amp. Set the Bass and Middle knobs at halfway to put them in 'neutral', turn the Presence to 0, and try the Treble knob somewhere above halfway for a classic Tweed sound.

1958 Tweed B-Man

The 1959 Tweed B-Man Model is based on* the classic '58 Fender® Bassman® 4x10 combo, the amp that started it all — instant rock and roll tone. Originally a bass guitar amp, the Bassman® became a Blues staple for 6-string guitarists. It has the fat bottom end you'd expect from a bass amp, but also has the Fender® twang on the top.

Incidentally, when Jim Marshall built his first amps with Ken Bran they were heavily influenced by the early Bassman®.

One of the interesting things about the Bassman® is just how interactive the Middle and Treble controls are. The Middle control isn't a bandpass, as in most tone control setups. Instead, it's almost like a second treble control.

The two are additive, so if you're running your Middle knob higher than halfway up with this model, you'll find that the Treble control might give you more bright than you really want. On the other hand, when you turn the Middle knob down, you'll probably want to boost the Treble.

The Bassman®, like many of the amps modeled for GearBox, didn't have a master volume. So to get the kind of tone that the Bassman® can deliver at higher gain settings, you had to crank it up loud enough to do some

serious damage to anyone who might be standing close by. Now you can get that kind of tone at a bedroom or studio level — or even through your headphones! Try a Drive setting of about 4 or 5

—it's guaranteed to dredge up the best R & B licks you know.
