Fender Deluxe 5E3 style Reverb Boutique amp & Navigator Les Paul (Part-1)

I'm enjoying on this amp named "DEVA" which is based on Fender Deluxe reverb amp. It is PTP handwired in India by Roy Chvat of Guru Amps (www.guruamplifiers.com). It's schematic is little different for generating Plexi type organic sound. It has a Lush reverb sound and has a beautiful Acoustic characteristic tone. Some of the parts used in it are as follows: Mercury Magnetics Transformers Jensen C12N speaker Accutronics Reverb tank ( 3 spring ) Electro Harmonix Power Tube - 6V6 Hard Pine wood cabinet Fully buffered parallel effects loop. There are quite a few difference between the Deva and the Deluxe Reverb which would include everything from a much better filtered powered supply, stand off heater supply, a resistance circuit that gives a tube rectifier like response, a Plexi like front end for more tone response, improved Driver circuit, a low impedance cathode follower driven EQ, a parallel FX/Rev circuit. In fact the circuit has more similarities to the Deluxe 5E3 having a similar Cathode Biased Output section. Better too is the layout, abandoning the random grounding system used by Fender, better set of Transformers, Of course these old Fenders designs are over 40 years old so technical improvement is expected. Those old Fender Amps sound great of course. Do leave your comments/ feedback. Regards Vaibhav
