Brett | Re: Completed my 5E3x2 - now modding too Hi. I am about to get started on a 5E3 style project and wanted to ask you some questions about your modded design. I play mostly Jazz with a Big Jazz box (Gibson - Johnny Smith) - and want a clean sounding amp. I like the simplicity and portability of the 5E3 designs, with one tone control in a giggable amp and volume (thats all I need!). Sometimes I get bored with my Jazz stuff, and get my strat out to pretend I am stevie Ray Vaughn. So overdrive dirt would be a nice feature, but it isnt a requirement. So here are my basic questions: 1. Do you have some sound clips of your amp, both clean and dirty. 2. How clean is clean on your amp ? Some amps that are clean sound dirty anyway. I really want clean to be clean. I dont mind modding the amp to add a "dirt" bypass switch if necessary. 3. Have you measured your power output - how many watts are you pumping out. 4. Do you have a schematic of your amp ? 5. What kind of speaker are you using ? 6. What is the deal with the "backwards" volume pot wiring ? and what is the tone stack mod you are referring to? Feel free to email me directly. Brett |
