Rachel Amps?
I just got a Rachel 5e3 and I love it. I just want to get more info about it and there is NONE on the web. any Info would be awesome.
Re: Rachel Amps?
The 5e3 is a pretty easy circuit to build and it sounds great... It's rather difficult to screw up. Everyone builds at least a couple in their life, even if they don't ever build any other amps.
If we narrow down every guy that built a 5e3 to the ones with a sweetheart named Rachel, we likely still have thousands of possibilities. Good luck!
I've built 3 5e3s and I think I maybe once liked a girl named Rachel.

Re: Rachel Amps?
Did you see the ebay listing for the amp?
But you are right, not much on the web about him.
Gives a few details.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tweed-Deluxe-5E ... 0955962134
This is a hand-wired, boutique "Tweed Deluxe" guitar amp from Rachel Amplification. It is signed inside by the builder Brian R. Stallard, made in March 2012.
It's in MINT, like-new condition. This is an awesome amp - a faithful hand-built clone of a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe, and it sounds (and feels) amazing.
I just don't have a current need for it, so I'm looking to get cash to invest in other gear.
This has much higher quality components than a lot of the other tweed deluxe clones out there, (including the Fender reissues), and it's all hand-made with exceptional build quality.
Warehouse Guitar Speakers (WGS) "Black and Blue" 12" speaker
Tubes are a mix of N.O.S. (GE and ElectroHarmonix) and two new Tung-Sol 6V6s I just put in
All caps are Mallory, Sprague or F&T according to the previous owner
Ceramic tube sockets
Solid pine cabinet
Warm, full-bodied, clear, classic tweed tone. Crank it up and it gets that thick, rich, timeless tweed crunch with loads of complex harmonics, sustain and ringing overtones. Keith Richards, Neil Young, Mike Campbell/Tom Petty--it's all there. It's a killer blues, country and rock amp for gigging and recording. And it takes pedals really well too. Add your favorite od or boost pedal, and look out.
