Mesa/Boogie California Tweed 6V6 4:40 1x12 Combo Baby Blue (New)
In the twilight of the 1960s, SF Bay Area amp repairman to the Stars, Randall Smith, was inspired to start building his own amplifiers after coming to a deep appreciation for the â50s Tweed circuits. He loved their organic-sounding voice, powerful controls, and the way they smoothly transitioned from clean to clip and back again.
Standing on the shoulders of a giant, Smithâs (and the Worldâs) first venture into boutique guitar amplification resulted in a new BoogieÂŽ amp design inspired by that wonderful, timeless-sounding preamp. Five Decades later we return to pay homage. Now, drawing on these 50 years of experience, we bring forward an exciting new realm of tweed-based performance and authentic 6V6 character. A beautifully simplistic design that raises the bar in the world of vintage tone. The NEW CALIFORNIA TWEEDâ˘.
A quick glance at the front panel of the California Tweed reveals single-channel simplicity. Channel features include Normal & LowâŻInputs, Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, Presence, Reverb & Master Controls. Our legendary vintage all-tube, long-tank spring reverb with external reverb switching jack and a fully buffered, tube-driven series FX loop round out a feature set that delivers everything you need for golden tone and absolutely nothing more.
Single Channel, 5 Power Voices, One Simple Switch
The California Tweed is powered by 4x6V6 Power Tubes while the preamp features 5x12AX7 and 1x12AT7 preamp tubes.
