Guest HRB853370 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Awesome! New amp days are sweet! Thanks Barry-especially MIM (made in Michigan) amps! I love the speaker choice-good highs, great bottom. Eminence Legend 128.
koula901 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Woo Hoo! Congrats!!!! Can't wait to hear the clips. How many watts?
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Woo Hoo! Congrats!!!! Can't wait to hear the clips. How many watts? Yeah, that will be my next challenge, never posted a clip yet. But now that I have my Tascam 2488 neo I should be able to put some tracks on. Somewhere in the range of 15-18 watts I believe is what B told me. It has two channels, and a bright and normal for each channel. Plus a standby switch. Channel one is the dirtier channel. Channel two is fairly clean. There is also a normal and bright input for each channel. Another nice touch (thank you Brian) is a 6 foot power cord. That is mucho appreciated. I immediately tried it out with my SG standard, which pretty much sits in my living room most of the time. With the humbuckers, I could not turn the gain past 3. No crap, as Shundog affirmed, this baby is loud. The speaker that I chose is very pleasing to me. It has plenty of low end, while still retaining highs, and a sublte midrange. It is an Eminence Legend GB-128. British voiced with a smooth top end and 50w power handling.
DetroitBlues Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Nice amp, congrats. Now you have something to compare to the DRRI. Do a comparison of the clean channel on the DRRI to the Tweed Deluxe. There is only a difference of about 4 watts between the two. There are some differences, but after playing a few of them, the Tweed Deluxe should of been the amp I asked for. I can always pick up a reverb and tremolo pedal....
JeffB Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 looks great! nice work. Have fun with your new amp.
TalismanRich Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 For sure you need to get that Neo fired up and the KBP cranked up! 5E3s are great recording amps. Enjoy, Will.

Better than that, daisy chain the two of them, and play both at the same time! I daisy my 5E3 with most of my amps all the time, at gigs. Dee-lightful!!! Hit's a beauty, Will!
bolero Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 that is a fine looking amp, congratulations!!
H Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 That looks fantastic, Slammer, and I can confirm that a British-voiced speaker in a 5E3 sounds great - I have a Celestion G12H30 in mine What tubes do you have in V1 and V2? If they're both 12AX7s, you'll be able to keep the amp clean way past three if you swap out V1 to a 12AY7. A halfway house option would be a 5751 - that's what I have at present and it's clean until 5 or so. I'll send you some great info on the 5E3 controls, originally sent to me by fxdx99, which Schundog and Yoslate have also had the benefit of Good luck with the clips

Rather impractical for my practice room, but if I ever get a gig (still working on that little detail) I will give that a try.

I wonder, has anybody else on this forum done that preamp tube swap?
kbp810 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I most certainly have... but I personally preferred the higher gain sound of the 12ax7 so that is what I ended up with. A 5751 or 12AT7 would have been a close second for me
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Awww, Yaayuh! Thanks Mav-how many tube amps you up to now?
