borrowed this stellar piece of tweed tone.

Sometimes you plug into a piece of gear and are just blown away......this is one of those times. I love a good tweed style amp, and this Rift Amps 30TV is the best I have played through.

Properly sophisticated tone, fat, warm and complex. Just incredible. Anyway sadly for me this is borrowed at the moment, however I’m going to enjoy it whilst I can.

Woof! That looks bloody lovely! Is it like a tweed super 5f4?

assuming earlier style tweed circuit, octal preamp valves and a "15 speaker; amp heaven for me.

It's a 5B5 Pro circuit but can run 5Y3/6V6s also. I use 6SL7s rather than 6SC7s as they're still in production, the big 15" Alnico kicks out some serious vintage tone, it's brilliant.

I just had to comment on how gorgeous that Strat is. One of the best colour schemes ever for a Strat. Beautiful amp too. Would love to have a whole day with those.

I actually bought this from guitars4u. I went with the purpose of finding a strat that I could like. It’s a custom shop journeyman relic with ancho poblano pickups, fat fifties neck that’s flamed and the lacquer has worn away on the neck. Rosewood board and rolled edges. 

A hybrid weirdo of a guitar that I love to ply, so easy and pleasurable to noodle on.
