HANDWIRED TWEED DELUXE IN GREY TWEED TV FRONT CABINET WHICH WAS BUILT BY A PROFESSIONAL CABINET MAKER IN WALES. THE AMP IS BUILT FROM TOP QUALITY COMPONENTS SUPPLIED BY TAD, MOJOTONE AND MODULUS AMPS. THE SPEAKER IS A HARMA BRIGHT SAPPHIRE BUILT BY TAYDEN IN THE UK. THIS IS WHAT WATFORD VALVES SAY ABOUT THE BRIGHT SAPPHIRE...

The Harma G12 Bright Sapphire 50M 12 inch guitar speaker is an American voiced guitar speaker from The Harma speaker Gem American series. These speakers are Handmade in England and utilise traditional craftsmanship fused with modern day technology. These speakers have been designed after extensive research to specifically meet the demands of guitarists who want to create their own signature sound. The Harma G12 Bright Sapphire bridges the gap in the market for vintage tone and modern day definition that is left by the larger manufactures.

This is ideal in any amplifier that requires a punchy American voiced speaker as it combines the crunchy open top end clarity of an Original 1960's Jensen with a tighter British low end. The midrange has been designed to provide a warm smooth clean sound and more even breakup when compared to the main competition. It is in the upper mids and top end response that sets this speaker apart from all the others as top end is fantastically open with plenty of detail and aggression on solos. The careful selection of components means that this speaker has all the top end characteristics without the hard harsh peaks.

The result is speaker that will make any Fender or American voiced amplifier have enough clarity for you chords to sparkle and the right amount of fat crunchy sustain to make your lead sound sing with vintage harmonic warmth. This is an upgrade to any American amplifier and will replace Original and reissue Jensen C12Q, C12N, CTS, Fender, Eminence and Vintage Oxfords....

I THINK IT SUITS THE AMP EXTREMELY WELL WITH TIGHT BASS, SMOOTH MIDS AND BRIGHT TOP END. THE AMP (BUILT BY MYSELF) IS THE ORIGINAL 5E3 CIRCUIT. I HAVE ADDED ROB ROBINETTES FEEDBACK SWITCH MOD...(SEE LAST TWO PHOTOS)....THIS IS FROM HIS SITE...

This relatively easy 3-way feedback switch mod allows three distinct flavors of amplifier:

1. Feedback with no cathode bypass capacitor - lowest gain with tight lows, sharp transition to distortion, less noise and hiss and extra headroom for a very clean and civilized tone. This really transforms the amp and makes it much more versatile.

2. No feedback but with no V2A cathode bypass capacitor - moderate gain and civility--a nice compromise tone. This position reduces V2A's (2nd preamp) gain which shifts the 5E3's distortion balance so you'll get less preamp and phase inverter distortion but more power tube distortion at the same volume. If you do this mod you owe it to yourself to play around with this setting, it's pretty cool. This setting is also great with boost and distortion pedals.

3. Normal 5E3 configuration with no feedback and the cathode bypass capacitor in circuit - highest gain and maximum early breakup tweediness.

THIS MOD MAKES THE AMP MORE VERSATILE GIVING IT MORE HEADROOM SO HIGHER VOLUME CLEANS CAN BE OBTAINED. THE ADDED NEGATIVE FEEDBACK DECREASES THE GAIN OF THE AMP, INCREASING HEADROOM, FLATTENING FREQUENCY RESPONSE AND INCREASING BANDWIDTH. NFB ALSO MAKES THE AMP MORE PEDAL FRIENDLY. ROBS “5E3 MODS” SECTION ONLINE GIVES THE COMPLETE DETAILS OF THIS MOD.

I HOPE THE PHOTOS TELL THE STORY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS (MOB 07584326440) AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM. SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR OTHER AMPS I HAVE BUILT AND SOLD. I CAN ARRANGE A COURIER AND WILL PACK THE AMP CAREFULLY. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
