  • First time build 5E3

    This was a combined effort between my son-in-law and myself.

    I visited them in the UK during September 2008, and he warned me beforehand that he has a little "project" for us.

    We built a 5E3 from scratch. The chassis, cab and speaker was from a lil' SS Marshall donor-amp. Chassis was hand-drilled & filed to fit the tube layout.
    It took us just over a week to get from blank to clank.

    For me it was a first into the magic world of high voltages and goodies in glass. I'd built a few silicon-based "devices" before, but not valves-stuff.

    We used the Fender layout, with a few custom-fit components on a tag board. In the end the results were just beyond our expectations.
    Charlie did some refitting of the tone cap and input jacks and a decent speaker afterwards, and reports the amp quiet and loud with a sweet tone. Quiet: no buzz or squeaks/pops etc. Loud: She sings with gusto!

    We also had a bit of help from an electronics boffin-to-be!

    Here are a few pics of the project:

    Good for you both/all (and great to have upcoming techs in the family).

      Cool looking amp! Looks like it was so loud it made you wet your pants.
