here it is the FRENZEL FM - 5E3C "Deluxe Plus Combo"! This amp was "INSPIRED" by the classic Deluxe
5E3...but it is a much more than a clone. It has more power with 6L6's in place of the original 6V6's in the output......plus
a lot more features....including Type F and Type M inputs. This amp will produce tones you have never heard before!
Think of it as a 5E3 on steroids.

noise, eddy currents, and hum.

chassis noise.
