The
FRENZEL FM - 5E3 SDP "Super Deluxe Plus" is the newest version of our classic
open chassis FRENZEL FM - 5E3 "Deluxe Plus" which has rave reviews from all over the world.
At the request of a lot of players we have incorporated the most popular options from the "Deluxe Plus" which
include the Hammond Hi-Fi output trannie, the Effects Loop, and the Cathode/Fixed bias selector switch.....plus we have also increased the power to 40 watts! (A
lower 25 power version still available if you do not need the extra power) Like
the "Deluxe Plus" the "Super Deluxe Plus" 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.
FEATURES:
Input Jacks
isolated from chassis for low noise, eddy currents, and hum.
Laser Etched Faceplate
Classic Chicken Head Knobs, Toggle
Switches and Jewel Pilot Light
Chassis Dimensions - 17" x 10"
x 2"
Weight: 15 lbs.
DC on filaments for
low 60 hz hum.
Star ground
system to reduce induced current chassis noise.
Normal (Type
F) Bright (Type M) 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
5F6A 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.
Classic 6L6's
in the output in place of the original Deluxe 6V6's to give you more power and headroom. The bias is optimized using
FRENZEL Multi-Valve design which allows you to use octal based 6L6, 5881, KT66, KT88, 6550, or EL34 tubes in the
output stage without adjusting anything.
Preamp and
driver tubes are 12AX7 EH's known for low noise and linearity. You may also use 12AT7's or 12AU7's for different
tones and overdrive.
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. )
Dual Speaker Jacks
A Classic Hammond Hi-Fi output
transformer for extended low frequency performance with 4 - 8 - 16 ohm outputs selectable by a rotary switch.
Cathode / Fixed Bias Selector
Switch - Allows you to choose cathode bias for the classic "compressed blues" sound, or fixed bias for "dynamic
rock" sounds.
Power Output:
40 watts RMS (25 Watt version also available)
5U4 rectifier,
you can sub 5Y3, 5AR4, or Solid State Plug in for different amounts of sag.
Extra long
(10') three prong grounded power cord.
STANDBY switch
to turn off the plate voltage during warm-up.
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:
The amp comes with 3 - 12AX7, 2 - 6L6, 1 - 5U4, but you can substitute 12AT7's or 12AU7's in the preamp and driver
for different tones and overdrive sounds. You can also substitute 5881's, KT66's, KT88's, 6550's, or EL34's in the output
stage for different sounds.
