Tweed Deluxe 5E3 Custom built amp. Killer stock tones and mods on this MYT5E3!

Description

Hello! I am a retired weekend warrior guitarist and gear nut. For years I’ve enjoyed creating my own hand-wired tube amplifiers for myself and friends. I started with high quality kits from Allen Amp, Mojotone, Marsh, Tubedepot, Ceriatone, and many others. As time went on I’ve slowly progressing to some custom builds. It’s a passion that I greatly enjoy and as I’ve learned, I’ve become better and better at it. I take the time to be very meticulous to detail. I enjoy building great sounding amplifiers with the finest components available. PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS. THE CARE, QUALITY, AND TIME I TAKE MAKES FOR QUALITY RESULTS!
Here we have my custom creation of the famous “Holy Grail” late fifties 5E3 Tweed Deluxe that I call the MYT5E3. I’ve always liked the top front control design of the Black and Silver faced Fender amps and found that the Brown Princeton 6G2 chassis worked perfect for this build. I used the optimized circuitry and also many of Fender amp “Guru” Rob Robinette’s suggested modifications to make the amp more versatile. What you see here are pictures of the first prototype, which is the end result. I could not be happier with this amp!
Please see below for more details of this amazing amp –
·
Fender 6G2 Brown Princeton front control style chassis
·
ClassicTone made in the USA Transformers, 40-18021 power & 40-18022 8 ohm only output, * NOTE: CLASSIC TONE MADE THE BEST REPRODUCTION TRANSFORMERS, BUT IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS SO THAT ALONE MAKES THIS UNIT A COLLECTORS ITEM!
·
Tung-Sol Pre-amp & power tubes; Jan 5Y3 rectifier tube
·
F&T or Sprague Atom electrolytic caps, Jupiter coupling caps
·
1 Watt Carbon Film resistors for low noise &
tight tolerance
·
Optimized component layout for more direct signal path and less noise
·
Single input for each channel to allow for use of external A/B switch if wanted and a toggle switch next to the inputs that will internally jump the channels like using a patch cord on the original 4 input design (Once you hear the harmonic complexity of the jumped channels, you won’t use it any other way!)
·
Standby switch added
·
3-Position bright switch added (None/some/more)
·
Lead channel mod – Normal channel changed to a Marshall 1987 Plexi circuit with V1
cathodes separated with added and changed component values to fatten &
tighten up the bass and eliminate the 5E3's "fartiness.” The bright channel is unchanged for standard classic 5E3 tones
·
3-Position Negative Feedback Switch
added for three levels of preamp gain.
This is a great mod that really offers more versatility
·
Pre-Phase Inverter Master Volume mod.
It works well and is out of the circuit when turned all the way up
·
Upgraded filter cap values for tighter low end
·
Custom made clear pine dove-tail jointed cabinets by TRMguitarcabs. With this one I choose Black face era cosmetics using the finest materials.
