joe naylor and dennis kager announced recently that reverend has stopped production of the reverend king cobra 20/60 (reworked hellhound 40/60), goblin 5/15, reverend speaker enclosures, and reverend all tone speakers.
according to mr. naylor, only 1,000 hellhounds were made, 350 hellhound heads, approx. 600 king cobras.
this means collector, so a heads up...to all of you, lock in these amps if you have the ka-ching...i was considering parting ways with mine, but after the tube change and this news, i'm keeping that hellhound.
all reverends are hand numbered, and some have knob and label mispringts (higher demand).

Have they sold the surplus from their site yet? I heard about this a while back (we a couple of weeks at most) and they said they were selling the surplus direct, that's sold out already? :eek:
Finding a reverend here though is extremely hard. :mad: If I were you I'd pray Reverend become the "Way Huge" of the amp world. :D
:cheers:

their new line of guitars are VERY VERY cool, and under 600 dollars. I'm VERY impressed. I want one.

ah yes, keep an eye tuned to ebay. every so often a reverend amp will be up (and normally for a really good price).

the bass response was the biggest difference and it has a very crisp, almost glassy top end. the dynamics have improved greatly and the amp has a very "fender twin" quality about it.
after i changed the tubes, the amp really did not like the jekyll and hyde, but loved the keeleys even more....so i ditched the jekyll and hyde for some EHX effects.
very very nice, i am extremely happy.
