Yes Neil, WE'VE GOT A BLOODY VIDEO!

Wow you leave London, move to Bristol, how quickly you lose touch.  Thanks for the heads up, I think

Good memories (well, memory) of Kew.  And pleased Charlie still has his place in Kingston, I used to live there, good times

I've owned about 4 5E3 and 5X3 clones

I've had 2 Victorias:
a Regal 2, which was amazing,
and the 50212 Low-powered Tweed twin http://www.victoriaamplifier.com/amplifiers/tweed-amplifiers/victoria-50212/ don't be fooled, it is not as loud as some 15w amps

I still own the 50212, if you can find one used they are amazing value.Extremely light for a 2x12 as well

What i know about amp building could dance on the head of a needle, but my 5112 is ridiculously light too.

If i grab it for a gig instead of my carr Rambler i feel like superman picking it up lol

don't confuse yourself with thinking that 20w Tweed circuit isn't loud enough. Even the Fender authentic 12w 5e3 is bloody loud at full bore as is a power tube distortion not pre amp and therefore a massive compression wave.

Trick is to run a partner with your 5e3  and spread your sound.

Part of the riddle is factoring against what whan wants/can afford what might actually be available.  Next question I guess is whether anyone's selling any of the above^^^...  Or would that 'go' better in the Classifieds?

For anyone in the market for such things, a Victoria Double Deluxe with 2x12 Jensens has just gone up on eBay.

Tempting, but about a billion times more power than anything I need...

*edit* While it's advertised as a Double Deluxe it looks more like a 50212 to my untutored eye...

no, you can see the 6V6 valves, and the controls are 5E3 style
I have a 50212 3 feet away, it has presence, bass and treble controls

OK... thanks for the clarification.  The Double Deluxe on the website looks completely different...  Perhaps this is an older model or something.  http://www.victoriaamp.com/amplifiers-2/

there are other 5E8A amps around though, Fender did a reissue too

Gotcha.  Steep learning curve

I have a Rift Tweed 5c which may be too small but it is beautifully made and well worth checking out the higher output ones. I also have a Cornell Romany 12 which is a stunning amp as well and definitely worth having a look at

Well I know you crazy cats are all dying to know how my adventures in Perfect Tone are going...

I *may* have got a little carried away yesterday with this uber-sexy Flynn Tweed Deluxe with onboard attenuator and blue Celestion, courtesy of daddyash of this parish...

Jesse Hoff posted up something on Facebook a day or two ago.  It looks like there is something new on the way - from some of the comments it might be some kind of 5W baby J.

So, you played a 5w Victoria, loved it, so have decided to spank your credit card on an unheard 40w Lazy J40.    I look forward to your attenuator thread 

  a J40 is about a billion times more than I could ever use. 

That looks lovely.

What's the guitar?  They look made for each other.

Thank you!  I am rather pleased with it... 

The guitar is my B&G 'Little Sister'.  But for my playing, it's a marriage made in heaven
