group covering 'manic depression' with this amp and a sunface straight in.

One tip I'll throw in there- I auditioned several nos valvos and current production jj and tung sol el84s, and the nos 57' valvo was both louder and had more headroom and sounded so much dang sweeter. I left it in there.

The only reason I'm selling it is I recently inherited an amp that is very similar in that it's also single ended, and I am in a small apartment.

One last tip*-  The amp came with the vintage purple eminence speaker that Reeves had Eminence build. I gotta say, that speaker did great in the higher wattage reeves amps, but it just didn't work well for a 6 watt amp. Since I live nearby, I spent about 2 hours auditioning speakers at Jim's house (Jim - owner of Scumback Speakers) in Los Angeles; and we tried 5 of his different models and I tried 3 celestions at my home the same day. Ultimately, the speaker in there now was the winner. (celestion g12h30) Sounds great in there.
I will pack it like it's a fragile china bowl, although I think this amp might be indestructible. It's seriously the most "built like a tank" amp I've ever owned.

cheers, Craig
