I guess it fits the 5E3 chassis

With at least 7 knobs and 1 switch on the panel plus input an a pilot lamp and power switch it's a long faceplate.

I'm using 8 pots (fatness on front) 2 mini switches  foot switch and had to do careful measuring to get it to fit into a 19" wide chassis.

If I had it available I would have put it in a Super Reverb style chassis at 24" just to keep things less cluttered.

I agree that it would be a very tight fit with a 5E3 chassis.

But it would probably fit in a "blank" 18 watt chassis (20" x 6" x 2.5") that you punched out yourself.  IF I were attempting that, I'd use 1M mini-pots for the clean and OD tone stacks and I would plan on using a 50k internal trim pot.

It would be input, volume, clean tone (mini-pot), level, drive, OD tone (mini-pot), mini-toggle,  clean mstr vol, &  PPIMV.

It would be tough adding relay switching in a small chassis so you might be stuck with a mini-toggle DPDT.

I think the amp is well suited for a head cab.

With respect, Tubenit
