Tweed-based performance and authentic 6V6 character
When people say Mesa/Boogie, they naturally think about high-gain amps. There's a reason for that — the company is legendary in that department. That said, back in the 1960s, Mesa's founder Randall Smith was originally inspired by '50s Tweed amps. He appreciated their organic-sounding voice, powerful controls, and smooth clean-to-clip transitioning. The California Tweed 2:20 pays homage to Randall's original inspiration, delivering Tweed-based performance and authentic 6V6 character.
Chime-filled Jensen Blackbird Alnico 40 speaker

Thanks to the Blackbird's powerful, controlled bass and brilliant, sparkling treble, your California Tweed 2:20 will be primed for jazz, country, rock, blues, and anything else that comes its way.
