Traded - Vibal Tweed - 15 watt hand made/wired
What's Hot
Now traded
Decided to move on my much loved Vibal Tweed.
I currently have two 1x12” tweeds, as such deciding to sell the Vibal. My other Tweed is a Rift 30 watt custom which offers me more volume, more head room and a slightly tighter lower bottom end, other than that there’s not a lot between them.
Built by a very well respected local UK amp engineer, hand made, hand wired turret board, custom wound transformers, American and Japanese components, 1x12” eminence hemp speaker, pine finger jointed cab, etc etc (I’ve included the spec on the Dropbox link).
£475 (down from £550 - £525 -£495) trade value £550 - Trade for synth or small practice valve combo
Can potentially post, equally you’re welcome to come round and play it/AB it with the Rift.
Comments
Also has a rather nice old Mullard in V1
He was a very well respected local amp engineer who produced some amazing amps, but pulled out of fully taking the brand to market. The fact that it gives my Rift a run for its money at nearly three times the price, speaks volumes I think.
I did ask him for schematic when I bought it, however I didn’t get the impression he was very keen on handing it over. I have put the brochure on the Dropbox link. I’ve also cut and paste the wording from this below. Do feel free to pop round and trial if you wish
