Take your pick:

The way I think tweed is:

tone circuit with no mid dip and jensen p-series speakers begging for mercy.

Like the Navy's sound powered phones from the '60/'70s, the louder you yell the more distorted they become  :icon_biggrin:

Just another cute little turd from Floyd. You're special. There's someone on the forum I'd like you to meet.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
