Hey Fender pros ?
« on: August 04, 2014, 05:30:34 pm »
So many different model numbers by fender, which is the closest to a brown face deluxe ?
 I am also looking to incorporate a reverb circuit on to e 5E3

I love the way this circuit sounds with the post phase. not sure if its the PI or what but a tweed deluxe with a PPIMV sounds beautiful.  very very brown

thank you kind sirs

The models that start with '5' are tweed amps, the models that start with '6' are the brown amps. AB763 models are the black face Fender amps.

The brown face Pros have a LTPI like a brown deluxe but they have the big vibrato/trem circuit. The brown Deluxe has a single triode trem.

The brown Deluxe has the tweed deluxe pre amp but with a tone control on each channel. The brown Pro has a tone stack in the pre amp.

I think he wasn't referring to the Fender Pro Model amp but was asking do we have any Fender Pro's experience-wise with just a good knowledge of Fender amps in general. At least I think :w2: Platefire
On the right track now<><

Like they said 6G3 is a Fender brown face Deluxe. Look in Doug's library of schematics;

The schematics library file names that have the word deluxe in them is a good place to start
