New Deluxe 5E3 Tweddle Dee build

Sounds really good I think.
Have you played it with a band, or gigged it?
How's volume level? Keep up with a firm handed drummer?
Love to hear the strat, single coils.
Thanks, nice work.

Sounds great!

Thanks! I rehearsed with it for 3 hours, but did not put it through its paces. Will probably gig it over the holidays. It Ran flawless with no issues. A really need to make a cabinet for it. Cannot decide if I want it in a combo cab or not. With that low end and volume , I find with my current 5E3 , I knock the inside of the Tubes loosen in V1 and V2. Also. It seems to keep up with our drummer , but he is not heavy handed. If I can get it together, I set up a couple of room Mics for rehearsal next week.

For those Fender players, here is one more comparison using a Strat.

Yep, that's working!
Hey thanks Del, I appreciate the Strat walk-thru.
Sounds real good man,thank you.

No problem. I think I was pushing the volume a little too hard on that. I know that if you're running the Volume between five and six instead of eight and nine, and put the microphone a little bit closer so it's not picking up so much room noise you get the full feel of the tone that the stratocaster has. I try to do these snippets using the Sennheiser mic because it is pretty neutral sounding. Doing a recording just using the microphone on the iPhone is a disaster Maybe I'll put together one going through my board with a little bit of reverb and lower volume so I can really control the gain. I know that playing live your ears trick you a lot, But that's really what you're hearing the amp can do. I wish I had a telecaster I could try the only thing I have left is an ES 330 ! Thanks to all for the comments and thanks for watching

Really digging that with the strat. I might have to do some surgery on my 5E3

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing this!!!
