Imagine you bought a Tweed back in 1955 because you wanted to learn Pedal Steel. Unfortunately, Pedal steel wasn't your thing so it went into a closet and sat waiting till 2025. This amp is exactly that, original tubes and caps, Jensen Speaker. Pristine. Well pretty close there are a few blemishes in the tweed cabinet and on the control plate but come on this bad boy is 70 years old.
Here's what the experts are saying:
This is the one everyone talks about. For many players the 5E3 is the holy grail. The circuit is different and runs at higher voltages than the other models giving it more headroom and total gain. It uses the 12AY7 and 12AX7 preamp tube but with a cathodyne phase inverter. The power stage is 2 6V6GT's.
Here are some famous tweed players:
Scotty Moore, Keith Richards, The Edge, Eric Clapton, Ronnie Wood, Joe Walsh, Joe Perry, Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Don Felder, Rich Robinson, Rory Gallagher, Steve Cropper, Pete Anderson, Mike Campbell, and many others!
The ability to purchase a fully functional 55 tweed amplifier in pristine condition is a fading opportunity This is truly a rare find.
