Volta Custom Electronics Black Tweed Overdrive

Black Tweed is the American School of Amplification ... in one pedal. BlackFace or Tweed? Play them both! New valves or ... well run-in? Move the switch and choose yourself.

And anyone who owns the historic tube amplifiers knows that to bring out that tasty ripple of sound, that expressive clean , they must play at a sustained volume , often uncomfortable to manage. If you can want to saturate the final tubes of the amplifier to obtain a well structured crunch , the sound volume at which this happens becomes unfortunately unmanageable.

Black Tweed brings you exactly these sounds, but at the volume you want, while retaining all the dynamic response of the great American tube classics. The full Bass Middle Treble equalization is not a simple tone control: it allows you to also change the type of saturation , because, as in a real amplifier, it interacts with the final stage.

Choose between BlackFace modes , with a rich and harmonious clean, and a characteristic rippled breakup , and Tweed , with the typical mid-fires, more pushed and always on the verge of the most expressive bluesy crunch.
