GreenHandle Tweed 1x12 - 5E3 Circuit

Greenhandle Tweed 1X12


Built here in CT, Greenhandle amplifiers offers top-quality, boutique-class, hand-built '50s tweed amp recreations. The quality of these amplifiers is second to none. If you are looking for a real-deal '50s tweed amp but can't afford the vintage prices or risky reliability, you cannot do better than Greenhandle amplifiers.


Fom the manufacturer's web site:

Greenhandle Music is my best effort to build the highest quality amps using 21st century parts and technology. Starting with old school layouts and designs, I personally build every one of these amps with the finest modern parts and technology I can find. This attention to detail renders an amp with all the original tone as defined by the great amp builders of the past but with superior reliability and lower noise floors. In this new world of small studios and home recording, it is impossible to have an original 50’s Tweed at every location. Also, original early amps have become too valuable to take out on tour to be stolen or beaten to death by the rigors of the road. Greenhandle Amps attempts to puts these tone monsters comfortably back in the hands of the working musician.

This 5E3 type circuit has a number of modifications. I used isolated input and output jacks with modified star grounding scheme. Also, a Mercury Magnetics power transformer was selected with a modified secondary to adjust for modern AC line voltage. This, in conjunction with a NOS rectifier tube, ensures the B+ voltage remains appropriately low for the power and preamp tubes. This Mercury power transformer also provides a center tapped heater circuit that, combined with tightly twisted heater wires, keeps the AC noise to a minimum. All Greenhandle 1x12 Tweed amps come with a Mercury output transformer with 5k and 8k taps so they can run either 6L6 or 6V6 tubes. The cathode capacitors have been reduced to filter out some of the bass and the Paul C mod has been installed. Shielded coaxial is always used to eliminate as much noise as possible in the early preamp section. The early power filter capacitors have been beefed up and screen resistors are installed. Finally, in this instance, wire preamp tube holders were installed rather than shield covers to avoid rattling at high volume. This particular set of modifications works well with humbuckers.

This 5F1 inspired chassis follows the original schematic closely. Greenhandle modifications include isolated input and output jacks with modified star grounding scheme.

Mesa/Boogie 2x12 Recto Horizontal Cabinet

Mesa/Boogie 2x12 Recto Horizontal Cab

Full Details:
2x12 Recto® Horizontal Cabinet
This cabinet is LEGENDARY! The original Rectifier® 2x12 Horizontal Cabinet was designed by matching the dimensions of the bottom two speakers in a Standard Oversized Rectifier 4x12. While simple in it’s design concept, the resulting sealed enclosure delivers HUGE punch, projection and authority from it’s relatively small size. In addition to world-class low end response, it’s midrange punch and bite, coupled with the classic warmth and cut of Celestion Vintage 30s, makes this cabinet an excellent choice for all styles despite it’s reputation in high gain rock, alternative and metal styles. Anytime you want to bring a 4x12 but can’t, the 2x12 Recto® sounds big enough to make you wonder if you DO have a 4x12 behind you!
You simply won’t find a better cabinet. ALL MESA® ENCLOSURES are made using the finest Void-free, Marine Grade Baltic Birch. Super strong rabbet corners are glued and nailed. Speaker baffles are fitted with superior dado joint construction and braced. Grilles are wrapped around a separate grille board, not the baffle board. Grille material is made of strong twisted jute dipped in a special coating that filters top end for a sweeter response.

The Home of Tone®
Cabinetry plays a major and sometimes overlooked role in achieving the ultimate sound you are searching for. While your amp offers controls for fine-tuning your sound, no amp will sounds its best without an equally good (or better) sounding cabinet. That’s why it’s so important to choose a cabinet that will not only suit your playing style, but also enhance it and the other equipment you're using.
The Rectifier® Cabinet Series is designed and constructed using the best materials, speakers and craftsmanship you can own. Our most popular cabinet line also offers the widest array of configurations, sizes and styling, assuring that you can find a Rectifier Cabinet to fulfill the needs of any tone, feel or footprint you’re looking for.
