The JTM 65 strongly reminds of the JTM 45 from 1965!
This amp is known to be a slightly changed copy of the Fender Bassman from 1957. It definitely finds its strengths in its Clean and Crunchy sounds! It has a classic ECC83 preamp and as standard with all Gladius amps is the unique Variac power reduction! Only the world's best US made output- and power transformers are integrated, next to being hand-wired, equipped with state of the art tubes! An indispensable extra feature is the Channel-Patch that combines both channels (Hi Treble & Normal) without having to use a conventional patch cable. Its KT66 power tubes create a powerful tone, which covers everything from Blues up to Blues-Rock and is geared to the early sounds of Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton.
The most transparent and organic JTM 45 ever.
The JTM series is still Gladius' most successful amp series. After 20 years, the MK5 versions are now being released in July '24. Adrian, the engineer behind Gladius, has always wanted to preserve and improve the exact sound of the world-famous Plexi amps. That's why there are also the 4 most influential amps in this era with the corresponding seasons of the years of release. The major differences can be found in the transformers, which Adrian has had reproduced in the USA with meticulous precision over decades. Single channel point to point and hand-wired is of course a must. The arrangement and selection of components are also essential. Over the years, the various MK versions have brought more and more features from the 70s Marshall to the JTM models without changing the original Plexi character. One of the most important innovations was the lossless master volume in conjunction with a real Variac. The last development stage was the use of selectable bright caps, which catapulted the amps into the new millennium and completely changed the sound character. The decisive factor was always to retain the Plexi character 100% and still get a selectable, very modern metal tone. I have offered many well-known manufacturers from the USA and England for sale here in Europe over the last few decades, but nothing is as powerful as a Gladius sword and nothing sounds as big as a Gladius amp.
