Frenzel is one the best kept secrets in hand built amps. I had one of the 5E3s for a few months before selling it to a friend. At the end of the day I'm a grab and go combo guy.

The Frenzel was one of the best sounding amps I've played at any price. I found more authentic Fender/Marshall tones in that thing than you would have any right to expect with as little as it cost. The workmanship was solid and it appears that the cosmetics have come along since I had my amp.

If you love classic tones and don't want to spend a fortune, you should do yourself a favor and look at Frenzel. You may be surprised.
