We happened to have a few vintage Tweed amps in stock so we thought we'd crank them up so you can hear the difference in these terrific amps for yourselves! We hit each amp with a 1965 Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Jimmy Page Les Paul Standard so you could hear some vintage single coils as well as humbuckers. While we were making this video, a 1959 Gibson ES-335 walked in the door and we just had to hear it so that's in there too. We hope this video gives you an idea of the different tones you can get out of these killer tweed amps. Please share this video and subscribe to our KZbin channel. Pony up!

1949 Fender Tweed Deluxe

That 58' Harvard. Wow!

[@michaelphillips9007]

This guy is a hell of a rhythm guitar player.

[@nyawnyaw12345]

This video is a gem I’ve watched it so many times, it’s so great to hear how unique each amp sounds, all seem to have a gritty driven tone that’s close to a fuzz, I haven’t heard a fuzz pedal come close to replicating it tho so cool, the Harvard is my fave!

[@jpalberthoward9]

The little '56 Princeton in the picture on the left actually taught me good right hand technique. It was my first encounter with real touch sensitivity and output tube dynamics. If you play hard, you get what Billy Gibbons calls "4 flat tires on a muddy road", and then when you start to learn about the attack of the right hand, these amps begin to reveal their full dynamic range. they have everything from clean to mean to scream, If you know how, you can make them sound any way you want.

[@SeigeAGreySun]

I love this sound so much!! Dude is killing it with some incredible playing here. I could listen to this all day.

[@jeffwinick8859]

The combo of the '49 deluxe and the Jimmy Page LP sounds AMAZING!

[@marlonmoneda12]

Forget the amps, who is that guitar player???? I absolutely hate amp demos done by crappy guitar players cause you dont get the real vibe, but this guy has it together to match the amps awesome tone! I dig the Hendrix pull for the very first sound sample! Marlon

[@JONNIE_ROCKER]

+Marlon McNatt its Bob Wagner

[@keithweyuker3136]

I really dig all of these amps. I have a '58 Harvard. They are sweet.

[@frogslips]

Beautiful tones and playing. Could listen all day.

[@cmkilcullen8176]

Love the Hendrix Band of Gypsies reference riffs - smokin'. Love all these amps. Can barely afford the re-issue versions of them, but I love them. You have a great sound. Strat o tastic and more. Thanks. Good review.

[@cliffdykes1171]

love this, gives me the chance to hear these classic amps in person, sort of, I have the Fender 2 amp collection from amplitube and it is great, good chance to hear these amps with good playing.

[@Jomomma1]

Really good tweed demo. Probably the best I've seen yet. Thanks for the good work.

[@therealmadferret]

Awesome demo guys, love the fact that it's not just 10 minutes of soloing. I'm really digging that 59 Princeton with the Strat neck pickup, just sounds beautiful.

[@jimmymarchisotto8152]

Thank you for referencing these amps! I used this video to see how close the Lovepedal High Power Tweed Twin pedal gets to the actual tweed tones. I gotta say they did a great job! After hearing your demo I've case to our base said pedal. It has a little more tweed tone than the Wampler '57. I will be getting the Les Lius soon to round off my tweed era sounds.the Stevie mod is another one I'll be getting to fully capture the 50's as well as the 60's sounds! Thanx for the demo! Great chops as well!

[@MrDT543]

Definitely wanna grab one of these for studio use. Just nothing beats the sound of a vintage tweed amp cranked up

[@middle_pickup]

Incredible 335 sound at the end.

[@PaulyStax]

The fucking Champ at the end was totally bathing in juicy goodness. It sounded disgustingly good and just oozed so much character and color. They all did really. The distinct fender sound was present on all of them. But daamn man. That little amp was killing it! And the player was killin too. Very tasty and smooth playing and execution. Very good demonstration of the color of these amps. Nice variety.

[@jakeweismann]

Great playing - love the old Fender tweeds.

[@trevorbantleman916]

Great sounds I own a 1953 Fender Delux which sounds as good as all those great amps , really appreciate those amps .

[@daveebryan828]

Nice 'Roundup'. Great to hear the 5F10 Harvard, alongside of its more notable mates. Thanks!

[@Saf1ouane]

such a great player

[@javiceres]

I come back to this at least once a year.

[@bigsby6bender]

Fun demo, great playing, and it was awesome to hear those pieces of history!

[@surfstrat59]

This is like, the GREATEST video ever posted to KZbin..... I'm still reeling from the awesomeness!

[@desmo999]

Faaaantastic played and a great demo with a wonderfull sound!!!

[@holmes1978]

Excellent review along with excellent historic gear !!! Peace Sir .

