RP Sixty 112

Blues Marvel

Just got a few days ago a fairly clean RP Sixty Five. I'm absolutely loving this thing with my MIM 52 Tele. I'm setting the Master Volume on full up and the Gain at around 5 to 6 sounds very vintage overdrive and cleans up nicely. Running it on Lo plate voltage.

If I understood correctly the Sixty Fives were 78 and 79 and the 65s were 80 - 84.

This one has no 12AX7 and has a paur of 6L6s.

I have a gig next weekend with my Blues Band and Plan on using it.
Probably stick one pedal in front and mainly use guitar volume.

The amp looks to be in great shape. Good choice on the speaker. My friends all drive Celestions. You can's go wrong. Have fun. -mgriffin

Took the amp apart and one of the big caps is leaking. The cap says 100mfd 450 volt, I assume a 100uf 500 volt will work? I ordered two 2 day shipping, was hoping to use this on my next gig this coming Saturday.

OMG I just thought this amp sounded good. With the two main caps replaced the tonal character has changed dramatically and I like the results. It sounded great before but sounds greater now.
