Oh wow love to try one of these but out of my budget.

Nearly bought it but then spotted it's got 6v6s so must be the 22w version. If it was the 40w 6l6 version I'd be going to collect it tomorrow!

Keep searching Sharky. I’m sure your one is out there.

The Redplate BlackVerb is better - offers all the functionality of the Tweedyverb, plus the more mid-scooped blackface tones too. 

Progressively more mid heavy tweed tones as you turn the knob clockwise.

There’s a very good chance that the amp is the standard 6L6 version, based on numbers next to Fixed/Cathode switch, the post-it note warning and the impedance selector set to 4 ohms for an 8 ohm speaker as per the user manual. If so, then it just  needs the 6v6’s swapping out if you prefer 6L6’s.

Either tube can be used…..

I was eyeing that up this morning but they don’t ship used amps. Boo!

Fishboy7

Seriously? A music shop won't ship an amp FFS

I'm selling a tweedyverb with a celestion alnico cream and cover here at the forum. But to be honest at that price richtone is selling it, I'd grab it and run.

If you are near enough to drive there and do so that is.

I'm suspecting it has a fault and may have been returned?

I had a Redplate before, great sounding amp when working but mine developed a couple of mysterious intermittent problems.

Yeah, well... The no posting option is really not something I understand either. A bit odd.

Its quite common for Richtone to do this.

I think it's basically all valve amps that they don't offer shipping on. Only ever seen solid state amps with a postage option.

Did someone on here buy it? Was very tempted but again the drive is stupid from Kent

It's a fair shout !

I'm sorted on the Redplate front, with my CDS2.

But these Tweedyverbs are super amps, like all the Redplates.
