Here is  Bluetone Tweed Deluxe 5E3 which is based on Fender 5E3 Deluxe topology. It has two inputs, one bright and one normal. Both inputs have their own volume controls with a shared tone control.  Volume controls are interactive, which helps user to create together millions of different sounds when needed. Preamp tube is a EH12AY7 Phase inverter is a JJECC803. Poweramp has two Tungsol 6V6 tubes in it. This amp has also a tube 5Y3GT rectifier. This combo is equipped with one Celestion Blue Alnico 12″ speaker and  dynamic power scale VVR, which works in this amp exceptionally well.

You cannot get a clean sound very easily out of this amp and both input channels are very interactive. Amp is not vey loud but you can get nice crunch blues sounds out of it with decent volumes. My amp has some modifications compared to original Fender schematics. I will add my scematics of this amp with my modifications to my “Schematics” section later. Here you have some pictures of this amp.
