Now there's no excuse not to try one's hand at assembling a 5E3 clone.

It's a clone of the Fender 5e3 Tweed Deluxe. Seriously cool amp. Very dynamic and organic sounding. It's a living breathing thing! :lol:

It's as real as you could make it I guess. It's a copy of the 5e3 circuit. Most I've played through are as least as good as the 57 Deluxe reissue and I've actually played a couple that I liked a lot better. The better the components, the better the sound.

It's the tweed Deluxe with a 12" speaker,waycool.....a cool little amp that can get good tube distortion and is a tonal wonder.....the circuit is simple and it's a great amp to record with....a little on the low power side when gigging,but can be mic'd....,just doesn't have a lot of clean headroom if cranked,Neal Young gigs with one all the time,with some mods.
