2024 Tweed River 5w Tube Amp Head w/1x12" Cab
Tweed River amps come from Pittsfield, Vermont -- just down the street from the shop a ways! This one is wired like a 5F2-A tweed Princeton but has high-grade, boutique components and is built to an exceedingly-high spec with a custom pine cabinet (with dovetailed edges) for the head and comes with a custom, mahogany cabinet for the 12" speaker. These Tweed River amps sound like the best version of a 5w tweed you'll ever hear. They're incredibly musical and the care and attention to detail in the build and components is what makes them shine.
