Excellent condition and in perfect working order featuring 100 watts of power, four 6L6 power tubes, three 12AX7 pre-amp tubes, Hi and Lo inputs, black face plate, and 2x12 cabinet with ElectroVoice EVM-12L speakers. The amp and cabinet are covered in black Tolex with black woven grill cloth and raised Van Weelden logo plates. The original footswitch with Overdrive, Pre-Amp Boost and Mid-Boost switches is included. This amplifier was hand-built in The Netherlands and imported to the US in 2013.
This amplifier is serious and meant for those who are serious about tone. Van Weelden Twinkleland amplifiers are available by special order and take quite a lot of time to receive. These amps are often seen on stage and in the studio with many professional guitar players including Joe Bonamassa. I have been fortunate enough to play several different Dumble amplifiers. This Twinkleland is by far the closest I've come to the experience of playing a Dumble. The overdrive has rich saturated harmonics and articulate mids and bloom that are unmatched by most amplifiers. Although this amp came to our shop used, it has been immaculately maintained and appears to have clocked very few hours up to this point.
From Van Weelden: The "Twinkle land" - Musical, dynamic, powerful & harmonic are just a few of the keywords that represent this hi quality, custom made and hand wired guitar amplifier. The Twinkle land will cover an almost endless selection of tones from a warm, high-headroom and bright singing clean tone to a rich dynamic and sustaining lead tone with lots of harmonics. This valuable unit is extremely touch sensitive and will surely please the more advanced player.
