Tweed Tone 40410 with my favorite Relic Strat.
The Tweed Tone Series delivers warm 50's vintage tone with everything you need and nothing you don't. From the singing sustain and compression of the cathode biased versions, to the punch of the fixed biased versions, every serious guitarist needs a Tweed Tone in his gear collection. The amp designations are TT (Tweed Tone)followed by the power output and the speaker combination(TT-80212 would be an 80 watt amp with a 2x12 speaker cabinet etc.) All Fixed/Adjustable bias TT series amps come with a bias potentiometer and bias test jacks for easy bias adjustment. Do not confuse the Collins TT Series with "Kit Amps" being offered by anyone, these are handcrafted amps being assembled from the finest components available as orders are placed. You can choose from all of the original designs that are wired true to original form, or a large selection of original offerings that you will only find here. It doesn't matter If you want an 80 watt 1x12, a 6 watt 1x15, or something as simple as a middle control where it was never available before, you can find it here. You can also find Tremolo on a 25 watt amp, a 25 watt amp with a full tone stack and presence control, a 30 watt "Deluxe" style circuit, fixed or cathod biased 30 watt amps, boost and low gain preamp switching, balanced or unbalanced line outs etc., etc. Your Tweed Tone amp can be done exclusively your way, or strict to the form of Leo's original designs. If you have been looking on the web for a tweed amp I'm sure you already realize that no one else offers my long list of options for these amazing amps.

He added some reverb in the mix on all, and added an Xotic BB Preamp pedal to the last three samples. The samples were Engineered by Jesse Beaverson and Paul Girolamo, and Produced By Paul Girolamo
