The FRENZEL FM
- 5F8STR Super Twin Reverb" design was "INSPIRED" by the classic Fender 5F8 Twin.....but it
has a lot more features. This amp is 100 watts of audio dynamite....gig ready!
FEATURES:
Input Jacks
isolated from chassis for low noise, eddy currents, and hum.
DC on preamp and driver filaments
for low noise and hum.
Star ground
system to reduce induced current chassis noise.
Normal and
Bright inputs with separate Gain controls for the unique smooth warm tones of the Fender Twin or the
great high mid tones of the Marshall SLP Plexi....or you can use an AB-Y switch and create your own distinct tones.
Classic 60's
Twin 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 Twin
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.
Reverb - Classic tube driven long tank reverb for those
great blues tones!
Classic
60's style insertion type Serial Effects Loop with Return Jack (Power Amp In), Send Jack (Preamp Out), and Send Level
Control. (Please note this is not for pedals. Pedals are designed for use on the inputs of amps.They are the wrong impedance
and do not have the proper output voltage for driving a serial insertion type of effects loop. )
Class AB
fixed biased Quad of EL34's in the output in place of the original 6L6's to give you that smooth blues sound plus more
headroom.
Power Output
@ 4 or 8 or 16 ohm 100 watts
Dual 5U4
rectifiers for optimum pick attack and sag.
Extra long
(10') three prong grounded power cord.
Classic toggle
switches with a STANDBY switch to turn off the high voltage during warm-up to protect the tubes.
Vintage jewel
pilot lamp.
Rock
solid point-to-point hand wiring using only the best of parts...low noise tubular polypropylenes
caps, metal film resistors, ceramic sockets, switchcraft jacks...etc.
Sweet vintage
clean to classic overdrive tones with three different types of distortion depending on whether you are overdriving the preamp,
output... or both!
Tube compliment:
3 - 12AX7, 4 - EL34, 2 - 5U4
