Hi, I'm a new member here.  Here's some pics of my new 5E3 build. Got any pointers on mods or tweaks?       Last edited by blueboxer; 04-15-2009 at 11:14 PM. |

| Very nice looking build
Congratulations. I'm considering a 5E3 build myself. Did you source those parts separately or from a kit? Is that a Weber TV front?

Great job! Wiring looks well thought-out, and the cab/chassis are lovely. The TV front tweed cab looks cool. |

Nice job. Where did you get the Fender badge and the Tube Chart? |

Fender takes a dim view of people putting their trademarked name on anything they didn't make.

It can be an issue, even with "reproduction of" written there. That's why you don't find suppliers out there selling Fender logos or face plates with logos. But, you'll be fine as long as you don't try to sell it publicly and appear to be passing it off as a Fender.

I plan on keeping this amp as I've wanted one for a very, very long time! It should also be noted that I have never once in this thread referred to this amplifier as a F*nd*r product. It is a replica/ tribute if you will. | |

Nice job. I have a wiring question on the wiring to the standby switch. Does B+, compared to no stand by switch, go to the stand by switch, from the board to the switch and then the other terminal on the switch to the socket where B= would go normally? Or is there some other way? The reason I ask, is that I built a 5e3 and it works fine. But when I throw it in standby from on, it hisses, like the tube vents or something. And none of my other Fender amps do such a thing. |
