Hand-built in Germany and featuring a genuine Class A power section, the TWS SingleSix Combo is a single-channel all-tube amp for electric guitar made for one thing – to deliver crystal-clear tones. A number of design decisions have made this possible: Its stripped-down signal path does without extras like reverb or an external effects loop, and instead of a traditional tone stack, the SingleSix features Tone and Mood controls. These work like a tilt EQ to shape the sound, while also adjusting the amp's response from smooth and subtle to more aggressive. With 6W of power, the combo is perfect for home use, sounding excellent even at living-room levels.
Outwardly inspired by the aesthetic of a 1950s French public address system (yes, that's right!), TWS has reimagined this vintage design as a modern, high-end bedroom guitar amp. Inside, the output stage comprises a GZ34 rectifier, a 6SL7 preamp tube, and a 6L6 power tube - which team up with heavy-duty transformers to deliver a full, warm, and punchy sound even at living-room levels. The wiring and layout inside the SingleSix are kept deliberately minimalistic - since short signal paths and low contact resistance lead to an especially clear, open tone. As usual, TWS has avoided long cable runs or plug-in connectors at all costs; instead, every component is point-to-point soldered, for maximum purity.
The TWS SingleSix Combo is the ideal amp for creating a guitar sound at home that's detailed yet full-bodied, even at moderate volume. Price-wise, this is an upmarket piece of gear – a tool for really discerning amateurs who care deeply about sound and build quality, but also for professional guitarists who want to be able to replicate every nuance and dynamic of their onstage perfomances within their own four walls. All this means the SingleSix is also at home in the rehearsal room or on small club stages: And at 16kg, it's still easy enough to carry around, which is impressive considering its cabinet is built from 12mm birch plywood and houses a heavyweight ceramic magnet speaker, the Celestion G12M Greenback. What keeps it light is primarily the solid aluminium chassis that holds the amplifier components.
Tube WorkShop (TWS) is a young German company founded by a seasoned guitarist and audio electronics engineer. TWS offers handcrafted guitar amplifiers tailored for players who demand exceptional tonal quality and emotional depth from their amps. TWS amplifiers combine superior craftsmanship with the musical complexity inspired by vintage amps. Their designs primarily utilise valve (tube) technology, focusing on sound, tactile feedback, and aesthetic appeal. TWS's lineup includes combo amps, amp heads, and matching speaker cabinets. Additionally, they offer custom amp designs, tailored to meet individual customer specifications.
The TWS SingleSix Combo is built to deliver great sound at home, which is why it runs at a modest six watts. But guitarists won't just love playing the SingleSix on its own – the combo is also ideal as a pedal platform amp. Similarly, when it comes to style, nothing is off the table: From the direct, authentic Blues tones of B.B. King or Eric Clapton, to the warm chords and solos of the Jazz standards, all the way to smooth, creamy Rock sounds. And thanks to its single-ended Class A power stage, owners of the TWS SingleSix can swap in a variety of power tubes without needing to adjust anything - a straightforward way for any guitarist to dial in a sound that feels truly their own.
