5E3 with Power Amp

3/24/2006 9:09 PM
SCRAP KING	5E3 with Power Amp I wondered if anyone had tried running the 5E3 signal through an uncolored power amp to drive a 2"x12"? As much as I LOVE the tone I get, one big bass rig ruins my day. I was thinking that by using a power amp, it would be a "5E3 on steroids" but not a Fender twin.

Allen	take a looky here: http://www.diyguitarist.com/GuitarAmps/LineOutBox.htm I've seen guys in clubs run their deluxe into something like a twin which is just functioning as a power amp. just make sure that there's nothing solid state in the signal chain!!! We won't stand for that!!!

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor

Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self.

Todd	I built something like that to use with my tweed Champ. Basically I copied the design from the Garnet Herzog, which is a slightly-modded Champ with an adjustable line-out added. Easy to build, works great and fits into a tiny case for hidden usage.
