^{A little history}

The fender 5E3 deluxe amplifier, introduced in 1955, became popular due to its unique and colorful response it gave to the input. This amplifier simply responds to your style of playing! In comparison to the cleaner fender twin, produced some years later, this deluxe amplifier has a wide number of tones, including soft tube saturations when driven softly. And equally it's big distorted sound it produces when the input is driven hard.

In 1946, fender designed their first amplifiers. One of them being the DELUXE. Years later fender would release what was to be their first solid body electric guitar. They tweaked some of the circuits in one of their amplifier models, this would be what made Fenders “wide panel” 5E3 deluxe Tweed a historic piece!

Soon it became a favorite amongst country blues and early rock musicians. It was their go to amp for gigs in bars, midsize clubs, and a Studio quality guitar amplifier. It would include a single 12 and speaker and 2 6V6 power tubes boosting the incredible 15 Watts of power

And like the original amp, you can plug into any of the amp’s four inputs and achieve different gain levels or impedance changes, or plug in using a vintage “Y” cable to jump the inputs and blend the channels.

I personally have not tried the 55’ Tweed Deluxe Plug-In. Tonight however I willbe using it on a guitar project I have been working on. I basically tracked my fender Strat, through my Avedis “MD7” preamp. The plan is to now run the clean guitar track through this plug-In and see what the outcome will be. I am super excited to hear what this plug-in will do!

Guitar SIMS have always sounded harsh to me, it would be nice to hear something silky and realistic.
