Tungsten Crema Wheat in Laquered Twed.

You can read about and hear the amp elsewhere.  It's an amazing amp that takes the 5E3 tweed deluxe circuit to a higher and more usable level, a great rock and roll gigging amp.

This amp comes with just purchased NOS 5U4GB and modern Tungsol 6V6's tubes. This is considered a great tube set for the CW, and Tungsten has been known to occasionally ship them out like this for Xmas.   I can also include the JJ GZ34/EH 6V6's which usually come with the amp  (the GZ34 should not be used with the Tungsol). The 5U4GB/Tungsol is much more textured in sound...sweeter, better!!

The amp in excellent condition - I'd say 9 out of 10 because of the tiny indent in the front (see photo) that is barely noticeable.

And choose from either a Scumback M75 or Hellatone 30 (Variac'd Celestion G12H30 ) 112 speaker.  I prefer the Celestion in this amp.

For sweet and warm overdrive, and classic breakup the standard M75 is great.  This is the model heard in Greg V's classic youtube demo of the Crema Wheat. It has a little eq rolloff on the high and low end.  The speaker is in excellent condition and originally came with the amp.

For playing with a louder band, more headroom, creamy breakup, and a fuller range eq the G12H30 is the one.  Greg V (and myself) personally prefer this speaker. The "Hellatone 30" is a Celestion GH1230 (w/ a Hellatone label on top applied by Avatar) that has been Variac'd to be broken in.  This speaker has been around a bit (all the better, really) . Broken-in Celestion is best - with a new G12H30 there is a mid-spike until the speaker is broken in, and apparently the Crema Wheat will not on it's own break in a new Gh1230 for a very long time.
