You are making exactly the same argument as I am.

No, it's the flaws that make it flawed.
The 5E3 circuit is flawed from the point of view of a modern guitar player. The flaws were acceptable in the 50s due to the way the amps were used; low output, thin sounding pickups with the majority of the control being from the guitar's volume and tone pots, played predominantly clean. Later from the 60s on those flaws have become part of the sound and character and are now actually sought out.
I think the point you're trying to make is: "Just because something is flawed, doesn't mean it isn't good/useful/iconic/whatever".

It was along with a 633, and a Cornell????Cornford? anyway some other tweed thing the size of a shoebox.
It honestly left me cold, I can't see why they get such rave reviews?
It didn't do clean, it didn't do dirt, it just kinda was an amp.
I didn't mean to derail the thread, just made me chuckle that such a simple amp comes with a 'guidebook' no less.
