the amp is a clone of a fender 5e3 (tweed deluxe) circuit. there are only a few modifications made. the original 5e3 only produces 15-20 watts of power from two 6v6 power tubes. this amp instead has four 6v6 thats basically doubles the power. the original only had a single 12" speaker. this again is doubled at two 12" weber signature 12 alnico's i prefer an alnico speaker to a ceramic for three reasons, the first being the bell like chime the produce in the highs. the second is for the fatty grinding natural overdrive the produce when they are really pushed. and lastly cosmetically the look nicer.
the controls on this amp are simple. four inputs that can be jumpered. two interactive volumes and a tone control
in the coming days I'm going to add a 1/2 power switch so i can shift it down to 15watts for recording purposes.
