Amp Auction: Reverend Hellhound Tube Combo amp

Amp Auction Description: Late '90's Reverend Hellhound 40/60 watt all tube amp.Brand new 6L6 tubes matched for maximum tone.Amp is in excellent shape. No Tolex tears and just a bit of wear to the grill cloth.No international sales. Lower 48 USA only. The Hellhound is a single channel with a Schizo switch that toggles between UK (up position) and US settings. UK gives an upper midrange boost and more drive for British tones, and US gives you crystal clear American tones. Following the Schizo switch is gain, volume, treble, mid, bass, presence and reverb. Electro-Harmonix tubes are used throughout: two 12AX7's in the pre-amp, 12AX7 reverb driver, 12AX7 phase inverter and two 6L6 power tubes. On the back panel reside 4, 8 and 16 ohms speaker outputs, effects loop, and the wattage switch that goes from 40 to 60 watts for extra headroom when needed. In the 40 watt mode there is still more than enough power. Speakers: The Hellhound uses a Joe Naylor designed 12" Reverend All-Tone 1250 speaker made exclusively for Reverend. The hybrid design uses a British cone for smooth overdrive, but with a small 1-1/2" voice coil for chimey clean tones. The speaker is mounted in an all-plywood, open back cabinet.Joe Naylor contacted Dennis Kager to design the circuit. Most people know Dennis from his employment with mid-60's Ampeg, and as a consultant for many other major amp manufacturers. First, Joe told him the type of sound he was looking for-- the ultimate bluesy sounding amp that also works for classic rock, but not to much gain. Do not expect it to sound like a Mesa Boogie. After the right sound was achieved, Joe then took advantage of Dennis repair shop knowledge. Dennis made sure to use reliable parts and construction methods. Anything he saw fail in the shop would not be in the amp. Good for you, bad for him--he won't be seeing too many of these amps in for repair. Ceramic power and pre-amp tube sockets are mounted directly to the Hellhound's steel chassis. There are separate glass-epoxy PC boards for the pre-amp and power sections, for easier service if ever needed. The ceramic tube sockets, jacks, and switches are all hand-wired and chassis mounted for reliability and easy maintenance. The tubes are easily accessible for changing, but they are also well protected.
