The Holy Grail of Single-Ended Tone

A unique opportunity to own what many players consider the Holy Grail of single-ended amplifiers.

This timeless tweed design can be described in many ways, but its greatest strengths are its touch sensitivity, dynamics and organic response. Every nuance of your playing is translated directly through the amplifier, placing total control in your hands. Compact, lightweight and incredibly portable, it delivers the unmistakable feel of a true late-'50s American tweed amplifier.

Expect the authentic Tweed Era sound: raw character, rich harmonic content, natural tube compression and genuine rectifier SAG, producing an expressive, powerful voice that has made these low-watt amplifiers legendary among Blues, Country and Rockabilly players.

Handmade Construction

Every amplifier is built entirely by hand, starting with a finger-jointed solid cabinet assembled using the traditional "Milano Technique" with genuine Titebond wood glue. The cabinet is crafted from carefully selected Oregon Pine, providing exceptional resonance, stability and durability, and finished in authentic nitrocellulose lacquer.

The chassis is meticulously wired point-to-point, using only premium components throughout.
