VIBROTWEED DELUXE

Two great American voices. A new expression.

Some amplifiers have defined the sound of the electric guitar.

Sounds that belong to the memory of generations of musicians: the open, articulate clean of the great Blackface amplifiers, the raw intensity of Tweed and Brown circuits, and the living response of a valve amplifier as the volume rises and the music begins to take shape.

The VibroTweed Deluxe is born from this tradition.

But not to repeat it.

It comes from more than thirty years of experience with vintage amplifiers, from a desire to understand their character deeply, and from the ambition to bring what they do best into the present.

Keeping what matters.

Reworking what can be improved.

Creating an amplifier that is not a copy of the past, but a personal synthesis of experience, listening and design.

The VibroTweed Deluxe. Tradition, beyond recreation.


TWO CHANNELS. TWO EXPRESSIONS OF THE TRADITION.

The VibroTweed Deluxe brings two profoundly different sonic worlds together in one instrument.

BLACKFACE

The more open, defined and luminous side.

An articulate clean tone, with depth, dynamics and that particular sense of space that made the great Blackface tradition so influential.

A sound that can remain clean and authoritative, welcoming the guitar and revealing every nuance of the player's touch.

TWEED / BROWN

The other voice is more aggressive.

Rougher, more intense, closer to the point where sound begins to lose its perfection and gain character.

A more immediate response, with greater attitude and a saturation that can become an integral part of the guitarist's expression.

Two channels, two personalities.

Not two reproductions of historic amplifiers, but two interpretations of a sonic heritage that remains relevant today.


THE CHARACTER OF VALVES. THE FREEDOM OF THE PLAYER.

The VibroTweed Deluxe was designed to offer a response that changes with the way you play.

Your guitar's volume control, the attack of your pick, the way you work the strings: everything contributes to the result.

The clean tone can remain open and articulate.

The sound can become denser, rougher, more intense.

And when you push the amplifier, the response of the valves becomes part of the music.

Not an added effect.

Not a simulation.

The behaviour of a true valve circuit, developed to be played.


SPRING REVERB. REAL DEPTH.

The VibroTweed Deluxe features valve-driven spring reverb.

A circuit designed to deliver the natural depth, decay and sense of space that belong to the history of vintage amplifiers.

Not simply an effect placed on the signal.

But an integral part of the amplifier's sonic path.

From a subtle touch of ambience to a wider, more enveloping presence, adding depth to clean tones and character to driven sounds.


TREMOLO. TRADITION, RETHOUGHT.

Bias-modulation tremolo is one of the most fascinating elements of the great valve amplifier tradition.

It is also one of the circuits where experience with vintage amplifiers can make a real difference.

In the VibroTweed Deluxe, the original circuit has been developed around a MOSFET-based solution, designed to address some of the typical limitations of vintage tremolo circuits: unwanted noise, unreliable triggering and stability issues that can compromise long-term reliability.

The result is tremolo that retains the character of bias modulation, while taking a more modern approach to its design.

A deep, musical pulse.

A movement that can remain barely perceptible or become an integral part of your phrasing.

A circuit designed not simply to evoke the past, but to be used with confidence.


NOT A REISSUE. A SYNTHESIS.

The VibroTweed Deluxe was born from direct experience with real vintage amplifiers.

From decades of listening, repairing, analysing and designing.

From a deep understanding of the circuits that shaped guitar history, their strengths and their limitations.

During development, the amplifier was played by dozens of guitarists accustomed to authentic vintage sounds.

Musicians capable of recognising a convincing response, a credible attack and natural dynamics.

Their feedback helped shape the final result.

Because an amplifier can be designed at the workbench.

But its true character is discovered when it meets a guitarist.

The VibroTweed Deluxe is the synthesis of that experience.

The best of tradition.

The freedom to go beyond it.


BUILT IN ITALY. ONE AT A TIME.

Every VibroTweed Deluxe is built in the Artesound workshop in the Italian Dolomites.

The amplifier is handwired, using eyelet board construction.

Every component, every connection and every design decision is part of a process personally overseen by the builder.

Construction is not separate from the sound.

It is part of it.

The cabinet completes this philosophy: selected woods, careful workmanship and finishes that reveal the character of the material.

An amplifier built to be played, listened to and kept.

A musical object made to remain.


SOUND HAS NO FORMULA.

The VibroTweed Deluxe was not conceived to replace the guitarist.

It was conceived to offer new possibilities.

For those who seek the clean tones of the Blackface tradition.

For those who love the rawness and aggression of Tweed and Brown circuits.

For those who want spring reverb, bias-modulation tremolo and the response of a true valve amplifier.

For those who already know the great vintage amplifiers and want something that is not simply another reissue.

The VibroTweed Deluxe is an amplifier to be discovered with your own guitar, your own touch and your own way of playing.

Because sound, in the end, is not a formula.

It is a relationship.

Between the player, the instrument and the amplifier.
