The California Tweed™ LOVES pedals. The input circuit and tube preamp is thoroughly optimized and beautifully responsive to pedals, guitar volume changes, input boost, and your favorite effects. In this example, the delay is placed in front of the amp, although the California Tweed’s FX Loop is also a perfect interface for FX (particularly time-based FX like delay & chorus), etc, as well as rack mount processors or more elaborate effects devices.
The blend of the delay with the California Tweed's lush spring reverb creates an incredible ambient effect that feels as good to play as it sounds.
Designed to be authentic to classic blackface and tweed clean sounds, the California Tweed 4: Forty is the quintessential pedal-platform amp. Combined with our patented Multi-Watt functionality, the California Tweed is perfectly simplified, yet highly configurable to your musical amplifier needs.
Available as a 1x12 combo or medium 23” head, the California Tweed Series also welcomes two vintage-tuned, matching 1x12 & 2x12 extension cabinets that deliver the classic resonance of the Cali-Tweed voice.
