Tubesteader's nod to 1950s Tweed amps!
The Eggnog is a single-channel tube overdrive and preamp taking inspiration from 1950s Fender Tweed amps.
Based around a 12AX7 tube running at high voltage to accurately capture the feel and breakup characteristics of a low-powered Tweed, the Eggnog can transform any clean amp into a raspy box of vintage Fender-y goodness!
The tube is pushed by an always-on MOSFET gain stage, giving your guitar a helping hand in nudging it towards the spongy, saggy character players love in Tweed amps.
And, if you’re in the mood for a little extra juice, stepping on the second footswitch activates the Boost knob, giving you control over how hard the tube is being pushed.
The Eggnog also has ample output level on tap to feed a power section directly, bypass your amp’s front end via an FX Loop return, or give a healthy signal to any modern IR cab sims!
If you’re a fan of Southern Blues-Rock, Keef’s raunchy Rock & Roll, or the raw, pushed tone of Neil Young, the Eggnog will deliver those syrupy, American tones in spades.
