My rendition of the 1954 Deluxe. Added 1 more input, narrow panel cab. This is for Robert Kazee. #0001 went to Jeff Saine.

This is a warmer amp than my 5E3 clone, Uses a paraphase inverter, like the early 5D6, Bassman amps.

Finger-jointed pine cab, lacquer finish.

Great amp for harp, steel, or guitar!!

What a work of art! That's much too nice to ever take out of the house.

Great job Ken, and Lee is right. It will go to my studio and stay there. Thanks Ken.

Sounds awesome with my Tele and a little reverb from my RV-7, Digitech reverb.

I have the RV-7 hardwire waiting for it, can't wait to see what my Strat sounds likes through it.

Buck and Don used the Bassman starting out. I think Don then went to a twin.

Wanted to tell everyone I recieved the amp today from Ken. I havn't tried it on my Steel yet, but my Strat sounds great, plenty of good clean tone for a low wattage Amp. Right now I am running the volume on 2, which the contol starts at 1. Great job Ken.

Thanks! I am really proud to resurrect the old 1954 Deluxe. One find sounding amp for sure. Let us know how it does for lap steel, etc.

The speaker we chose is a clone of the Celestion Vintage 30, a Veteran 30. Great speaker for this amp
