Fender Deluxe vs Grand Deluxe. 5E3 Tweed amp comparison.
Comparing the classic Fender Deluxe 5E3 Tweed amp with a more affordable alternative: the Grand Tweed 5E3. The Fender comes with premium modifications like Mojotone transformers and an Eminence Cannabis Rex speaker, while the Grand Tweed has a Celestion Blue, providing a classic 5E3 flavor at a fraction of the price. I’ll be testing both amps with identical settings on a Stratocaster and an Gibson ES-335 to see if the Grand Tweed can deliver that legendary Fender tone without the high price tag. Is it worth the extra investment, or does the clone hold its own? Let’s dive into the details and find out!

Blackface Princetone Reverb '64 - from Piggyback head to combo cabinet. Any difference in tone?
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Месяц назад
When taking my amp out of the house, I wanted to bring one unit instead of two (amp and cabinet), so I got a new combo cabinet for my '64 blackface Princeton Reverb amp. I love the head cabinet with its blonde tolex, but it's a hassle to bring the separate units to rehearsals or gigs. I did a tone comparison, because I wondered if there would be a difference in the tone, from this amp modificat...
