Henriksen Tweetey

The Problem?

The desired tone for flattop and nylon string guitar players requires a speaker system that responds to higher frequency overtones so that the bright and crisp tones those guitars produce acoustically is properly reproduced. Standard guitar amplifiers do not typically reproduce those high frequency tones very well, and "acoustic" amplifiers typically sound too thin and weak for standard electric guitars. Musicians are left to find one amp that is a compromise in tone for both electric and acoustic guitar, or to spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on a separate amp for their acoustic guitars.

The Solution...

Tweetey^TM is a simple, elegant solution which allows you to have a warm, rich sounding amplifier that will also bring out the brilliant highs of flattop acoustic guitars. Simply plug the Tweetey into the extension speaker jack on your amplifier, and you now have the extended range needed to properly amplify an acoustic instrument.

The Tweetey uses an Eminence APT-50 Super Tweeter and has a built in crossover(@2.5kHz) and a level control knob. The Tweetey also has two parallel in/out jacks for daisy-chaining, and a microphone mount so you can place it anywhere in the room you need it, creating a great field effect which adds to the natural acoustic sound of your instrument. A Tweetey (or two!) mounted to a mic stand at ear level, 3 or 4 feet away from the amplifier creates a hi-fi sound experience that you will get lost in. It truly is a pleasure to hear.

When using the Tweetey with a JazzAmp, the tweeter and the crossover are designed to work with the 3 kHz and 10 kHz knobs on the JazzAmp equalizer. Many acoustic amps offer the ability to turn a tweeter on and off, or the ability to turn the tweeter volume up and down, but with a JazzAmp you can actually equalize the Tweetey to perfectly blend it with the sound of the amplifier.
