Tungsten Crema Wheat

Tungsten Crema Wheat 1x12 Combo – Boutique Tweed Power house

Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful Tungsten Crema Wheat 1x12 combo, widely considered one of the finest boutique interpretations of the classic 5E3 Tweed Deluxe circuit ever created. Handmade by Adam Palow of Tungsten Amplification, this amp delivers the perfect vintage vibe with modern reliability and gig-ready headroom. While a traditional vintage Tweed Deluxe pushes about 12 to 15 watts and can get muddy or compressed quickly, the Crema Wheat is rated at 20 watts, utilizing a custom-wound Mercury Magnetics transformer. This gives you a slightly tighter low-end, significantly improved clean headroom, and a sweet, vocal overdrive that cuts beautifully through a live mix. It is an incredibly touch-sensitive and dynamic amplifier. It cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob and responds instantly to your pick attack.

Specifications & Features:

• Power Output: 20 Watts
• Circuit: Inspired by the classic 5E3 Tweed Deluxe, optimized for modern player needs
• Power Tubes: 2 x 6V6 (Can also accept 6L6s for a different headroom profile)
• Preamp Tubes: 12AX7 and 12AY7
• Rectifier Tube: GZ34
• Speaker: 12" Celestion G12H30 70th Anniversary Note: *There is a vintage Celestion Silver Bulldog from the 60's installed currently (reconed). However, it is only rated for 15 watts. For this reason, I hesitate keeping it installed and will put the original G12H30 back in it for you. If you really want the Silver Bell, I can keep it installed (instead of the the G12H30) if you don't talk me down too much on the price(!) and won't blow it! It can't handle the full 20 watts - believe me!
• Transformers: Custom-wound Mercury Magnetics
• Cabinet: Finger-jointed pine cabinet wrapped in classic lacquered Tweed

Condition Notes:
The amp is in great cosmetic and functional condition. The leather handle is a little worse for wear but still functions. It has been kept in a smoke-free environment and strictly cared for. The lacquered tweed looks fantastic. The amp runs quiet with zero issues.

Shipping & Terms:
The amp will be packed securely and shipped promptly. Local pickup is also available. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you need additional photos. Thanks for looking!
