TWEED20 Combo

The Morgan Tweed 20 is an amp I originally built for a friend of mine who is a major session player in Nashville. He loved his original 5E3 tweeds but always wished that they pushed a little harder so they could keep up volume wise with his Deluxe Reverbs. I told him not a problem and the Tweed 20 was born!

What it does

The Tweed 20 starts its life directly rooted in the 5E3 circuit. The cathode bias 6V6s giving you that sweet compression and instant touch sensitivity that allows you to go from clean to scream with just the turn of your guitars volume control. Where it differs from the original is the amount of volume and headroom it provides without that farty lowend that can happen with most 5E3 style amps. The amp eats pedals of all variety and is loud enough to be used on any stage.

At the heart of the TWEED20 Combo is a Celestion Greenback speaker speaker that delivers the perfect blend of mid range tones that will cut through any mix. We load this speaker into a void less Baltic birch ply cab that utilizes a fixed baffle to transfer the speaker energy to the entire cabinet. You will be amazed at the amount of bass from this cab
