Description
The Octal Tweed Deluxe is my version of early 5B3 Tweed Deluxe circuit that used octal pre-amp tubes. While not as well-known as the later 5E3 Deluxe Octal Deluxe is an awesome amp! At 15W it’s perfect for many of today smaller gigs and recording. The octal pre-amp is grid-leak biased and it uses a para-phase phase inverter which imparts incredibly fat and responsive overdrive. The cleans are especially rich. Thick swampy and rich are the adjectives that come to mind! This amp works especially well with both single coils PAF type humbuckers.
Options: A Body Control can be added in place of the standby. This allows you to get Champ type sounds and reduce the power to about 5W.
Each one is carefully and meticulously built and tested. 90 Day warranty on tubes and 2 years on everything else. Working chassis do not carry a warranty.

“Prompt shipment. Fantastic product, versatile with many kinds of gain. Great tone and sustain”

"Just got the amp today and I have to say it's easily the best amp I've ever played. I've had vox ac15s, Marshall jtm 45s, and various other vintage tube amps and this just blows them all out of the water both in terms of sound and construction. When I plugged this one in, it just felt right. It was even better than the 1950 tweed deluxe I played in a local music shop. I didn't have to adjust anything!I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing amp
