How To Tame Tweed Disease

Here is a video clip explaining the method I use to tame “tweed disease”. You techs that are watching this you probably already know what tweed disease is and how to tame it in a vintage amp or brand new build. For those of you who are new to building amps doing the DIY thing this tip will help you with this anomaly. Tweed disease is that crackling sort of noise you hear on a vintage amp and can occur on replica type builds.

Testimonials:
David Nicholas - The 20watt amp is sounding fantastic! Delivered the goods at the gig and I'm finding cool tones all over the place with it. Love the cab w Emenince Tonkerlites too- perfect for my sounds! Makes the 12 string sound like a grand piano!
Peter Lacis - I had an audition for something recently that was all about Led Zeppelin I -- my custom Pennalizer BLEW THE MINDS of the guys I was playing with. They couldn't believe the sounds coming out of that amp. That album was never in my mind when I came up with the idea....so that's yet another testament to the amazing work that you do.
Scott Goldberg - I am very satisfied with the set-up, and the fast turn around.  With the "lower" action it feels easier to play.  I will definitely spread the word.
