Which Artist TweedTone is right for you? In this side-by-side comparison, we look at the entire lineup: the 5-watt TweedTone V, the 12-watt 12A, and the flagship 20-watt 20R.
Whether you’re looking for a low-wattage studio companion, a portable gigging amp, or a versatile two-channel beast with a master volume, we put them all through the same tests. We use both humbuckers and single-coils, check the "cranked" natural overdrive, and see how each one handles a pedalboard.
