Twin
This was a blackface guitar amplifier made in Southern California during the
early '60s. Its high­wattage into 2 x 12" speakers earned it a shimmering
tone. This amp's medium output and powerful sound was a favorite in rock,
blues, jazz or country clubs.
Original's tube compliment: 4 x 12AX7, 2 x 12AT7 in the preamp, solid state
rectifier, 4 x 6L6 tubes in the power amp.

Tweed
This is the amp that started it all. With its smooth, fat distortion and harmon­
ically rich clean tones, coming from 40 Watt and 2 x 12" speakers, this quick­
ly became a favorite of the greatest bands of the '60s. It is what you can call
"the classic tone". Its nickname came from the use of lacquered tweed front­
ed with vintage brown/gold grille cloth, that gave it that sophisticated look.
Original's tube compliment: 4 x 12AX7 in the preamp, 2 x 5U4 rectifier tube,
2 x GT6L6 tubes in the power amp.

AC30
This amp is based on the Normal channel of a 1959 30 Watt, 2x12, AC30. The
AC30's Normal channel boasts the bare minimum of knobs.
NOTE: The Presence parameter becomes Tone Cut in the AC30 model. It works in
reverse, by cutting the high frequencies.
Original's valve compliment: 4 x ECC83s, 1 x ECC82 in the preamp, 1 x GZ34
rectifier, 4 x EL84s in the power amp.

Boutique
For this model, we styled the Overdrive channel of a very expensive, hand­
wired, custom preamp made by a renowned Californian builder. Its beauti­
fully deep and rounded low­end, delightfully transient midrange attack and
sweet treble, with an harmonically rich overdrive, the lushest clean tone,
woody attack and blooming sustain, make it an instant pleasure to play.
Original's tube compliment: 2 x 12AX7s in the preamp, 1 x 12AX7s rectifier, 4
x EL34s (or 6L6s) in the power amp.
