AMP 3 (TWEED)
This is the amp that started it all. With its smooth, fat distortion and harmoni-
cally rich clean tones, coming from 40 Watt and 2 x 12” speakers, this quickly
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 fronted 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.

AMP 4 (VOX 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.
CONTROL NOTE: Our Presence control styles the “Top Cut” on the original AC30
exactly – except in reverse (“off” = cut) to make it more logical.
Original’s valve compliment: 4 x ECC83s, 1 x ECC82 in the preamp, 1 x GZ34
rectifier, 4 x EL84s in the power amp.

AMP 5 (MODDED OD)
For this model, we styled the Overdrive channel of a very expensive, handwired,
custom preamp made by a renowned Californian builder. Its beautifully deep
and rounded low-end, 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.
