Mesa Boogie California Tweed 20 1x12 Combo
Beautifully Simplistic, Tweed-Based Performance in a New Compact Package In the twilight of the 1960s, SF Bay Area amp repairman to the Stars, Randall Smith, was inspired to start building his own amplifiers after coming to a deep appreciation for the 50s Tweed circuits. He loved their organic-sounding voice, powerful controls, and the way they smoothly transitioned from clean to clip and back again. Standing on the shoulders of a giant, Smiths (and the Worlds) first venture into boutique guitar amplification resulted in a new Boogie amp design inspired by that wonderful, timeless-sounding preamp. Five decades later we returned to pay homage with the original California Tweed 4:40. Now, weve distilled the essence of that tweed-based performance and authentic 6V6 character in a new, more compact format. A beautifully simplistic design that raises the bar in the world of vintage tone. The NEW CALIFORNIA TWEED 2:20 1x12 COMBO. A quick glance at the front panel of the California Tweed 2
