I liken the "tweed" sound to color radio... :lol: No really, as the video described, I found my perfect tweed sound using a jumper on my 5E3 and working both volume controls.

I honestly can't think of worse or more poorly conceived methods for conveying sound than vague words or crap recordings/playback. It's easy to find a tweed to try, and even easier to find one to listen to, live. That's what a tweed -- or, really, that specific tweed -- sounds like.

Do we think that it is more about what it isn’t than what it is? As in “not as clean or mid scooped as a blackface”?
