The collection turned out to be a total of 60 pieces-roughly 30 guitars and 30 amps.an astonishing wealth of great vintage gear. When John arrived at G.E.'s, he was invited down to the basement, and they spent the next 8 hours deep-diving through the whole thing: amps then guitars-all the while jibber-jabbering about gear, life, food and rock'n'roll war stories. asked John to come out east to see, in person, the portion of his collection he was no longer using. After checking out the store's bona fides, he decided to touch base with John Majdalani, Cream City Music store co-owner and head vintage buyer.įortunately, John and G.E.

This amp will make the perfect centerpiece to any vintage amp collection. On top of that, you get one of the most incredible tremolo/vibrato sounds you have ever heard. While the Jensen P10Qs lend the amp some of that early breakup of the tweed era. Sonically, all of that big, Brownface bottom end is there. These early Browns have their volume and tone controls in reverse order from all of the Fender amps that followed. The 5G7 one of the elusive "Center Volume" Brownface amps.

These profiles will cut the mix and are useful for their very focused EQ.A vintage 1960 Fender Brownface 3x10 Bandmaster-one of the signature amps of our vintage collection recently purchased from G.E. This mic seemed to mesh very well with the 5E7 circuit with the two having very complimentary EQ curves. We also included profiles marked “906” which feature the E906 single dynamic microphone. These profiles have healthy portion of low end and low mids with a slightly more strident high end and are extremely pleasing and full with single coil pickups! “F” profiles are designed to have increased fatness and utilize a Fathead 2 and SM57 mic combo also thru API clones. These profiles will feature a warm low end with a an upper mid push and a clear silky high end. We choose for this pack the classic pairing of a Royer 121 and SM57 thru API channel strip clones. Profiles Marked “M” are of the Mic channel which has less presence than the Instrument channel which is denoted by “I”. Inside the profile pack we’ve captured all the shades that we could pull out of this vintage tonal treasure! We’ve profiles this circuit across both channels and with 3 different Mic setups. It sits in a perfect spot tonally between the 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and the 5F6 Tweed Bassman and processes qualities that seem to borrow from both of it’s sister models beautifully. These circuits are famous for their beautiful, harmonically rich and full tweed tone. The 57 Tweed Band Kemper Profile Pack seeks to recreate the sound of an original 1957 5E7 Fender Bandmaster with original 1957 Jensen Alnico P10 speakers.
