  • My shiny new 5e3 setup.

    So this is the first amp i've ever built, i'd like to think that i will build another one day, but for now this is the end all do all for me.
    It's one of mission amps 5e3 full kits. Right now i just have one of my gibson les pauls with me at school (im thinking about going and getting my tele or strat from my parents house.) running into a zvex box of rock (zack knows how to make some nice pedals) and then straight into the 5e3. I 've put a patch cable in between the normal and bright inputs to get somewhat of a marshall setup out of it. with the box of rock, it breaks up just like a vintage mk2 with greenbacks. awesome stuff. Youtube videos soon to come.

    Nice! I just ordered one today from Bruce. The Deluxe is on my "must-builds" list from the Fender side of amps. I also ordered the tone/volume mod, but I probably won't put that in till later.

    What speaker did you end up going with out of curiousity?
    I plan on running a Red Fang in mine.

      I ended up putting the Jensen C12Q that bruce suggests to go with the kit, I was going to go for a P12Q because I fell in love with this amp after hearing a victoria 20112, which is essentially an overpriced 5e3 with a p12q.
      You can look at one of the other threads that I posted explaining all of the problems I went through building this amp, as it was my first amp i've ever built. Might help you from making the same mistakes.

        I have a few amps under my belt at this point (with the associated mistakes that go along with them). I will definitely hunt down your posts on the Deluxe though!
