PreBS-T5 Black Ghost Paisley

patsweet — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 01:19:34 +0000

Another custom Sweet build just completed. This 5F1 champ build features Mercury Magnetics transformers, custom velvet grill cloth by artist Jeremiah Witting-Akiona, and of course my exclusive 3-way gain switch for more tonal variety. You’ll get the classic crunch and sag of a 50′s tweed Champ plus a cleaner/smoother setting(great for bouncy neck pickup tones) and an “over the top” setting for even more distortion and sustain. Vintage and beyond!

SOLD!

Another classic Alligator PreBS T5 with Cane grillcloth. One of my favorite color combinations! This one was ordered with standard 8″ WGS speaker for a traditional tone and has our unique 3-position gain switch for some variations on the classic tone. Vintage and more! Watch for a new PreBS T5 build coming soon. Not yet spoken for!

Another PreBS T5 collaboration with a custom cherrywood cab built by my dad. This one has a NOS 5V4G rectifier and an oversized 8 ohm Mercury Magnetics output transformer(many speaker choices) for 6L6 or EL34 power tube, and a 10″ Eminence Lil Buddy hemp cone speaker which compliments both clean and overdriven tones! As always, it features a 3-position gain switch for versatility and another super soft high quality handle from El Dorado. The undisputed King of Champs!

The latest PreBS T5-6 just shipped out to http://brianhowardguitars.com/ and will hopefully be used to demo his hand crafted guitars and repairs. This one features a 6″ Jensen alnico speaker, NOS 5V4G rectifier, Jupiter coupling caps, and a 3 position rotary gain switch for more versatile practice/recording tonal options. The alligator Tolex and cane grill cloth are extra classy to boot! My new favorite color combo! Happy birthday Brian!

PreBS T45

patsweet — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:21:01 +0000

This 45W 4×10″ combo is based on the famous 1959 Bassman. Originally designed for the then new invention, the Fender Precision Bass, it quickly became the amp of choice for countless electric guitar players. This design was also the basis for the Marshall stack sound of the 60′s. A few famous bassman users are Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and Kim Wilson. With a pair of 6L6 or 5881 output tubes and a very simple and pure signal path, this tweed era combo is still a standard for countless guitar and harmonica players. More than enough power for any gigging situation. Can be voiced specifially for warm overdriven harp tones or for dead serious rock and blues guitar.
