The DELUXE55 is our all-analogue tribute to the legendary Fender® 5E3 Tweed Deluxe from 1955. With a complete valve amp signal path recreated in miniature using carefully crafted transistor-based circuitry, this compact pedal nails the sound, feel and personality of one of history’s quirkiest combos.
The DELUXE55 recreates everything that’s great about the Tweed Deluxe amp circuit. From articulate edge-of-breakup tones to thick lead sounds and all-out, about-to-explode fuzz, this no-nonsense tone fits into just about any genre. Warm yet cutting, soft yet punchy, its natural compression and hugely responsive overdrive made the Tweed Deluxe sound a real players’ favourite, and this rough-around-the-edges, unsung-hero identity is exactly what we’ve captured in the DELUXE55. Is it sophisticated and refined? No. Does it get the job done with style and bags of character? Absolutely!
This compact pedal simulates 6V6 power amp overdrive, valve rectifier sag, ragged phase inverter distortion, and the fat gritty tone of the Tweed Deluxe’s unconventional preamp – including different valve types. It’s all here in the DELUXE55, ready to drop into any rig. Get the whole experience of playing one of the most unique vintage amps. All you need is one pedal!
