Reviews

"Tube bass amps don't get much more luxurious than the Reeves, but the luxury comes by way of sonically beneficial high-end components and nearly flawless construction."

The first thing you notice when you fire up the Custom 225 is the truly massive, lush, powerful low end.  You feel like you are playing in a stadium with a wall full of amps behind you, no matter what the volume level.  It is a highly satisfying sensation."
