5E3 in a PR Chassis
« on: March 28, 2016, 08:31:10 pm »
Just finishing this up for a guy who wanted a 5E3 in a PR Chassis.  I have a few things to check over but she is ready to go for the most part.  Kinda fun project...

The Lasso binds both inputs together...

I have stopped being surprised at the guitar player who spends $3,000 on the latest boutique amplifier, and plugs in his Mexican Stratocaster strung with light gauge strings through a Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal.

Mehr Licht !

Thanks a lot.

I ended up changing some values on the line out and adding a bleeder 220K to the 1st FC too.  Dead quiet as well which is always a good thing on a 5E3...

Superbly executed, very nice.

I think you just inspired me to get off my a** and convert my dead SS Fender Deluxe 90 to an amp instead of a doorstop. Slam a Hoffman 5E3 board in there just like you did. New or used iron.



That's one o' them recent Fenders with the slanted chassis. It's obviously a lot easier to mangle something like that into a 5E3 Deluxe versus a BF Princeton Reverb.


Really nicely done!

Excellent!  One thing that will be nice is all the room in the chassis to work with...  We want pictures  :icon_biggrin:

Sounds great and 'for an iphone video' the sound is pretty great too.  My Camera has an external boom mic and it always clips so I have to record separate guitar audio.

Yet another outstanding build.
