“Tweed Era,” typically refers to those amps designed and produced by Fender between the years of 1948 and 1960, with the first amp covered in the “tweed” material being the Dual Professional in 1948. The Tweed Era also ushered in the use of the Wide Panel front design as well as finger-jointed cabinets.
Fender tweed is a generic name used for the guitar amplifiers made by the American company Fender between 1948 and 1960. The amplifiers are named for the cloth covering, which consists of varnished cotton twill, incorrectly called tweed because of its feel and appearance. They are praised for their sound, their circuitry being considered "hallowed ground".[1] Fender generally stopped using the twill covering in 1960, exceptions being the Harvard which continued to be covered in twill until 1963, and the Champ until 1964.
In 1953, Fender introduced the "wide panel" construction,[2] where the top and bottom panels are wider than the side panels. In the later "narrow panels", introduced in 1955,[2] all panels have approximately the same size. Later amplifiers used tolex for the covering.
Beginning in 1990, Fender began to utilize the tweed covering once again, starting with the '59 Bassman Reissue.[3] Some later amplifier models came in the split option of tweed or black tolex covering, including the Blues Junior[4] and Pro Junior.[5] The Fender Blues Deluxe and Blues DeVille and their later reissues were also available in tweed,[6] as well as the Custom Shop reissues of several of the Tweed Era amplifiers.
In 2012, Fender introduced its first "Signature series"; Eric Clapton helped design the "EC" series of three amplifiers, including the Vibro-Champ, based on the five-watt amplifier "allegedly" used for the recording of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.[1]
5E3' was Fender's internal model designation for the 1957 tweed Deluxe. The February 1957 Fender price list shows the Deluxe at $129.50 which is equal to $1,145 in 2017 inflation adjusted dollars
There were several other models of the 'Deluxe' but the 5E3 is by far the most popular. The 5E3 amp kit phenomenon is still going strong so there's lots of new tube amp guitarists that would like a not-too-technical explanation of how the amp works, what each component does, and how changing those components will affect the amp's voice.
I recommend you take a look at my How Tube Amps Work and How Vacuum Tubes Work webpages for a detailed explanation how vacuum tubes work in the very simple Fender 5F1 Champ guitar amp. I won't be going over tube theory and other introductory material here so check it out if you have trouble understanding this webpage. For information on the evolution of the Fender Deluxe and Deluxe Reverb circuit see this. If you like to mod your amps check out my 5E3 Modifications webpage. I also have a page dedicated to the magical 5F6-A Bassman amp.

Hello, yes I’m working on a next video, I’ll be taking it out with a few friends and do some testing.
Здравствуйте 😊😊
Интересная у вас конечно конструкция 😊😊
Я такую раньше не видел. Я ✍️ Ся,вы?
I build amps too and I find that 12AU7 does give you lower volume and less gain but it loses something tone wise. Also, a deluxe has two channels so you have a volume for each and a shared tone. The two channels are interactive so you use the two channels in conjunction because the volumes affect the volume tone and gain of one channel even though you are plugged in the other. You can even jumper the channels to get more crunch. It is a unique design that you basically tweak all three knobs and get a nice rhythm tone, to clean up you turn the guitar volume knob down, to get lead tone use an overdrive.
Your absolutely correct in terms of tone, when I swapped to a 12AU7 I noticed it loses “something” in tone.
You can try to bias the 12ax7 to pass less volume it works but I never tried it on a 5E3. What you do is increase the size of the cathode resistor and if you have a bypass cap you can remove that . Another tweak you can use is to change the size of the coupling capacitors. A larger size allows more bass to pass through and a smaller size only allows the treble to pass.
I have never built a kid I buy old vintage tube equipment like reel to reel tape recorders or record player amplifiers PA amplifiers and I modify them to guitar use that's the cheapest way to me. That way you may only have to remove or change a few components like filter caps and change the input
