Tweaker-40 40-watt Tube Head Review

Durable gig head

I gave it 5 stars because it's been used for 4 years now and has never had a problem. Tubes still sound good, Jack's, switches, ect all still solid. I have used this amp on a average of 3 to 4 times a week on a giving based and its proven to be very durable. It takes pedals great through the loop or straight into the front end. Sounds great through any cab. I use all, 1 12 w greenback,… read more 2 12 w EV12L's and a 4 12 Marshall. Once you get your tone it is easy to dial in on any room. The thing I like most about it is that both channels are identical so you can set it up as a boost set up that works great for gigs. All that being said it's a great amp and I would recommend it highly.

Great Amp .. No Problems

Great amp. Very versatile. Have not had any problems with it. The only thing is that it really doesn't sound it's best unless you pair it with an Egnater cabinet ... I run mine through a Tourmaster 2x12 and it's heavenly! Have tried it through several other 2x12 and even a few 4x12s and nothing but the Egnater seems to quite sound right.

Any Sound YOU Need!

I have waited a long time to write this review because I have been told I will have nothing but trouble with this amp. I have now had it 3 years and it has performed flawlessly the whole time. The only thing I have done is change tubes when they got weak. This amp can get any sound you need from the cleanest of cleans to the in your face distortions with a flip of a switch. I have… read more 2 of the 12" cabs which sound great and FULL. This amp is Powerful and can perform on any medium to big stage without any effort. I don't use it for small venues because it is to powerful so don't let anyone tell you it won't be enough, believe me, I have been playing for a long time and have played Marshall 800, 900, and 2000 series with 4-12 1960 cabs and this thing can put out just as much sound! It doesn't have reverb but the effects loop allows you to run any pedal "or pedals" you need and the foot switch has a effects button on it to turn on or off. I highly recommend this amp, "with the matching cab or cab's" if your looking for the amp with enough power to perform at a low budget price, and I also recommend you buy it from Sweetwater because they will back it 100% and with there customer service and tech support it is a WIN-WIN!

Worth every penny

I was waiting to pick up this amp for almost half a year, I finAlly dove In and couldn't be happier. I use it mainly for recording, but it would be more than adequate for playing out. I found that re-routing a dry signal from the PC to the amp, then "tweak" a few switches, and record the output allows me to build some super thick perfectly synced guitar tracks. The build on… read more this amp is much smaller than I originally expected, which is excellent for travel, and there seems to be no noticeable consequences to the size. It sounds amazing.... The first time I plugged in I didn't put my guitar down for about 6 hours. Even my cheap acoustic felt warm and thick running direct through this amp. The only thing I found as a dissapointment was with my Parker, which is a single coil strat type of setup, required full gain and the hot switch flipped on to push it into a full distortion. Nothing the excellent fx loop can't remedy though.... Otherwise the tweaker is a great piece of equipment to add to your arsenal.
