A quick glance at the front panel of the California Tweed reveals single channel simplicity. Channel features include Normal & Low Inputs, Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, Presence, Reverb & Master Controls. Boogie's legendary vintage all-tube, long-tank, spring reverb with external reverb switching jack and a fully buffered, tube-driven series FX loop round out a feature set that delivers everything you need for golden tone, and absolutely nothing more.

After testing numerous options, searching for a speaker capable of delivering the magical vintage tone they were after for the California Tweed, Mesa/Boogie chose the Jensen BLACKBIRD ALNICO. The resulting combination delivers a tonal character that is absolutely perfect.
