Carl's Custom Amps Double Tweed Deluxe 30W 2x12 Combo 2015 - Lacquered Tweed

Carls Custom Amps 5E3 Double Tweed Deluxe 30W 2x12 Combo

Excellent + condition. Slight oxidation and minor scratches on the chassis faceplate, otherwise MINT. See photos. Amp has lived its entire life in my smoke free home studio space. 

This is a rare one, being the 30W 2x12 big brother to Carl's 15 W 1x12 Tweed Deluxe version.

Being a 30W amp, it has more clean headroom than the standard 15W version.  If you have been looking for a Tweed Deluxe with higher power and more clean headroom, this is the one!

 Has the Optional Bass Reduction switch.

 From Carl's website:

 The 5E3 Tweed Double Deluxe is one of the most revered small tube amps of all time. The CPC 15T X 2 is the classic 5E3 circuit on steroids! It is 30 watts with four 6V6's in a 2X12 Combo. Man does it pack a punch! The perfect club amp or amp for someone who just needs more 5E3 tone! 

The 5E3 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's so popular!!  This version doubles the output power with four 6V6s and two 12" speakers!  

This amp is built with the best parts and will blow away reissues . It will stand toe to toe with the original tone-wise yet be more reliable and have less floor noise. Don't confuse these with the kits people have built or even many boutique builds.   Thought, knowledge, and years of experience go into selecting parts and building my 5E3s.

See link to Demo. The Demo is of the 15W version but the two amps sound very similar with the 30 Watt version being louder with more punch. There is a second demo by the same player using humbucker guitars with this amp on YT.
