FEATURES

The Artist Tweedtone20R amplifier provides a vintage-voiced tone at an 

affordable price. The amp has 2 channels, clean and overdrive. As is typi-

cal of vintage amps the 20R has a footswitch jack on the back that allows 

you to switch between clean and dirty channels seamlessly. The footswitch 

is available at a small additional cost.

Each channel has an independent volume control, and the amp features a 

master volume across both channels. This adds clean headroom, and also 

means that you can really drive the Clean channel hard to get that nice 

warm breakup at levels that don't have to necessarily annoy your neigh-

bours. Switching to the overdrive channel provides a thick, creamy over-

drive that naturally lends itself to a subtle variety of harmonically rich blues 

and rock tones, and the extra gain on the Drive channel means you can 

keep the Master volume low and still get classic tube-distortion and crunch 

at any volume level.

Playing around with different Master and Channel volumes will provide a 

range of vintage tones, and there is some serious volume on tap with

20W of tube power!

The 3-band EQ is highly responsive and allows for a vast array of tones to 

suit your personal preferences.

This amp is loaded with a high-performance Celestion Seventy-80 12-inch 

speaker for excellent all-around clarity and performance.
