The
FRENZEL FM - 5E3 "Deluxe Plus" amp was "INSPIRED" by the classic Deluxe 5E3...but it
is a much more than a clone. It has more power with 6L6's in place of the original 6V6's in the output......plus a lot
more features....including Type F and Type M inputs. This amp will produce tones you have never heard before! Think
of it as a 5E3 on steroids! See features list below. PLEASE
NOTE....WE HAVE ADDED SOME NEW FEATURES ......INCLUDING THE CLASSIC HAMMOND HI-FI OUTPUT TRANSFORMER as a standard
feature for extended low frequency performance..... and with 4 - 8 - 16 ohm speaker outputs selectable by a rotary switch.
FEATURES:
Input
Jacks isolated from chassis for low noise, eddy currents, and hum.
DC
on filaments for low 60 hz hum.
Star
ground system to reduce induced current chassis noise.
Type F
(Fender) and Type M (Marshall) inputs with separate preamps and Gain controls for the unique smooth Fender 5F6
warm tones or the Marshall Plexi SLP great high mid tones....or you can use an AB-Y switch and create your own distinct
tones.
Classic
60's JTM45 - Bassman 5F6 style 3-BAND TONE STACK for extended flexibility in shaping your tone.
MASTER
level control so you can crank the GAIN's up and overdrive the preamp without overdriving the output tubes.
Classic
Type 5F6 Style Presence control .
Unique
NNFB "Edge" switch on the PRESENCE control that transforms the power amp section into a No-Negative-FeedBack style amp for
more open, less compressed tones.
Post output
transformer LINE OUT with LINE OUT LEVEL control for driving a higher power amp, or for using this amp as a tube preamp/overdrive.
Auto switching internal load if speaker is not connected to give you loaded output distortion. NOTE: Also great
for using headphones!
Class
AB fixed biased 6L6's in the output in place of the original Deluxe cathode biased 6V6's to give you more power and headroom.

EL34 tubes in the output stage without adjusting anything.
