McChanson 5F1 Champ Clone 3

Eric McChanson handwired 5F1 clone played through the Jensen 2x12 P12Ns in my Bluesbreaker cab. Guitar is a US Standard Strat with hall reverb from a Boss ME50. Played clean, showing the sound with various pickup positions.

I have an eric amp but haven't commissioned it yet due to a number of reasons. I have a celestion G12-80 to pair with it. Will this be a satisfactory match up?

@orbodman Fender (and others) used those in a lot of solid state amps. Should go well enough as it is a good all-rounder with a nice clear tone. The amp should be able to drive it OK but you may miss some nuances at low volumes. A 25-50W would be a better match for quiet playing.

Lovely tones there. I actually bought one of these myself from Eric - great amp! I'll be posting a clip myself soon as well. Cheers

[naylaird]

Yep, lovely amps. For simpler transport I put mine in a cab with a Jensen P12N and it sounds beautiful. I've been meaning to do some more clips with that and a Laney Lionheart with a Tele and a 335 but just haven't had the free time lately.

sweet tone .. what tubes did you use (specifically rectifier) ? I mean made by who

[naylaird]

Can't read the name on the tube - it's probably getting on 50 years old. I imagine it would be a US-made GE or RCA or similar though.

So pleased with the way mine turned out...gunna eventually have a cab built by a local and pick up an alnico speaker from ebay, etc, but right now I have this same glorious tone for around $300. Super Jazzed!!
