Members Jigowatt Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 I just read this preview of the Bambino from Reason Amplifiers. I haven't seen or heard much about Reason gear, but this sounds like a really sweet mini amp head. Bambino Preview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AaronF Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 The guy who builds those is a killer, I mean KILLER, player. He lives here in St. Louis and used to work for St. Louis music. He does amp work at a local shop in town. Never spoken with him personally but lots of people say he is a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jigowatt Posted July 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 I definitely want to check one out when they are available. Those power tubes, 6AQ5, are there any other amps that use those? I'm curious what those would sound like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goofydawg Posted August 8, 2009 Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 They're available now, and at $699, they're incredibly attainable. Just check out the Reason Amps site (http://www.reasonamps.com). I've done a bunch of reviews on my blog on Reason gear, and I just dig their stuff. BTW, the Bambino is absolutely killer! Played it through a 4 X 12 the other day, and couldn't believe how gorgeous it sounded! Also, the amp is actually 8/2 Watts, not 7/1. I got one of preproduction models that have the 7/1 switch, but Obeid Kahn (Reason's amp designer) adjusted the power handling on the amp before release. A little bit about Obeid. He used to work for Crate, and designed all their vintage-style amps. He designed awesome amps such as the Ampeg Jet J-20. One thing that Obeid is a master of is power handling, and making amps LOUD!

Members Slunderfungus Posted August 9, 2009 Members Share Posted August 9, 2009 Goddamnit,thanks asshole, now I'm gonna have to check them out too:poke: just playin around, but on a serious note, Crate amps have been good to me over the years and the tube amps have always had a great tone, but get a bad rap because of the Crate name. The Carates I have had have been well worth the money and much, much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
