A Multi-faceted Boutique-style Tweed from Mesa
Inspired by the legendary Tweeds of yore, the Mesa/Boogie California Tweed 6V6 4:40 is a 6V6-loaded amp with Tweed-based performance. And it’s incredibly flexible — its Multi-Watt power amp features Duo-Class and Dyna-Watt technologies, yielding five power, two operating class, and three wiring options. Enjoy a stylistic choice of voicings, thanks to Normal and Low inputs that are easily shaped via a 3-band EQ and Gain, Presence, Reverb, and Master controls. Add incredible dimension to your playing with an all-tube, long-tank spring reverb. Got pedals? No problem — integrating them is a breeze, by virtue of a fully buffered, series tube effects loop. Want to enter boutique territory? Fire up the California Tweed 6V6 4:40, and you will.

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 6V6 4:40 pays homage to Randall’s original inspiration, delivering Tweed-based performance and authentic 6V6 character.
