This is a 1955 Tweed Princeton 5E2 circuit modded for 20 Watts with a 12" speaker and extra deep cabinet. A Class A power section with an oversized output transformer and a 6550 po wer tube outputs 20 watts. The 6550 isn't a common power tube for tweed-style amps but we love it in this circuitry, with its glassier, harder sound giving this amp a kind of tweed meets blackface vibe. The 12" speaker and extra deep cabinet sound great with this amp and really make it come alive, giving it a fuller, more resonant sound than the standard 8" speaker and cabinet. The cabinet was designed to perfectly fit our Tweed 1963 Tube Reverb clone on top. The 5E2 circuit features a choke and overdrives more smoothly than the more common 5F2-A circuit, which has no choke. Registration InformationLicense Show more
