BluesMachine

The BluesMachine is an amp that oozes tone and touch responsiveness from a tweed style clean channel that cascades into the overdrive channel. Expanding on the TweedyVerb platform, there is a two-tube reverb and tube buffered effects loop with an active master volume along with the previously mentioned overdrive channel. The BluesMachine has 50 watts of power from a pair of 6L6 tubes, a fixed (50 watts)/cathode (40 watts) switch, and a switch to go from 50 watts to 18 watts.​

A touch responsive tweed-based amp that is a gigging blues or blues-rocker’s dream.

​Also available as 45 watts (dual KT66) or 90 watts (dual KT88) for an additional charge.
