WITHDRAWN - Rift 1x12” Custom Tweed HP 15. 30 watts of glorious High Powered Tweed deliciousness.

What's Hot
merlinmerlin Frets: 6199
edited September 2023 in Amps £

I bought this (actually traded it) recently but glorious and amazing though it is, I prefer 6v6s and believe it or not, slightly less headroom....which is what I have in my other Tweed thing. 

It's a Rift Tweed 15 HP. From the outside it appears to be a 5e3 (but it most certainly isn't) although it does have many things in common. Amazing articulate sound, tight bass, harmonic mids and clear but not overly bright highs. Chris from Rift as certainly crafted some magic is under the hood.  It has tweaked circuitry and stays pretty damn clean, and it runs a pair of 6L6s.  Although it's called a Tweed HP 15, it is rated (by Chris) as 30watts. It is loud, damned loud and gorgeous.

The hand wound transformers are oversized hence the need for the 100 watt WGS Blackhawk (£240 by itself).  Goes without saying that it’s hand built, hand wired in the UK. It's a beast. 

I am reluctant to ship this, so would really prefer collection. 

£1350

    could this be run with 6v6s ?

    would the rectifier need changing

    No, this one can't run 6V6s, it's not designed for them.

    Just so y'all know, I'm going to be trying a 12ax7 in v1 today. 

    It may make me change the listing.

    Let me know how it goes Merlin!  That 12AY7 is very clean and punchy.  Could warm and break it up nicely.

    I used to run mine with a 5751. Found that well suited for the Rift. Good balance between clean and “controlled” break up
