In the twilight of the 1960s, San Francisco 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, Smith’s (and the world’s) first venture into boutique guitar amplification resulted in a new Boogie® amp design inspired by that wonderful, timeless-sounding preamp. Five decades later, we return to pay homage. Now, drawing on these 50 years of experience, we bring forward an exciting new realm of tweed-based performance and authentic 6V6 character. A beautifully simplistic design that raises the bar in the world of vintage tone. The new California Tweed™. 

A quick glance at the front panel of the California Tweed reveals single-channel simplicity. Channel features include Normal & Low Inputs, Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, Presence, Reverb, and Master controls. Our legendary vintage all-tube, long-tank Spring Reverb with an external reverb switching jack and a fully buffered, tube-driven series Effects Loop round out a feature set that delivers everything you need for golden tone and absolutely nothing more. 

Single Channel, 5 Power Voices, One Simple Switch

The California Tweed is powered by 4x6V6 power tubes, while the preamp features 5x12AX7 and 1x12AT7 preamp tubes. Our patented Incremental Multi-Watt™ (Patent 9,917,560) Power Amp, featuring Duo-Class™ (Patent 7,173,488) and Dyna-Watt™ technologies, provides five power levels, two operating classes and three wiring options via a single 5-way rotary switch!
