This a 2009 Royal Albert model from 65 Amps. This is a single channel 45 watt amp with two KT77 power tubes. The controls include volume, treble, bass, middle, presence, and a switchable mid boost. There are high and low inputs. This amp is designed for those who like a big full clean tone with a little bit of grit. My model is a head and I run it through a THD 212 cabinet. No effects loop but the mid boost can be foot switched in and out. I will gives this an "8" because it is a simple set-up without any extra bells and whistles.

I play a PRS Santana MD and a PRS David Grissom into this amp and use the following set of pedals: Guitar > Visual Sound Route 66 > Keeley Modded Rat > Fulltone Wah > Tech 21 RVB > MXR Carbon Copy > Royal Albert. The tone of this amp is similar to a nice blonde piggy back Bassman, in that it has a fullness to the tone and a depth to the notes that is amazing. Even when I play guitars with single coils the tone is still nice and fat. I would describe this amp as a foundation for your tone, it will distort if pushed but the sound is best on the edge of breakup. I can play jazz, blues, rock and fusion with ease, would not be suitable for metal. This amp has brought a new energy level to my playing and it loves to be played out on a stage in a live performance.

I've been playing for 30 years and have owned at least 40+ amps over the years. If this were stolen I would order another the next day. I love the tone of the amp and volume level is just right for playing a gig. After I bought the Royal Albert I found myself selling off alot of the gear I had collected over the years because it wasn't being used. These amps (65 Amps) are setting a whole new standard in the area of professional gear.
