Part of the growing range offered by Melbourne, Australia, based Achillies Amps, this Blackface Deluxe Reverb sounds as good as it looks. Labros Bogthanis has been working for years to perfect his passion - period correct and tributory replicas of the classic amps of yore. I have never owned a 'blackface' amp so playing this and the Achillies Vibrolux (forthcoming demo) has been a real treat for me. And how great do they sound? Wow! But I'll let the video do the talking. Specs are below and you should visit the relevant links for more info. Expect to hear a lot more Achillies Amplification on this channel.
