The FRENZEL JF - 5A3 Retro Deluxe is an amp ....that a lot of you have been asking for...it is  a "vintage oldie" using the classic 6SL7's  for preamps!  The design for the amp was inspired by the Classic 1949 Fender 5A3 Deluxe......but it is much more than that. The JF- 5A3 will give you the great mellow jazz and blues sounds that the Fender amps were famous for in the late 40's. A full list of the features is shown below.

FEATURES:

Input Jack 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.

Warm smooth tones of the vintage 6SL7 preamp and driver tubes. You can also use a 6SN7 for different tones and overdrive.

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 FENDER OUTPUT TRANSFORMER - for those real vintage blues 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 A cathode biased 6V6's for the true vintage tones.

Power Output:  15 watts

5Y3 rectifier for the vintage sag....but you can use 5U4 ,5AR4, or Solid-State Plug-In  if you like the sound tighter.

Extra long (10') three prong grounded power cord.

Classic knobs and open style chassis.

STANDBY switch to turn off the plate voltage during warm-up.

Compact 12" x 8"  x 8" size. Uses a  lightweight non-magnetic aluminum chassis.

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!
