65amps

An extremely portable head that maintains boutique quality and loads of extras.

With the Ventura 20W tube guitar amp head 65amps have proven that size and convenience should not mean compromise. Many of the "Lunch Box" amps on the market are found lacking in quality for professional players. The Ventura illustrates that size and convenience can be combined with high-level, professional functionality. The Ventura is made in 65amps’ factory in North Hollywood utilizing the same high-level materials and engineering experience of the 65amps crew but is small enough to throw in the back of a taxi or take as a carryon with ease.

The Ventura uses 2 - 6V6 power section and front end utilizing 65amps’ most popular circuits, The Color channel of the London and the Bump Circuit of the SoHo. This allows the Ventura to create a rich palette of American and British tones all with the signature flair that has made 65amps a major presence on top-level tours and recording studios around the world.

The "clean" side utilizes the tried and true Color Channel from 65amps' original London and the "dirty" side employs 65amps’ "Bump" circuit that made the SoHo their most popular touring amp. Players are able to seamlessly transition through four levels of tone structure and gain structure in one amp without a thought. The Ventura is the latest offering in the 65amps "Working Pro" line that is geared towards working musicians who need super functionality and reliability while not compromising on tone and responsiveness. Finally, using transformers that are machine wound in Chicago allows 65amps to make the Ventura more affordable, which is great for working musicians.

Features

  • Hybrid London Color channel and SoHo gain stage front end.
  • EF86 Clean Channel/ EF86->12AT7 dirty side.
  • 20 watts
  • Bump that works on both channels = four Voices
  • Passive FX Loop
  • Master Voltage
  • Knobs: Volume, Tone and Master Voltage
  • Switches: Manual Channel Switch & Manual Bump Switch
  • Footswitch: dual button that controls channel and bump
  • 2 - 6V6 power section
  • 12AX7 Phase inverter

There’s never been a better time to get that boutique quality for gigging, call or click to order.

Comments about 65amps The Ventura 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:

This is pound for pound the best amp you can buy. Low price and EXTREMELY high quality. The best sourced components. The tones are so clear, even the dirty side has great note seperation. It's inspiring to play and write with. I probably will only buy from 65 Amps from now on. They have some new stuff I'm really excited about coming too! Just get this amp and stop thinking about it.

    Comments about 65amps The Ventura 20W Tube Guitar Amp Head:

    This really is a steal for the money. I opened up my amp and looked at the the work inside, amazing! This amp will make you play different, it becomes part of you, (I mean that)If you learn to use your guitars volume control, with the amps two channels and bump features(foot switchable) you can do just about any gig (except metal, well metal with a pedal). The first channel is very mellow and less bright than channel two. With that said add the bump to channel one and it gets more Marshall and aggressive. Channel two is more volume and more aggressive (Marshall to my ear)This is my favorite channel,from clean to dirt. this channel is all I'll ever need. The master voltage works great, so much better then a master volume IMHO. This amp is going up in price so grab it now I think it's a winner for everything except metal.
