The reverb in this traditionally oriented model is different in sound and components in comparison to our other
multi-channel models. It's voiced and optimized for the sounds fans of yesteryear's amplifiers are accustomed
to and expect. The character is lush and deep with a brighter voicing and a longer but very usable "vintage"
decay. It creates the ambience that authenticates the sounds dialed up in Tweed-based preamp and choice of
unique power sections available on the Multi-Watt™ rotary. We feel it compliments the personality and character
of the Cal Tweed perfectly and is arguably one of our best reverb circuits ever.
The rear panel of the California Tweed matches the front panel's simplicity and contains only those features
that are consistent with its straightforward design, yet it accommodates the essential modern needs. Hence,
the rear panel is very sparse compared to other MESA models and contains only SPEAKER outputs (one 8 and
two 4 Ohm), the effects loop SEND and RETURN jacks and a reverb footswitch jack. In the spirit of the genre,
less is more.
Cabinetry and its construction play a big role in the California Tweed's sound and character, along with a great
traditional sounding Alnico speaker. Different and unique back panels and speaker baffles tune the combo
and extension cabinets in this model and provide increased vintage-voiced resonance and a sweeter, less
forward sound and feel. The Jensen Alnico Blackbird is perfectly voiced for traditional sounds, from Blues to
Roots, Country to Gospel, R&B and everything in between with its organic midrange character and sweet, top
end. This translates into a stylistically appropriate openness and dynamic response that is superbly expressive.
In combination all these choices and characteristics add up to a stylistically strong statement that stands ready to
redefine as it brings new performance to an old game full of long-standing classics. We really hope you'll enjoy
the enhancements and refinements to this class of amplifier as much as we enjoyed the process of bringing
them to you and we hope they help bring you inspiration and your playing to new heights!
