Tweed Deluxe Tone Tips: 3 Things You NEED To Try

Pretty much everyone on Earth knows about the legendary 5E3 Tweed Deluxe, but how do you USE it? This is a VERY simple amp, with some subtle hidden gems if you know how to dial it in. I have 3 tips here, the second of which always surprises me when I hear how good it sounds. Most amps do not respond that way...

I have Gibson versions of that classic circuit, which they got from the same tube manuals Leo Fender used. I usually run them at about 4, which is where Dave Cobb (the Nashville producer) said he likes to run them at their "magic spot". They aren't known as clean amps, but they have a wonderful tone full of character, if you want overdrive or distortion it's easy to get by turning up farther on the amp or guitar, or stomping on a box. I prefer clean tones now that I'm getting old, and can't stand some of the music I used to think I liked. Clean tones sound more musical to me, and make me FEEL better too. Music makes me feel emotions - great music can make me feel ecstatic, and brings tears to my eyes. I witnessed the Muddy Waters band bring the audience to a collective musicgasm! I was on a high for a few weeks after that 1970's concert in Tucson. I prefer clean tones, and effects too. Pedal steel guitar is one of my favorite instruments, something about that clear, clean, round, warm, juicy pedal steel sound that I love, and fiddle plaing too, but I digress. Getting back to the Deluxe circuit amps: i prefer that circuit with 10" speakers, which work well with a deluxe sized cabinet. My GA-14 has a Weber 10A150, and the GA-18 a Weber 10F150. The GA-14 has two channels like a Deluxe, the GA-18 is one channel with tremolo (swampy sounds!). With those Weber speakers large magnets and voice coils, you don't miss not having a 12" speaker. I like them more with the 10" because of their quicker response and tighter lows, they seem to cut better too. 20 years ago I decided to collect old Gibson and Ampeg amps instead of Fender, which already cost considerably more even back then. I'm glad I did, because the 6V6 Ampeg and Gibson amps are excellent sounding once they are properly serviced, and mine run dead-quiet at idle with the volume up. I rarely play my deluxe reverb clone with Weber 12F150 anymore, a really good sounding amp, because my Gibson and Ampeg amps sound better to me.

I have a 5E3 amp made by a small builder in Washington. I traded a Mesa MkIIB for it and I think I got the better end of the deal. I never really clicked with the Mesa but the 5E3 is the sound of rock 'n' roll. My tips are 1) I keep my Tone around 5 and both volumes around 11 because that way I can easily plug into any input jack and not have to readjust things. I find that Normal volume 1 works very well with humbuckers and Normal volume 2 works well with single coils because it still remains much of the punch and chime but it's not as murky sounding as the volume 2 inputs. 2) As far boost pedals go I like using an EHX Soul Food. I've found that the Soul Food is one of the few boost/drive pedals that mate well with a 5E3. I also like the fact that you can still use the guitar's volume knob and still get a wide range of clean and gain options at your fingers.

I love the cranked sound of my 5e3 but I made it even better by adding a 5f10 Harvard via a Radial true bypass AB/Y box with a Strymon reverb on the Harvard.

@michaelfranks2508 11 ай бұрын

A great video on my favourite type of amp. Something I occasionally do on mine is jumping the channels with an echo unit in between the two channels. I suppose you could describe it as a primitive effects loop but you can change the echo sounds by altering the amount of drive going in by altering the channel volume on the channel hitting the unit’s input. My fender actually goes really clean if I am going straight into one channel and put the other flat out. I actually bought it to get the 50’s /60’s blue note jazz guitar tone similar to Kenny Burrell and it is great with an arch top but I love playing more rock or blues styles though it especially with a telecaster where the harshness disappears from the treble pickup and there is a lot of mid range compared to a blackface.

I really like my J Rockett Archer into it. I find it to be a pretty honky and bad sounding pedal into most amps. It doesn't really sounds like a more faithful Klon. But into a tweed deluxe with the pedal's gain turned up to around noon and the treble set to just about the same, it sounds amazing into the 5e3. It cuts out all the flub while adding 3d sounding harmonics. And it cleans up well with the volume knob. I also run a strymon volante into it will "silver ratio" multi taps that have the treble and bass cut quite a bit. I leave it on pretty much all the time and it doesn't really get in the way. This was a great video. I"m going to have to try setting it a bit cleaner and running pedals into it. I usually have both volumes set to 6.5 and plug into the bright. I but I like how your od sounded into it when it was set up mostly clean.

