Bluesmaster 50 - heretical build & awesome sound

Post by EaNot »

Hi, folks!
I have built so much Dumble clones with beautiful sound and touch sensitivity. But I didnt build Bluesmaster. But I've done it! I have read that Bluesmaster is not so much musically sounds. But its FALSE! Its very versatility, very playability and no doubt - very Dumble-ish and very rich sounding amp.

Narrow chassis (5E3 Tweed Deluxe), same cab (during build), transformers - BF Fender Bassman specs.

Most diverse and flexible Duble-like amp I have built! And why is it underestimated?

Bear with me for my english.

That is great that you placed it into a 5e3 style chassis. I am working with a 5e3 style chassis on another build as well.
They work great for building combo amps of you favorite circuit.

Cheers

Looks like something Henry Heistand of Red Plate Amps would do; lots of amp in a small package.

Excellent work - very nice look build.

Oh, man! You put that thing in a 5E3 chassis (& have no noise issues... :?: )

I must admit I didn't really heard convincing videos of the Bluesmaster - which might explain why this amp could be underestimated. Maybe I didn't found the good videos :?
