FRENZEL FM - 5E3 SD "Super Deluxe"
The
FRENZEL FM-5E3 SD "Super Deluxe"
is the upgraded version of our classic open chassis "Deluxe Plus III" which
has rave reviews from all over the world. At the request of a lot of our customers we have incorporated the most popular
options from the "Deluxe Plus III" which include 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 III" the "Super Deluxe" was "INSPIRED" by the classic 50's Fender Deluxe 5E3...but it is a much
more than a clone. We added a Marshall JTM45 channel and replaced the 6V6's with 6L6's for more headroom and
power. The voice is controlled by a three band tone stack accentuated by a Bassman 5F6 style Presence control with an
added custom "Edge" switch to remove the negative feedback which gives you dynamic soaring rock tones and sustain.
We also added a Master control which allows you to control and shape the preamp and output stage overdrive tones. The
F and M channels have separate input jacks and gain controls which allows you to use an AB/Y switch to select one
channel for clean and one for boost...or blend them together for unique tones. When playing clean, this amp will faithfully
reproduce what you put into it ...and when you stomp on it, it will produce tones you have never heard before! It works
great with guitar, mandolin, bass, organ, piano, harp and strings. Think of it as a 5E3 on steroids! See features list below.
