This Carl's Custom Octal Tweed Deluxe is a great vintage sounding amplifier. There are a few marks on the grill cloth and a light player wear on the cabinet but overall it has a great vibe. This has the Weber Alnico speaker and is loaded with NOS tubes which was an awesome find.
From Carl's Custom -
The Octal Tweed Deluxe is my version of early 5B3 Tweed Deluxe circuit that used octal pre-amp tubes. While not as well known as the later 5E3 Deluxe Octal Deluxe is an awesome amp! The octal pre-amp is grid-leak biased and it uses a paraphase phase inverter which imparts incredibly fat and responsive overdrive. The cleans are especially rich. Thick swampy and rich are the adjectives that come to mind! This amp works especially well with both single coils PAF type humbuckers.