Tweed Deluxe is pretty much my desert island ‘if I could only have one amp and one guitar’ amp. However, I’ll never be able to afford one now that I’m retired, nor would I be able to turn it up to utilize its full potential. However in my experiences, I’ve learned the poor man’s method to get in the ball park. Get the right kind of fuzz pedal (one the cleans up well with guitar volume roll-off, but goes full spluttery fuzz when you turn up), do the 50s Gibson wiring mod to a guitar, and lastly, run into a mildly driven amp (or a mildly driven overdrive if you want to keep your amp clean). With this setup, I can do glassy cleans to Stones crunch, to Hendrix Fuzz or Neil Young cranked tones, just by working between 5 to 10 on the guitar volume depending on how hot the pickups are - my Tele will do the full range between 7 and 10.

@JustinOstrander 11 ай бұрын

Hey Justin, great video. I’ve been strongly considering the Lazy J 20 based on reviews. I’ve done a lot of research on other clones and the Fender ‘57 custom hand wired etc. Since the Lazy J 20 is on the higher priced range of 5E3 types, is it worth the higher cost in your opinion? Cost is not really a major factor but if you like the Lazy J much better than the many other examples you’ve most likely been able to play in your position, that would carry a lot of weight. Thanks Justin

Hey Thanks so much for these videos. They are all golden nuggets! I´ve got a question, maybe you wanna make a video outta it: Why do we never see you nashville studio session guitarist use something like the kemper Profiler, Axe FX or even Plug Ins? I´m thinking, it´s gotta be another reason but the sound. Because soundwise i bet no one can really tell e diffrence anymore between real and emulated amp...

@JustinOstrander 11 ай бұрын

The short answer is, I don’t like the way they feel. And I have lots of great amps. When people are paying me to record guitar, I need to exist in that last 3-5% of difference that an amp modeler does not capture-in terms of tone and in terms of my own inspiration. Now, I do like the speaker modelers (Ox, Revv, etc). Those are fine, and lots of people use them in town.

@@JustinOstrander cool thats what i thought! I feel the same. Had a Kemper back in 2014 but went back to real amps because something was just missing. Please keep up the content. In my opinion you make the best

John Bollinger was interviewing the guys over at Badcat amps and they were saying that Bonnie Raitt's crew swapped her over to a profiler without telling her and at sound check after strumming a couple of chords, she asked them what was wrong with her amp😂 Says it all really😊

Justin, I just found your channel. You're a great player for sure with an amazing touch on that les Paul. When i heard your tone i said what the hell is this. Your tone is it , I Can tell on my phone for God sakes. It rings like a bell. I have a gold top les paul with p90s. My question to you is do i have to spend 4k to approximate the tone you get. I am loooking at purchasing a 5e3 from a small builder thats appox. 1/2 the price of a lazy J.( This question does not take into consideration the tone your getting from your hands which is huge). Thanks and God bless.

Make the jump, you won’t regret it! With an Ox and a JTM 45 clone and a 6G6 B Bassman clone that I use, you don’t need many pedals to find the tones you’re looking for. With the Ox, you’ll find a whole new relationship with your amps.

Great video man. About not needing an FX loop - what if you don’t want to have the volume rolled off, ie for a solo, but still want to use reverb or delay? Do you just turn the mix/effect level right down ?

Then you definitely gotta turn the mix level down.

A good original is fantastic. You’re hearing this through a warehouse ET65 (their g12-65 clone) in an ext cab. Quite a few Nashville guys (Dan Dugmore, Kenny Greenberg, Bob Britt) have very early Vintage 30s in theirs. I’ve always hated v30s, but those speakers in those old 5E3s sound amazing.

@steveh1273 11 ай бұрын

How are you getting the amp output into the computer? I don't see a mic, must be a Two Note or something similar to cut the power output and route to the computer. If so, we aren't hearing the Celestion Blue? It's cool, that's for sure.

Hey Justin can you explain the differences between a "Click Track" and a Metronome ? I've heard there are different CT's for different songs. Who is responsible for it's creation ? Do different Instruments have their own ? Thanks

@cornerstonemusic8014 11 ай бұрын

I think folks typically use the two interchangeably. A metronome is what I call the tool. A click track is what I call it once it’s in a mixer or a DAW. “Click tracks” will sometimes include audible cues for key transitions in a tune - “chorus 2 3 4… bridge 2 3 4…”. Those would be song specific.

Do you use the reverb and tremelo in The amp?

@JustinOstrander 9 ай бұрын

Lazy J does build them with the option of adding reverb and tremolo modules, but mine has neither. I haven’t even played a Lazy J with reverb or trem; I could see the trem circuit being cool. A tweed amp with reverb just sounds wrong to me. I don’t know. Need to try it before dismissing it I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️
