All-tube combo · 40 W RMS · 10 kg
Nipple
Tweaker
Forty tube watts, two independent channels and the weight of a much smaller combo. A stage-ready amplifier built around tone, without carrying unnecessary kilograms.

All tube signal path
Less weight.
All the character.
Three 12AX7s, two EL34 JJs and an all-tube audio path keep the response organic, dynamic and touch-sensitive.
The two channels are genuinely independent, each with its own Gain and Volume controls. They share a three-band EQ, while Presence and Resonance act on the power-stage negative feedback to shape attack, depth and speaker response.

The innovation inside
One less transformer. Much more freedom.
Instead of a conventional heavy mains transformer, the Nipple Tweaker uses a switch-mode power supply. The SMPS generates the voltages required by the tube circuit while dramatically reducing weight and size.
The result is a complete 10 kg combo without giving up a 40 W RMS output stage, a true all-tube audio path or an Eminence GB12 speaker.
- High-efficiency SMPS power supply
- Fully tube-based signal path
- Easier transport for rehearsals and live stages
Developed with a musician
Andrea Pession × RL
The Nipple Tweaker was developed with Andrea Pession, long-time guitarist with the local band The Patelavax.
A project shaped by direct dialogue between the workbench and real-world use: power, flexibility and portability designed for the player.
