1. CABINET

BLK 2X10 (BLACK2x10)

Although we did not model the amp that goes exactly with this cabinet, we loved the tone of this mid-60s Fuller- ton, California made open backed 2x10" ceramic magnet (of US origin) 35 Watt combo. So here it is. Great for blues, jazz and country. As with all cabinet models it can be mixed and matched with any amp model to produce some interesting tonal combinations. But for some recom- mended uses, please see the following charts.

BLK 2X12 (BLACK2x12)

As you’ve probably guessed by now, this speaker system accompanied the amp that was modelled for the BLACK 2x12 amp. Featuring two 12" Ceramic magnet speakers, again made in USA in the mid ’60s. They are 8 Ohm units wired in parallel for a 4 Ohm total load. These speakers have been fea- tured on countless recordings of many styles of music, but very predominantly Country and Blues based Rock.

TWD 1X12 (TWEED1x12)

This speaker is the other half of our Tweed 1x12 Amp model. As the name suggests it is a single 12" speaker, uses an Alnico magnet and made in the USA by one of the US’s revered names in vintage loudspeakers.

TWD 4X10 (TWEED4x10)

Keeping with the US made Alnico magnet speakers, this cabinet partnered our TWEED 4x10 modelled amp. It is an
