Updated my 5E3 set-up: now it's great for home play

Hi,

 

I recently, had Peter Mather (Mather Cabinets) make we a new, deeper than normal (10.5") combo cab for my Lil' Dawg D-Lux (5E3). I also had Josh (Atlas Stands) make me a folding stand for it that will hold my attenuator beneath the amp. This allows me much more home use (attenuator is between the amp out and my speaker). It really is great set up for amps with top facing controls. It is a great little set up for all you 5E3 users who want to play at home. You can get tuneful deluxe sound without the blasting your ears out. Both Peter and Josh are master craftsman. I recommend each w/o reservation.

Purdy nice. So the attenuater lets you get all the gain and benefits of the amp at a bedroom volume level?

Posted

Yeah, pretty much....not at whisper volumes, but at very reasonable volumes I can get it to sing real good.

GREAT set up!!

 

Why the deeper cab? Gorgeous...

 

Yeah, normal cabs are 9-12" deep. Mine is 10-1/2" which helps the bass a bit.

Yes, it folds up flat and has a built in leather strap and some snaps to keep it closed. It weighs about 11-12 lb. (walnut). Here is a similar one without the attenuator holder for my Redplate.

I also find by getting the amp up off the ground it helps with reducing bass coupling. I now have stands from Atlas for all three of my amps

Both the Li'l Dawg and the Redplate were built custom and purchased directly from their makers (Jim and Henry). The AI was purchased from Michael at Sound Island Music.

Two fantastic amp builders those two are. Would be fascinating to see the rest of what is in that music store if the stand is any indication...Those are pieces of art on their own even before being switched on.
