I just love the way my 5E3 sounds clean at bedroom levels. I built it to get its fabled OD tones, but I was absolutely stunned at how nice it sounds clean. However, I really wouldn't depend on it as a clean amp at a gig. JMHO, but it is too quiet to be of any use unless you've got a really quiet band. Good thing here is that the only thing I can think of that sounds better than a 5E3 clean is a 5E3 at overdrive!
The only solution is to build a 5E3, a 5F6A, a Deluxe Reverb clone and a JTM45! Your saying "I have 1.
been convinced for 2.
a good while that 3.
I need a 5e3 and a JTM45 in my life" is a very promising sign!
