Carl’s Custom ampsClassic Tweed Deluxe 15TBuilt with all the best parts! Please allow 3-5 weeks to be built and shippedSOUND CLIPS AT: 5E3 CLASSIC TWEED DELUXE: The 5E3 Tweed Deluxe is one of the most revered small tube amps of all time. At 15 watts it’s a great club amp. It has been played by greats like Billy Gibbons, Neil Young, Don Fender, Eric Clapton and countless others. It is a truly classic design. The amp yields harmonically complex bell-like clean tones at low volumes and milkshake thick overdrive as you turn it up. There’s a good reason it so popular!! My amps are meticulously hand-wired and fit any Tweed Deluxe cabs found online. NO TUBES are included but can be added. Request an invoice if you want any options. Paypal Only! Please ask for a shipping quote if you are outside of the Lower 48 States.Please check out sound clips and more amps at my website: carlscustomamps.com Features and Parts: · 15 Watts of all tube Hand-wired Goodness · Classic Tweed Deluxe Uses: two 6V6’s, one 12AX7, one 12AY7 and one 5Y3 or GZ-34 · Cathode Biased: no need to re-bias to replace tubes · Bright and Normal Channels each with two inputs · Controls: Bright Volume, Normal, Volume and Tone · 8 ohm Speaker Out · Mallory 150 Caps · Alpha Pots · Carling Switches Neutrik or Switchcraft jacks · Classic Tone USA Output Transformer, Classic Tone or Marvel Electric (sister company of Classic Tone) Power Transformer · Special Selection of Resistors for the best tone and lowest noiseF&T Filter Caps Options and Mods Tube Set ADD $75 (JJ's 6V6's, JJ's GZ-34, JJ's 12AX7 and JJ 12AY7) · Bass Reduction Mod FREE (takes out some of the bottom end and make the amp humbucker friendly highly recommended) · Bottom End Firming Mod---gives the amp a tighter bottom end ADD $25 Buyer Comments:NOTE: Some buyers are referring to the complete combo also available. "All guitarists eventually succumb to the never ending quest for the ultimate amp that will resonate the ultimate tone. It's a quest that can be expensive and disappointing along the way -- buying and selling amps that just don't make the cut. And what is that holy grail of tone . . . bass without the flub, chiming cleans that sustain to the next strum or balanced articulation between each plucked string? Is it an amp that can also delivery beautiful fidelity and roar deeply with every overdrive pedal . . . or an amp that doesn't go brittle in the highs or muddy in the lows?Well . . . the internet is full of testimony from countless gear heads who have tried every amp, speaker, pedal, etc. and have validated their opinions. But the opinions never reach 100% consensus leaving a margin of error and reason to keep buying the next amp. Eventually, one goes off the beaten commercial path and seeks out the small craftsman who hand wire with the best parts. Their price reflects the missing marketing and distribution costs that bloat most of the big name boutique makers. There are a few out there and Carl is one of them . . . offering the biggest bang for the buck.After circling the wagons at NAMM, for the last eight years, and cycling thru Marshalls, Fenders, Bogners, Riveras, Bad Cats, Carrs, etc, etc. . . . I gave this unknown amp maker from New Mexico, a few bucks and a shot at hand wiring one more chance at putting the quest to rest. Bingo . . . when the classic tweed deluxe arrived, I was stunned at the quality and tone for the price. Though I wish I simply bought this amp from day one, I probably would not have appreciation the richness of tone after trying some many of the other renown amps. This is a great amp and the only amp I need! Add a mic and drive it thru the high end Meyers PA systems, and nobody will believe the big sound came from this little 12" combo."Oliver Caldwell CA"Sweet amp, good communication, very pleased with my purchase!""Special order mods handled well. What a deal!!!""Wow ... a great little amp. Well put together and quality made. A+++"All guitarists evenOliver Caldwell CA "...I am really impressed with the Amp. I have a 66 blackface bassman, a
couple vintage Ampegs, and a DR Z. Your amp seems of equal quality any
of the above." "This is the best sounding damn amp i own.a joy to play."
