65 Amps London Black/Cream

65Amps London (Owned by Charlie Sexton)
Serial: LH703325

Much about the London’s circuit design reflects its inspiration – the mid-’60s 18-watt Marshall Model 1958. Its four inputs (Lo and High for Normal and Tremolo channels) share controls for Volume and Tone. But each channel has a distinct voice, thanks primarily to its preamp tube; Normal employs an EF86, while Tremolo uses a 12AX7. If you’ve played a tube amp, you’re likely familiar with the bright tone and big low-end response of the 12AX7. The EF86, meanwhile, offers a smoother overall output.

All wiring and solder dress in the London is top-shelf, and it’s obvious Boul and Stroud did their legwork when choosing components; transformers are custom-wound by Mercury Magnetics, the Baltic birch plywood cabinet work is flawless, and the vinyl covering and art deco/retro vent grilles make for a very appealing visual presentation.

Setting the London apart from its Marshall inspiration is the Vox-inspired six-way Color switch, to which Boul and Stroud added a tone-sweep. The effect focuses low and low-mid frequency response
