My buddy Keith is wanting sell his Frenzel FM5E3 to finance another Frenzel amp.
All ugrades were done by Bill Frenzel. Upgrades include the Hammond multi-tap output transformer for 4-8-16 ohm load and effects loop with send level options that are an extra $85. $450 with the persons choice of 6L6's, 6V6's, or EL34's. These tubes will be new EH's. OR for $400 with only the rectifier tube and no preamp or output tubes. This price would be like getting the additional options free.
From Frenzel's ad:
FRONT PANEL:
- Type F INPUT
- Type M INPUT
- Type F GAIN
- Type M GAIN
- BASS
- MIDDLE
- TREBLE
- MASTER
- PRESENCE with NNFB PULL SWITCH
- PILOT LIGHT
- OFF STANDBY POWER SWITCH
FEATURES:
Input Jacks isolated from chassis for low noise, eddy currents, and hum.
DC on filaments for low 60 hz hum.
Star ground system to reduce induced current chassis noise.
Type F (Fender) and Type M (Marshall) inputs with separate preamps and Gain controls for the unique smooth Fender 5F6 warm tones or the Marshall Plexi SLP great high mid tones....or you can use an AB-Y switch and create your own distinct tones.
Classic 60's JTM45 - Bassman 5F6 style 3-BAND TONE STACK for extended flexibility in shaping your tone.
MASTER level control so you can crank the GAIN's up and overdrive the preamp without overdriving the output tubes.
Classic Type 5F6 Style Presence control .
Unique NNFB "Edge" switch on the PRESENCE control that transforms the power amp section into a No-Negative-FeedBack style amp for more open, less compressed tones.
Post output transformer LINE OUT with LINE OUT LEVEL control for driving a higher power amp, or for using this amp as a tube preamp/overdrive. Auto switching internal load if speaker is not connected to give you loaded output distortion. NOTE: Also great for using headphones!
Class AB fixed biased 6L6's in the output in place of the original Deluxe cathode biased 6V6's to give you more power and headroom. The bias is optimized using FRENZEL Multi-Valve design which allows you to use octal based 6L6's, 5881's, KT66's, KT88's, 6550's, or EL34 tubes in the output stage without adjusting anything.
I will post pictures as soon as Keith sends them to me. This amp really sounds good and is a real deal for what all you get. All point to point wiring. This is a sealed chassie only and is in perfect condition. PM me for more details.
