Which tweed goes with this shirt?

So, I'm getting the itch to build another amp.

I've currently got these three in the stable:
A Princeton Reverb (Mojo kit)
A 5f1 in a home built cherry cab
A Marshall Class 5 (sweet cream tolex with plexi plate)

I'm looking at building something along the tweed line but I'm having trouble deciding between a 5E3, a 5F4 or a 5F6.

Here's the +/- on each of them...

5E3
+low wattage, good for home playing
+some nice grit at a reasonable gig volume
-maybe too gritty

5F4
+I like the depth of a 2 speaker setup
+uses 6L6s and I've got a quad of old RCA 6L6s
+seems like the mid ground between the two others

5F6
+dreamy 3D tone
+Clean Clean Clean!
-maybe too big and loud to get that nice deep clean tone at home volumes

I'm planning on building this from a Weber kit with blonde tolex / wheat grill aesthetic. I can afford to start the 5E3 soon. I would need to save up a bit for the 5F6. Maybe sell the Class 5

I've been playing my La Cab and my Gretsch (w TV Jones) lately, so I'm looking for a good compliment to them.

Any thoughts, clips, pics of relevant builds would be helpful ;)

:shock:

What are you used to?

Well, I figured that in the 12 -15 watt range, the cleans would be within a nice reasonable volume. I know how loud my 5f1 can get so I can imagine what a cranked 5e3 is like, but I wanted something with a bigger speaker (speakers) than the champ.

You could install a fixed adjustable bias circuit on a 5E3 for cleaner tone and late break up. Like this Harvard styled build:

The original Harvard used a lower output PT. I used a 5E3 PT - making this amp much like a single channel 5E3 with fixed bias.

It's a nice set up.

The harvard is a cool amp, but I'll tip my cards just a bit here and say that I'm looking at the 5f4 and the 5f6 primarily because they rock 6l6s and I have that box of old RCAs sitting around. I rescued them from a burnt up Stromberg Carlson PA amp and I'd love to get them in something.

I'm looking at a design with a 6SL7 preamp and a 6L6 power amp for fun so that scratches my weird preamp tube itch.

The 5E3 is probably what I should be building and I should just hand on to those 6l6s for now. I'm not currently playing with a band and so the deluxe is more than adequate for anything I need. In fact, my Princeton reverb is more than adequate, but I dig the way my Gretsch sounds with my champ so I'm looking for a bigger, cleaner tweedy sound.
