No 5E3 experience here, but I use a JTM45 clone (Weber 6M45 kit with some mods) and KT66 tubes as an amp for clean tones:
The clean tone on that one is not very Fender-y, if you'd define Fender clean as that of a BF Twin or other BF amp. It is much fuller in the mids, with less sparkle on top; warmer & darker than the Fender tone, great for jazzy stuff, or for "pretty" sounding clean tones; not the best choice for twangy stuff.
Oh, and the JTM45 has TONS of bass on tap - un-modded you can barely turn the bass pot up above 10 or 11 o'clock; there's a very simple mod for that, though, which tightens up the bass and gives the bass pot a more useable range.
