On paper, the specs really interested me. I auditioned dozens of them since they first arrived in, 2005 I think? They were all sticky and stiff. I perceived the stiffness was due to the quartersawn neck and the bridge being decked.
Took a chance on one on Reverb.com spring of last year, as the...
Speaker does sound great. I got in touch with Mr. Michael Clark, and he said this amp *should* have come with a Celestion Blue 20 years ago, but I have no intention of changing out the Jensen.
*Really* liking the sound of the above-pictured 5E3 I recently acquired.
It's an instrument unto itself!
Discovered a setting I think is just fabulous:
Input: Bright 1
Jumper: Normal 1 to Bright 2
Vol Bright: 3.5
Vol Normal: 1 - 2.5
Fat and thick and clean when I back off the guitar volume a...
I do, in fact, own a Fryette Power Station, as I live in an apartment and found that "other" attenuators didn't do it for me. The Fryette PS-2A is money well spent.
I bought a 5E3 today. Have wanted one for a while, and specifically sought out the Beaufort from Clark Amplification. I have my Victoria Ivy League for sale.
Found this one on Reverb.com. Production date March 2002 o_O
Not sure if that's the preferred speaker, at least from opinions I've read...

I'm a big Pearl Jam fan, and can't imagine anyone would criticize his playing.
I think he's a great player and love his sometimes Hendrix-influenced playing. His '59 Strat is a fascinating instrument as well.
I may be a little biased, as I was in a Pearl Jam tribute band several years back. I...
From Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers song, "You Wreck Me"
... I'll be the boy ... in the corduroy pants ...
...You be the girl ... at the High School dance ...
Classic 😆
A good friend of mine was waiting in line at his local Walgreen's for a prescription, and this song was playing over the ceiling sound system.
He posted the incident on Facebook, commenting ... "so wrong, yet so right"
I vote no. Because I had one as a stand alone unit, and I had the one built into the Tone King Imperial II amp. It did not do it for me in either case.
I spent the money and got a Fryette Power Station PS-2. Could not be happier with that piece of gear.
