Louis Electric HD12 Tweed (Tweed Deluxe and Harvard Inspired)

This has been a fun amp for me. The cabinet does have a few dings, but nothing that affected the operation of the amp. I also installed a highly rated Mojotone Alnico Anthem 12" 40W Guitar Speaker 8 Ohm. The Alnico magnet provides a warm and rich tone and I really liked it in this amp.

Louis Electric provides the following information for the HD12 amp:

The Louis Electric HD12 circuitry is based on two of the most popular Fender tweed amps from the late 1950’s, the Tweed deluxe amp and the Harvard amp. Guitar players have always sought out these amps in particular for their amazing clarity and tone. By taking the best features of each and combining them into one, the HD12 is really the perfect tweed style amp for gigs or recording.  We added more usable headroom and power to make this a very vintage sounding and practical amp.  The HD12 has a top-mounted design featuring three specific knobs: Bright Volume, Normal Volume, & Tone. There are 4 inputs, two high and two low.

The 5F10 Harvard had a single 6AT6 input tube. The Louis Electric HD12 incorporates the 12AX7 along with the 6AT6 as an additional input. This provides the player with two distinct sounds from the amplifier. Slightly increased gain in addition to the traditional sound.
