I would pass on the cab from Nik unless you live close to Malaysia or don't have any domestic options. Shipping a large cab to the U.S. for instance can add hundreds in shipping costs. Also, it's a 12-watt amp, unless you mod it for a more powerful poweramp, some of your options may be overkill. A Pentode/Triode switch would probably make it too mushy (a 5E3's OD is sorta mushy as is). A Master Volume can kill the power tube OD that it's famous for. I would consider an attenuator or a power scaling (google London Power) instead. Title: Re: 5E3 options?

Instead of me starting another thread in the Marshall forum...is the 18w TMB EF86 a good candidate for a master volume? I'm looking for a low wattage tube chassis that can get a good, reasonably low volume, MV distortion and still be low power enough to crank (an 18w with pentode/triode and MV would be nice).

I would think you could request one shipment if the shipping does work out to be less. A PPI MV should work good with a 18-watt Marshall, though these days I like the idea of Power Scaling (http://"http://www.powerscaling.com/") better. |