[@shawnbell6392]

I always like Bob's playing. Goes nicely with these amps.

[@mrzots]

Man I love your playing...sweet and no show off!

[@SpirituSalis]

Great demo. The amps all have a personality.

[@nvrbeab]

Don't stop making video's. I've seen almost every one ...and can't stop. Thank you!!!!!!

[@ssimon64]

the '58 Harvard with the Les Paul and the '55 wide panel Champ with the Strat are my two favorite sounds.

[@Strumbum01]

Killer video and playing! I really liked the Deluxe and Princeton amps.

[@trinityamps]

Nice demo of Classic clips. Demos the capabilities nicely.

[@StratsRgreat]

Fine playing and brilliant choice of guitars with classic amps.

[@-DILLIGAF]

I've watched this video over 100 times. No lie! Killer playing Bob

[@MrDeaweber]

Thank you, Seriously, Thank You to everyone from the player to the production and the proud amp owner to the payer of the bills = thank you for a very well put together video showcasing what, after a 25 year long journey I've come to realize = tweeds produce the finest overdrive there is! I also went on a grueling five year journey searching for the fuzz tone in my head. I found my fuzz pedal and yes It sounds like a melting down tweed magically controlled in just the right places by just the right amount to be versatile and incredible sounding lol. Now I know where the core fuzz tone I had in mind came from. I'm blown away and Marshall's may well have their place but they're never going to sound the same to me. It's as if everything after that sound was a shadow of those kings our player coaxed into speaking to the people. Couldn't have been better played for showing off those amps IMHO. Sorry for all the fanfare I'm putting in my comment but this is literally the biggest and most exciting discovery I've made when it comes to tone.

[@jcarabillo46]

One of my favoright all time videos!

[@Greggyboyz60]

I love Fender Tweed tone. Great playing..

[@holmes1978]

Thanks for showing the Legendary Fender Tweed Amps , do more on them like what artist did what songs etc... Plus the 57 Champ tweed please .

[@EduAlexification]

That 49' Deluxe is incredible, the best in my opinion with that fine Strat

[@granttg83]

I'm the proud owner of the'49 Deluxe in this video

[@nohomatt]

Tim Errington why did you part with it? I see it's now relisted in Singapore?

[@granttg83]

I still have it, I live in Singapore

[@fixfinance]

On its way to me.... Thanks Tim

[@granttg83]

enjoy it! I miss it already!

[@granttg83]

Just want to check you are getting my messages on reverb? Amp is at your local post office!

[@jsphillip60]

Excellent demo! I also liked the Princeton the best. The Harvard was nice too. And the 59 Champ. Hell, it all sounded great!

[@andrewt248]

Strat through the Champ sounds exactly like "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs". As it should.

[@SodabrotherNr1]

A good strat, A nice Les Paul and One of thse tweed amps= all you need! Great showcase!

[@alltubepreamp]

I love them all. I'd like to build them by myself, to make these tones! Someday...

[@Terryomalleyonline]

The tweeds seem to be a perfect match for strat....would love to see and hear these amps with a tele too!

[@musicmatty67]

Excellent video demo..the Princeton really had some nice sound dynamics.

[@teslapete4461]

My favorite combo I've ever played was a 1952 fender champ 5w with an actual 1969 jazzmaster with silky smooth P90's 😍

[@ElCapinyoazz]

Jazzmasters didn't have P90s.

[@aevans692]

nice vid .. . I have built a few Tweed Princeton , tweed deluxe , champ ... just about to build a bassman .. I think that my all time fav is the tweed Princeton with a 10" , thinks this is the ultimate practice / studio amp .. love a bit of tweed ..

[@fabiofazmusica]

With strat the things are very special!

[@IncurZeAwperator]

that jp lp with the first amp is just perfect classic jimmy page tone!

[@TheGrandMaster896]

No way. Through that guitar in front of an old Supro and bam.

[@IncurZeAwperator]

+Elias Calhoun naw man a tele thru a supro

[@Chrisalchin]

The Awperator nothing like page tone

[@OldRunt]

Simpletons

[@kathyfoucaud940]

All this amps sound awesome !!!

[@imannonymous7707]

Right out of the gate that 49 sets the standard known as tweed ....very cool

[@kommi1974]

That 49' is SICK. I'd be happy with that amp the rest of my life. That overdrive has serious mojo.

[@SarcastSempervirens]

49 lp and 58 harvard strat. great playing!

[@tabletop77]

Love my '55 champ...so much fun to play

[@steveo44]

This fella seriously knows how to play rhythm. Tweed amps sounds amazing

[@ChrisHeadyYHWHworshiper]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! There is definitely a drop off in the tone and character of American amps. Although I am falling in love with the modern versions of the Twin and Deluxe.

