  DIY Build or Rebuild Kit for a Tweed Deluxe 5E3 Amplifier. A truly classic amplifier heard on countless recordings from the 50's & 60's. Great for Blues, Country, Jazz, and even Classic Rock! A cathode biased pair of 6V6's create a fat and earthy tone that sounds best when pushed hard. Approximately 12-15W output makes this a perfect amplifier for the studio, or small gigging situations. Just like the original, this amp has 2 channels, with 2 inputs per channel, each with a volume control and one shared tone control. Though the controls are minimalistic, the true beauty of this circuit comes from the interaction of the volume controls. The kit includes a High Quality, Hand Made in USA Turret Board, Sprague Orange Drop or Mallory 150 Series Coupling Caps, Sprague Atom USA Power Supply/Filter Capacitors, High Quality Carbon Composition Resistors, Alpha Potentiometers, Chicken Head Knobs, Belton Sockets, Switchcraft Jacks, Fuse Holder, 2 Switches, Pilot Lamp Holder & Jewel, Power Cord. Made in USA paper layer wound output transformer has outputs for 4, 8, ohms & 16 ohms. For Power Transformer, you can choose between the US18021, USA18016. The USA18021 is a standard Tweed Deluxe style PT, with a 710V CT HV winding. The USA18016(120V) has a lower HV winding at 660V CT, increased current capability on all windings, which allows you to use different rectifier tube types, add additional tube stages, or upgrade your amplifier to use 6L6's! Using the USA18021 power transformer with the higher 710V winding will give the amplifier more headroom and crisper treble response. Using the USA18016 power transformer with the lower voltage 660V winding will give the amplifier less headroom (breaks up earlier), and a smoother treble response. Tear the guts out of that solid state combo and build this inside. You can also order without transformers. Great for DIY Builds. All you need is the Chassis, Cabinet, & Speaker!! Warm up that soldering Iron!!! Also includes Layout & Wiring Diagrams for our transformers. If you purchase this kit "With Tubes" you will choose either the Standard Tubeset: JJ 6V6 Matched Pair, JJ ECC83/12ax7, JJ 12AY7 x 1, & JJ 5Y3 x 1 OR the Premium Tubeset: Tungsol 6V6 Matched Pair, Tungsol 12AX7 x 1, ElectroHarmonix 12AY7 x 1, & Sovtek 5Y3 x 1.
