Preamp

Fender amp-in-a-box with Blackface and Tweed channels, independent gain/volume, 3-band EQ—9V center-negative.

The Black Tweed combines two legendary Fender amplifier circuits in single pedal: Blackface (1960s Fender amps known for scooped mids and sparkle) and Tweed (1950s Fender amps known for warm breakup and compressed character). Dual channels provide independent access to both tonal families via dual footswitches, eliminating the need for separate pedals or amplifiers to achieve classic Fender clean and crunch tones. Each channel features independent gain and volume controls for precise level matching.

3-band EQ with bass, middle, and treble controls shapes tone after gain stages, allowing fine-tuning of frequency response for different guitars and amplifiers. True bypass ensures pedal doesn't color tone when disengaged. All-analog circuitry preserves warmth and dynamics of original amplifier circuits. Handmade in Italy with rugged all-metal enclosure for touring durability.

9V DC center-negative power. The Black Tweed targets players seeking authentic Fender amplifier tones without hauling vintage amps to gigs, suitable for country, blues, and indie rock where classic Fender clean sparkle and warm Tweed breakup define the sonic palette but modern reliability and compact format enhance practical workflow.
