FRENZEL JF-5F8 "Super Twin Plus"
FRENZEL JF-5F8 "Super Twin Plus"

The FRENZEL JF -  5F8 STP "Super Twin Plus" design was "INSPIRED" by the classic  Fender 5F8 Twin.....but it has a lot more features. This amp is 100 watts of audio dynamite....

  

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.

 

Classic 60's style insertion type Serial Effects Loop with Return Jack (Power Amp In), Send Jack (Preamp Out), and  Send Level Control. 

 

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....but you can sub 6L6's, 5881's, KT66's, KT77's or KT88's  for different  saturation distortion and clean  tones.

 

Power Output @ 4 or 8 or 16 ohm 100 watts

 

Dual 5U4 rectifiers  for optimum pick attack and sag.

 

Primary Power Transformer Fuse

 

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!
