Clark Amplification Kanee Reverb Combo

This one is a 2005 Model, I picked it up used in a trade deal.

The features on this amp are identical to those on a Vintage Fender Blackface Princeton Reverb combo... Hi/Low Inputs; Volume; Treble; Bass; Reverb; Tremolo Depth; Tremolo Speed. Reverb and Tremolo are controlled by a Fender-style two button footswitch.

Enhancements over and above the vaunted Princeton Reverb are:

Standby Switch; Speaker extension jack; Bias Circuit/Potentiometer; 12" Speaker (Custom featrure for Kanee as well); larger Power Transformer for more plate voltage/headroom; Paul C. and Stokes Circuit Mods for increased power/clarity/headroom.

This amp has everything you need and nothing you don't. No tone-theiving bells/whistles like FX loops, built in effects, built in attenuation, etc....

Its power is pretty much PERFECT. It fits very nicely into the niche between a Vintage Princeton (12 Watts) and a Deluxe Reverb (22 Watts). According to Michael Clark's website, the amp is blueprinted and built to put out between 18 and 20 watts. That sounds about right. Having played through several PRs and DRs this amp sounds very close in power level to a DR.

Good news is that it's actually smaller and lighter (appr 34 lbs), but has all the great sound.

I was, at first, a bit disappointed. An $1800 amp that sounded quite harsh and gritty/raspy when pushed. It had a gorgeous clean tone at lower volumes, but turn it up past 4 on the volume and it was very raw and gritty.
I did a tube swap out, for NOS tubes all around. In checking the power tube bias I realized that it had been biased far too hot. The bias was readjusted to the proper levels and VIOLA!!! Instant tone machine! The particular Weber Speaker isn't the best one for this amp (that will come next... speaker experiments!) but once broken in nicely it now sounds very smooth, and very deep. The bottom that this small amp puts out is amazing.
The cleans are LUSH and SWEET, the tones when pushed to about 3/4 volume is pure, unadulterated CLASSIC ROCK/BLUES tones. It will start to 'fart out' a bit when pushed to max, but not as badly as some vintage BF 6V6 amps I have played.
It responds VERY well to adjustments on the guitar volume knob. Set the amp to "7-8", turn the guitar volume down to about 5-6, select a Single Coil pickup and it's off to the clean tone races. Spectacular, lush, vibrant, chimey cleans. Roll the volume on the guitar up to 8 and it's blues time. Almost an SRV-like raunch with tighter low end. Need to solo? just roll the volume to max. need a touch more sustain and girth? flip the switch on the guitar to the bridge humbucker, and it sounds like you just wenth through two or three different overdrive pedals, but all you needed was a great amp and a versatile guitar and a decent cable.
As for pedals, this amp will take pedals very well. it's not the best I have ever used with regards to pedal interfacing, but it's definitely in the top 3 or 4.
The reverb is pure blackface, but not overpowering like some amps. I used to own a Super Reverb and it was almost unuseable with the 'verb turned up past 3. This 'verb is warm, musical and 'just right' at about 4-5 on the dial.

The Tremolo is the best there is. Tube driven, bias varying and very deep. IT can get really slow, or it can get almost 'leslie-like' and quick. No matter where it's set, it sounds great and organic.

Not sure, but with the quality of workmanship and the bullet proof nature of the components and build quality, I can't imagine having any significant problems.
Mike Clarks reputation is one of pure craftmanship and attention to detail. 'nuff said.

Never had to use it, but in many inquiries over the past few years, Mike has always been very responsive, even weekends and nights he will answer the email questions completely and professionally.

This amp isn't cheap. It's not a starter amp or even a valuable vintage collectible.

It is, however, as good or better than that closeted '65 BF PR that we all dream of finding, but with brand new components and upgrades to bring the technology up to date while retaining the vintage tone and mojo.

If you have the money, this is the best model for those looking for the greatest aspects of a very giggable Princeton Reverb or Deluxe Reverb but don't want to agonize and worry over lugging a 40+ year old collectible amp to a smoky honky tonk bar.
I have played MANY MANY amps and owned about half of them. this is one of the top 3 I have ever seen and I continue to grow to like more each time I fire it up.

I have had it now for several months and even though my first impressions were less than stellar, once properly set up and adjusted, this amp is like an extension of my hands and guitar. It feels as good as it sounds. Exactly what I have been searching for!
