It was available as a limited edition for a while, I don't think they still produce a tweed hot rod atm. You can always try and find one used though ^^

Try ebay my friend, you might find one there, there also some other colors available like red, green, white, blue and purple, but I guess you are looking for the vintage looks uh?

It was offered 2 years ago through the MI dealers; our other guitar player picked one up in tweed and it's a great amp for the price.

Supro has a point.A tweed one new usually runs about 900 bucks at least.For that kind of money an egnater 30 or a DRRI , but to be honest i only paid 350 used for my 59 Bassman ri and it smokes the HRDX.It also comes in tweed. Wink

The tweed covering doesn't make it sound any better. The Jenson might make it slightly better. But it won't help all the reliability issues the HRD series have.

Hey budglo, I put a 5751 Jan Phillips NOS tube in V1 in the Egnater and it made a sweet thing even better. It knocked the gain down about 30%. The gain is a bit more creamy and not so much in the metal realm. It's a beautiful round tone. What a great amp. It was SlapChops suggestion and it worked out great. It's a seriously quiet tube. I bet it might help the gain problems with the HRD series.

Is it harmful to an amp to use a 8ohm cab to a 16 ohm output of an amp?

Sky, it's not a good practice. The output section runs the risk of overheating. ART

That is what I thought. A buddy of mine stayed the weekend and we had a small jam all weekend. He owns a Peavey Classic 30 and was running his 2X12 cab which is rated at 8ohms and output is 16ohm on his amp.

Thanks for the help. Will pass it along.
