Big Tweedy Drive

The Big Tweedy Drive captures the character of large tweed Fender combos from the 1950s, designed by Bjorn Juhl. Unlike the tighter blackface Fenders, tweed amps have a looser, more compressed feel with emphasized low-mids. The Big Tweedy nails this character.

Four controls: Volume sets output level, Gain adjusts distortion amount, Tone shapes high frequencies from significant cut to slight boost, and Presence fine-tunes the upper shimmer. Works particularly well with single-coils but handles humbuckers too.

Current draw is 10mA. Runs on 7.5-12V with 9V recommended. Input impedance 220K at 1kHz, output 1K ohm. True bypass switching. Manufactured in Taiwan.
