PreBS T5+ Lacquered Tweed

patsweet — Sat, 26 Mar 2022 04:51:13 +0000

The 2nd new build from Tucson just shipped out! A PreBS T5+ in traditional lacquered tweed with oxblood grillcloth, BIG trannies from Mercury Magnetics for a 6L6 power tube, and 10″ Celestion G10 Gold speaker! Of course it has the 3-way gain switch and this is the first Sweet to have a “bedroom level” attenuator switch! Go from full power 8W to .8W with the flip of a switch. This amp is LOUD and the built in attenuator really makes it a more domestically friendly amp for the bedroom, studio, living room or wherever you got your rig set up. A solid 5F1 build with tonal options!

No room for the bell cover…

SOLD!

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!

PreBS T5 Alligator

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!

PreBS T5 Solid Cherry w/10″ speaker

patsweet — Sun, 27 Aug 2017 02:16:03 +0000

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!

PreBS T5 Pair

patsweet — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 01:42:12 +0000

I’m trying to build up an inventory of Sweet amps for demo purposes so here’s a couple of PreBS T5 combos to start things off. The alligator/cane combo features an 8″ Weber signature speaker and the Black w/Red Racing Stripe version has a 6″ Weber signature speaker. There will be a 10″ version too very soon for comparison demos. All PreBS T5s now feature my exclusive 3-way gain/character switch for a much more versatile and fun Champ style amp. Stop by Chicago Fret Works for a demo!

Both are SOLD!

PreBS T5-6 Alligator

patsweet — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 02:33:14 +0000

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 T5

patsweet — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:18:09 +0000

Been wanting to try this so here it is. PreBS T5(champ) with 10″ speaker. This is a louder and fuller sounding T5 with NOS 5V4GA rectifier and negative feedback switch. The switch is like a boost providing rawness and richer harmonics at higher volume. This gives a singing quality to leads and power chords. Too much fun!

$799 – SOLD 3/29/14
