FS: 2 x Tweed Amps - 5f1 Champ Combo and 5e3 Tweed Deluxe Head
What's Hot
OK ... couple of amps fresh off the workbench. Both are trial runs for a possible future range, so get them now whilst they're cheap.
First up is a 5f1 Champ clone. True classic Fender Champ sound through a 8" Celestion 8-15 speaker. Great warm cleans and that signature overdrive sound that only a small-speaker Champ can give you.
Hand wired on turret board with cloth-covered wire. Quality components throughout. NOS JAN Philips 5Y3 rectifier.
Tweed cloth has been lacquered to give an aged feel, but no relic treatment. Kind of like a 'closet classic' feel.
Offers around £650 for this? Genuine Fender hand-wired champ is £1035 at the moment, so quite a saving to be had!
Next up is a 5e3 Tweed Deluxe circuit in a compact head.
Full-fat, hand-wired Deluxe circut with 2x 6v6 output valves. Comes with VVR installed on the power valves, meaning you can dial it down to 1w for lovely Tweed crunch at bedroom volumes.
Not quite sure how to price this, so £600 for starters?
Any questions about either please ask away.
Cheers guys!
Comments
Erm actually the VVR scales the power amp but not the pre, so with it dialled down it turns into a proper crunch machine, loads of breakup at bedroom levels.
Will try sort something out, although my playing will put people off ...
Ship 'em to me I'll gladly demo them on a vid for you!! Hell yea. :-)
Head has a variable voltage control added. At max it's standard 12w Tweed Deluxe and turned fully down it's roughly just under 1 watt.
Lovely work as ever @4114Effects !
that head is screaming out for a handle though!
I wish I had the spare money and it was closer to my band going into the studio as I would absolutely use that Tweed Deluxe. It sounds superb.
If you happen to have one kicking around in January.
Got any sound/visiion on the combo??
