McChanson 5F1 Champ Clone 4

Eric McChanson 5F1 Champ clone, modified with 2 inputs, tone control and 6X4 rectifier tube. This is a Standard Strat with mild ProCo Rat overdrive and hall reverb from the Boss ME50, played through the 2x12 Jensen P12Ns in my Bluesbreaker cab. Used a pick for this one - never use them normally but I wanted to accentuate the "pop". Same rhythm as in some of my other demos so you can compare the sound.

Try a Hammond, bit cheaper than MMs and go well with old Fenders. There's not much difference in sound whatever you choose, but the better quality makes are probably more reliable.

Thanks for your informations.

Now i'll decide about the OT to use in my 5F1 clone.

I think Eric used an R-Core power transformer but I have no idea what the output was - never even looked. My other Tweeds have Mercury Magnetics and Hammonds, both of which are readily available and excellent.

Hey Man,

great sounding Tweed Clone. Now i'm building my own 5F1 clone (head version) to drive my 2x12 Weber.

What Output Transformer did you use?

Thanks
