Hi all,
I love the 5e7 clone (head) recently finished. I am not into the whole 10 inch speaker thingy, rather prefer it with a v30 (Mesa type) and G12-65. That said, the tone and compression is simply great and it became one of my favorite amps right away. The gain is there, afterall 3 gain stages... And very tasty compression.
I've used new Tung Sol 5881's and NOS Sylvania 5751 in V1 and V2 and NOS Jan Phillips 12AT7 in V3 (PI).
Here is a short clip for whatever it's worth:
It is loud tho. 40W's...![](https://forum.seymourduncan.com/core/images/smilies/scratchchin.gif)
I want to lower the wattage to sorta 15-20W levels...
That is why I made myself 2 attenuators, both with 100W resistors. The first with a 22Ohm parallel and 4.7Ohm series L-Pad. The second, with 33Ohm parallel and 2.2Ohm series. The second will be a bit louder.

I am gonna check them today and see which one would be a better fit. I'll let you know if interested. (Can share the details of the L-Pad as well, just let me know.)

PS. BTW the guitar is a Heritage fake ES335 with Duncan Seth Lovers and the cab is a Marshall 1960B with V30's (Marshall type).
