Up for sale, a 2010 Union Jack Amps "The Tweed" tube amplifier head in excellent condition and perfect working order. Hand built in the Pacific Northwest one at a time using some of the highest quality parts available, Union Jack have found their way into the rigs of artists ranging from Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and Andrew McKeag of The Presidents of the United States of America, to Davey French of Everclear. This model, known as The Tweed, is largely inspired by the 5E7 Fender tweed-era Bandmaster circuit, and features a set of Magnetic Components Classic Tone transformers, a Groove Tubes 5AR4 rectifier, Tung-Sol 5881 power tubes, and Electro-Harmonix 12AX7 and 12AY7 preamp tubes. The amp delivers roughly 40 watts of power with 4, 8, or 16 ohm outputs. Tonally, this amp is nice and spanky at low volumes, but turns very snarly and brown when pushed into overdrive, delivering that classic narrow panel tweed tone at great giggable volume levels, loud enough to keep up with a drummer without drowning everybody out! Housed in a classic Marshall small box plexi-esque headshell, this amp is a great "secret weapon" tone machine, and would look fantastic on stage or on a studio shelf. Cosmetically, this amp in fantastic shape, and while it has been gigged, there is precious little wear to mention as it has been very well cared for. This is a great option for anybody looking to get into a handbuilt mid-wattage tweed style amp at a very reasonable price point!Please check out our shop "Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar" on the web, and feel free to call us directly with any questions at 206.399.8518.
