A long awaited collaboration between long time peers, 65amps and LA tone guru Dave Friedman joined forces to bring us The Whiskey! Recapturing the revved up sound of "The Strip" in Los Angeles, Dan and Dave were able to find that unique sound in a format that is useable in a modern context. In addition to very authentic and rich distortion, the clean sound on The Whiskey is loud and proud. The clean channel is completely outside of the Master Volume circuit so the normal compromise of a mediocre clean sound in a high-gain amp is gone. One can actually play louder clean than dirty on this amp if desired.
The Whiskey gives all the classic sounds that we associate with hot-rodded British amps without going into Ubergain. Exciting, responsive and always musical; The Whiskey encourages you to have fun and take chances!
The Whiskey runs its pair of 6L6’s with a 3x12AX7 preamp.
With a distinct throttled up voice of crucial British tones and behaviors, The Whiskey can meet an astonishing amount of needs in one box! Enjoy!!!
