    Chris' Tweed 15TV (5A3) is finished in my new darker Tweed lacquer. It's stuffed full of premium components including Jupiter Vintage Yellow tone caps, Heyboer TXs, Switchcraft sockets, CTS pots, and yellow cloth wire. Unusually for Rift, this one is loaded with a Celestion Blue instead of the WGS Black and Blue.

    John's Tweed 5C is loaded with Jupiter Red Astron tone caps, a WGS G8C speaker, and a NOS 6SJ7 preamp valve. A padded soft cover will protect his little beauty as it travels about!

    Tweed 30TV (5A5 Pro): The latest (and last) TV front amplifier added to my lineup, sitting alongside the 5TV and 15TV. Pushing out a soft 25w, it's best to think think of this amp as a beefed up Deluxe with a pair of 6L6s driven a huge 15" speaker. Stuffed with a WGS G15A Alnico speaker, Jupiter Red Astrons, and 3 x 6SL7 preamp valves.

    Simon's Tweed 5C (5C1 Wide Panel Champ) was ordered in my unique 2x8" configuration which retains the classic Champ attack whilst providing for a bigger soundscape. Looks and sounds like a mini-twin!

    Loaded with a pair of WGS G8C ceramics, a full set of NOS valves, and of course Jupiter Vintage Yellow tone caps.

    Dave's Tweed 15 (5E3) was ordered in standard configuration, but that doesn't mean it's lacking tone!

    Choc full of premium components inc Jupiter Vintage Yellow caps, CTS pots, Switchcraft sockets, UK made custom wound TXs, and loaded with the brilliant WGS G12Q 20w speaker. To protect the amp, Dave ordered one of my padded soft covers.

    From July 2017, all Tweed 15 models (inc 15C and 15TV) can now run 6L6s with a GZ34 rectifier if you're that way inclined, just plug and play!

    I want to try a wgs g12q with my vibrochamp   head I built. I really  love my jensen mod 12 35 though. Might take the plunge anyway. Nothing ventured n all that!

    I recorded with this yesterday for the first time – a video demo of two fifties Gibsons. Outrageous on all counts. I'll post the link when it's live :-)

    Steve's Brownie 5 is ready to go with Jupiter Vintage Yellow tone caps, WGS G8C speaker, NOS valves, and not forgetting REVERB! Yup, a foot-switchable, two-knob, valve driven reverb circuit with 3-spring short tank can spec'd in your build

  • @RiftAmps your amps look gorgeous.
    Can you do any of these as a head?  I am thinking of a low powered Princeton type. Maybe one 6V6.

    @bacchanalian Thank you :)

    I do a single-ended PR type called the PR6 - http://www.riftamps.com/pr6.php

    It can run 5881,6L6, KT66, and EL34. I can do one with a 6V6 if you want.

    Head is an option, minus £70 off stock price.

    Awesome amp. This is the sort of combo I had in mind.
