Tweed Brownies

Ahh the next in a series of catch-up posts on amp building.  This build was a custom request for a pretty standard build: a clone of the venerable old Fender 5E3 Deluxe.  This style amp is one of a few Fender tweed amps that are known for making up Neil Young’s signature sound, as well as the sounds on countless other classic recordings.  No real tweaks here, just the standard issue 15 watt 5E3 is all its beautiful, crunchy glory.  The amp has very simple bright and normal inputs, bright and normal volume controls and a master control.  Sprague caps and Kamaya carbon composition resistors were used throughout.  The speaker is a Weber 12A125A Alnico 12″.
