Description

No embellishment needed—the 5E3 Deluxe simply features a perfectly executed design, making it one of the most memorable circuits in amplifier history. Over years of use, this Tweed powerhouse has developed a beautiful amber hue on the lacquer, which strangely often coincides with exceptional sound quality. The amp has been serviced with a replaced power cord and electrolytic caps. Some Astron coupling caps have been replaced with 1960s vintage equivalents, which judging by the sound was likely an upgrade. All of the original carbon comp resistors are still intact. The handle and hardware have also been replaced. Great vibe, great tone, and a very fair price compared to what they've sold for in years past!

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
