- description: http://wamplerpedals.com/heritage/tweed-57.html Yet another great pedal from the house of Wampler. This one belongs to the "Heritage Series" and aims to can a whole heap of great tweed amps from the late 50's. It covers low to medium gain and reacts very dynamically with my guitar's volume knobs. But most of all it has that sound that is associated with an amp from this period - cranked and otherwise. Great stuff, Brian! A note: In this video I call the pedal's "Input Simulator" toggle a "channel switch". This is perhaps misleading as the Input Simulator is exactly that: a toggle-able virtual input set (Bright, Normal and Both or 'Linked'). On a tweed style amp and many others for that matter, you will often see a set of four inputs - 2 x Bright and 2 x Normal. Many people like to 'link' or 'bridge' one input to the other for a sound based on the combination of those inputs. For instance, on my HIWATT I plug my guitar into the Normal input's high level input. I then use a small patch cable to link the Normal Input (low level input) to the amp's Bright input. This gives me the sparkle of the Bright input with the warmer sound of the Normal Input and also allows me to mix the two inputs to my taste by means of their respective and dedicated Volume controls. The same situation could apply to a Bassman combo (for instance) or any other amp with two or more different Inputs. The Tweed '57 emulates this facility beautifully with its Input Simulator toggle. It's a very cool addition to this pedal and one which I'd love to see more of on other pedals.