[@giulienk]

These amps sound killer. I definitely appreciate the cranking up of vintage Fenders...

[@Musicstorelive]

I'll jump in here in case anyone is interested where this was recorded. I agree with your point about a room mic point 100%. I LOVE nothing more than a good room sound for just about everything. However, we were not working in what you'd call a great "live room environment". We recorded this in my old office that has a drop ceiling so a close mic was our best option. That being said, we hope it's a fun video that sheds a little light on some of the different tweed varietals.

[@blackdotpatrick]

Beautiful playing.

[@gabriellandell154]

Inspiring this sound. Great tone

[@lushkordz6643]

a really nice & dynamic player ....i dig more the Strat tone of these stellar tube amps.....

[@EdgarBeja]

I really enjoyed this video! Amazing playing :)

[@markstelmaszek9070]

I gotta go with the 59 Princeton and the Strat. Sweet!

[@milesharris335]

Hot damn that 335 is something else!!!

[@pyroman6000]

I know, right? The tone of that combo just screams for some Black Crowes riffs!

[@MrCrapheadist]

59’ Princeton for me, but speakers and cabs are the real difference makers here. All sound amazing

[@oscarleonardi6013]

wowww amazing sound !!!

[@giuliop7692]

beautiful playing on The Weight

[@harrytsui]

I personally like the 59 Princeton the most! really digging that clean sound!

[@jixxxxer17]

nice show and demo !

[@andystephenson5407]

that 49 sounds a awsome man very vintage

[@Desmond000007]

Best guitar tones on youtube. Period

[@donborgal975]

My favorite amp here is the 49 Deluxe ...what an incredible tone. It reminds me of the sound of my 1952 tv Bassman, but it's a bit brighter sounding than my Bassman. Very cool comparison!!

[@glassslide]

Awesome demo! Liked the '58 Champ the best.

[@sooparticular]

great ending great guy great amps great playing

[@jegr3398]

[@terojarvenpaa5215]

Mr Leo Fender was a genious!

[@Denae2239]

1949 deluxe sounds like an early 60's maestro fuzz

[@jayvanorsdol]

Dude, you rock and get to play vintage guitars/amps?! Nice work, and great playing. I won't tell anyone that you teased Fluffhead during that demo.

[@maikhonreinhr1962]

I'd like to hear that '49 Deluxe with a '55-'56 Goldtop... 🤘🏼

[@TheSterlingSound]

Great player, really enjoyed this

[@iahawk36]

Great video guys!!

[@holmes1978]

Excellent review !!!

[@vrcimino1250]

Great player love tweed amps.....btw I bought a Tagima T-635 from this company at $349, hands down best strat copy ever at this price or any price. So great I bought another one w/rosewood board. Only two electric guitars I own.

[@dapperdanman1956]

Great play in fact perfection!

[@DaviMunis]

Freaking nice playing dude!!

[@randyhase1475]

I would like one of each, please.

[@jpalberthoward9]

Good ol' Leo, God bless the guy! He got it so right in the early days. People are still chasing that mojo with all them there pedals and digital contraptions. You can get close, sometimes amazingly close, but when you hear the real deal, there's really something special about it that defies words.

[@diego2246]

Nice clean tones!

[@philtron1969]

Making Vermont proud, Bob! Greetings from Austin!

[@JeffDaytonMusic]

Fine playing there!

[@wickedcrypto6004]

This guy is one hell of a guitar player

[@alandeniston9229]

I pick the 49 Deluxe. Like syrup on pancakes

[@haysfordays]

+Alan Deniston Seriously!!!

[@alandeniston9229]

1 year later... 12/6/16 I find this same 49 Deluxe for sale on Reverb. Unfortunately it's in Singapore.

[@fixfinance]

I bought it

[@alandeniston9229]

Congrats ! If the seller didn't live in Singapore I would have driven to him to plug in and buy it myself.

[@whimpypatrol5503]

'49 deluxe, such a suprise. Surprisingly it took several iterations of les paul designs before classic rock was discovered by Eric clapton thru a marshal bluesbreaker.

[@andystephenson5407]

my favorite tweed breakup is from a 3x10 bandmaster

[@watntarnation8471]

I love these kinds of videos

[@jhneilson]

I miss these demos

[@brucenlittlepictures]

That 59 Champ with the Strat is straight Billy Gibbons. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Devora_3106]

The Princeton with the HH is just awesome

[@caskstrengthwhisky]

I would have any of these, but the '49 Deluxe with the LP was just to die for. Modern amps will never have this much soul...

[@willxin4517]

All lovable, my fav was the Champ.
