FRENZEL FM - 5F8STR "Super Twin Reverb"

A lot of old timer's  say that the Fender Twin Reverb was the best amp ever built. We started there and added a few new tricks to it to produce 100 watts of pure audio dynamite!

FRENZEL FM-5F8STR "Super Twin Reverb"

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
