This original tube amp with legendary reverb ranks among the world’s most sought-after vintage combos, and it is likely one of the most recorded amps in music history – for a good reason. It sounds amazing!
But it’s rare, and if you find one, it likely comes with a price tag to match. However, there are other ways for you to get your hands – and feet – on this iconic guitar tone:
Enter COMBO DELUXE 65’!
As precise as it gets
Our passionate guitar-playing team of engineers set out to faithfully recreate the original amp with the painstaking accuracy and attention to detail that only guitar players with actual hands-on experience with the original amp can achieve.
At the heart of COMBO DELUXE 65’, our AmpWorx modelling technology works its magic, carefully recreating the classic guitar tone that is the sum of every component in the circuit of the original.
The result: The best and most precise digital amp modelling of this famous amp you have ever run your guitar through.
Reverb revelation
When released in 1965, the original amp featured a dual-spring GIBBS tank embedded in a tube-based transformer circuit for generating the reverb sound we all know and love.
To nail that sound, we took the same original GIBBS unit and extracted a high-resolution 4-second impulse response, using a zero-latency convolution engine combined with detailed circuit modelling - we faithfully recreated that sweet, original reverb.
In addition, we added a Reverb ‘tone control’, which was not on the original amp, in case you want to tailor it for your particular playing style. If you want nothing but the original tone, just leave it at its 12 o’clock position, and you’re good to go!
