Clark Amplification 5E3 Tweed Deluxe Amp

Clark Amplification 5E3 Tweed Deluxe Amp

Superb as new condition

Made in USA

Clark 1x12 boutique tube combo amplifier in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This finely crafted version of Fender's famed 5E3 Tweed Deluxe is true to the original circuit down to the smallest details.

And this isn't your ordinary, run of the mill 5E3 copy. No expense was spared in attention to detail and component quality, and the Clark Tweed captures the nuance, complexity, and sweet musical quality that this circuit is capable of delivering. Fitted with a factory installed Jensen Special Design speaker, the tone has the alnico chime, rich breakup, and touch-sensitive qualities.

Tone simply doesn't get more pure or instinctive than with a lovingly made 5E3 circuit, and Clark has absolutely nailed the unique combination of materials and specs that has made the Deluxe so enduringly popular.

Features include:

Normal and Bright channels with common tone control.

240v Voltage corrected power and custom wound output transformer. No harsh high voltages.

Clark's custom wound interleaved windings output transformer. Superb deep piano string bottom, with high end extension to give it that classic 5E3 acoustic quality.

Tube compliment is one 5Y3 rectifier, two 6V6 Tung Sol power tubes, one 12AX7 and one 12AY7 in the preamp.

All Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors.

So Zo capacitors, these caps really nail the tone of the original Astrons.

Sprague electrolytics.

Original solid 22g cloth covered wire.

NOS tube sockets Mil Spec.

The amp is in very clean condition with a cabinet made of solid pine and Finnish birch, finished in the proper diagonal tweed and amber nitro lacquer. The tube chart is in great shape, and the inside of the cabinet is signed by the builder. The faceplate is clean with white silkscreen lettering on the chrome face and includes a quality made TLC amp cover
