- Today we're rocking a cool 5e3 tweed Deluxe clone, hand-built right here in the Pacific Northwest... the Roadhouse Tweed 15! With 15 watts of power and a 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, in a great-looking lightweight cabinet, you've got yourself a killer all-around package! A lot of clones can't quite capture the feel of an old Fender tweed, but these Roadhouse amps sure do the trick!

Wow I have no words!!! That amp sounds as good as it looks .. great tone and video
I own a Roadhouse 15. It the best amp I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had vintage Fenders, Marshalls, plenty of custom modded amps, and a really good Matchless. I’ve loved them all. But the Roadhouse 15 is definitely the most versatile of all my previous amps. I play country, blues, rockabilly, Americana; and it sounds great for all of them. Before I bought it, I was worried that it wouldn’t have enough clean headroom. I was wrong. It thumps clean when you want it to and chimes feedback when you want it to. It really feels alive and “touch sensitive” is an understatement. Awesome amp.
Magic amplification, are some of the best at capturing the magic of old fender combos.
Agreed Magic Amps are on point for the vintage thing! And for the beefed up 5E3 thing, a Blankenship Fatboy is another fantastic choice (at 22w).
Been lusting after a Z1 for years now. Saw one pop up right before pay day few months back. Still kills my soul.
I recorded with a tweed deluxe from the 50’s today and this thing is spot on
sounds amazing . good playing too
Great demo. A strat through a tweed deluxe is magical. After owning a Clark Beaufort for a few months and then selling it, I have really missed that tone and feel. I have a Franklyn built 5e3 on the way and can’t wait to experience that tone again. Thanks for heightening my anticipation. Killer amp and playing by you. Thanks.
Really nice tight tone, funky. Do you know if 230/240V versions are made for UK and Europa? Thanks.
Magnificent in every regard.
I had been wanting a low power fender amp for ages. I really liked the Fender Champs but they go for around $1700 Aussie. THEN I found the Joyo JTA-05. It's a blatant clone of a 5F1, but delivered to my door for $230 Aussie. Those with morals need not apply, but it sounds brilliant. 5 watts, 8" celestion.
Idk why people constantly bitch about them talking a lot, at least they're giving you good info on the product. It's just like bullshitting with someone about guitars and amps. Some channels and videos they just talk about complete bullshit and is so boring. Love this channel and emerald City guitars.
That is some gritty blues bro...Hubert sumlin is smiling right now.... perfect vehicle to paint that soundscape...peace out
that is the sound of how they used to make amps......fabulous
Very very cool....so what is the magic in these old tweeds that eludes modern builds.
Generally with the Vintage you may find drifted carbon composition resistors, some DC leaking coupling capacitors, and God forbid some bonehead is using vintage electrolytic capacitors.
Would've been nice to hear a Tele and a Paul through it.
We have one in our studio and this review is 100% correct. Sound and feels amazing and much bigger tone than any other 1x12combo.
Keith Richards all day!
Your best demo at seeing so far
Damn that sounds good......I have to get a 5E3
Damn man you can freaking play....Sounds awesome
Fantastic demo, man! The amp sounds phenomenal. Terrific playing as well.
That tone with those camera angles. That's friggin porn right there man.
I needs tweets!sounds of sweetness.great build geo.blues are nice and appropriate.great job
Wow. Sounds great. Nice playing!
Fantastic sounding amp! What are they going for if you don’t mind me asking?
Sounds so good, great POTD!
So great....
Very nice!
Part2 * maybe it's the celestions they seem to make alot of amps sound good...cuz this looks n sounds amazing
im annonymous yah. I couldn’t imagine any other speaker sounding better in this amp.
Please let me know when this amp is back in stock for purchase
Unbelievable, every Damn crybaby comes out of the woodwork to complain about this video!
Great video, great amp, great playing!
I love me some tweed.
Wow. Killer. I would have never put that blue in that cab if I had a choice. Its always been way to bright for my tastes but it sounds pretty good in this rig I Will admit.
Holy Moly!!!
A problem with the clones that probably has a lot to do with what you expect from them is non vintage tubes. Gotta run those vintage NOS tubes. Even the rectifier counts!
This guy is good. A variety of guitars would showcase the amp a bit more. Too many critics on here brutal
What 5e3 tweed clone do you recommend? What speaker for country, surf , classic rock?
I built a Mojotone 5e3 and changed the orange drops caps to mallory m150 mustard caps and used carbon comp resistors and big blue sprague electrolitic caps, very easy to do. Ive played Victoria, fender 5e3s and their not quite there really, very nice but not as warm as the Mojotone. Its a fantastic amp mainly due to a proper pine cabinet and proper transformers. Ive tried all the speakers blues, webers, jensen originals and re issues eminences etc and the best all round speaker is the Celestion g12m 65 creamback.Its got plenty of volume and growling bottom end, beautifull mid range and a sweet top end. Ive done over five hundred gigs with it now and ive played many super high end boutique amps, which are all impressive in their own ways and always come back to the Deluxe, it really is the most versatile little amp out there. If you want to give it a boost I recommend a klon centaur style pedal with the gain right down, it works a treat as it is the best in keeping transparrent guitar tone comming straight out of the speaker. You can hear it at luckyolsun.co.uk, please excuse the over compressed recording but the guitar tone speaks for its self. 59 strat is on the recording. Cheers.. ps. Your amp in this film sounds great by the way. God Bless
Yoho Hoho - I’ve just bought a mojotone 5e3 kit - can you tell me where you got the parts to do your mods and what effect you noticed please ? Cheers !
Yeah it sounds great, we threw all different guitars at it.. but here's 7,5 minutes of just a strat.
Emerald City seems to have a grounding problem.
The Celestion g12m 65 creamback is a nicer speaker than the blue in a 5e3. The blue is good but the creamback has a better, sweeter treble to enjoy when you crank the tone all the way up at gigs.
I would love someone to clone the Harvard circuit but do it in a 4x8 configuration.
How are these builders working around the problems with modern tubes? The old tubes were and are a better sounding product.
They ship with JJ stock. There’s only a couple of really poor tube substitutions in the rectifier and EL84 space but 12ax7s and 6V6/6L6 are pretty solid across the board. The real trick is adjusting vintage circuits for modern power from the wall and emulating the power sections.
Bill Edwards are you saying that higher wall voltages are changing the tone? Should make things bigger and cleaner, right? Or are you worried about the heater voltages?
peacefulruler1 for sure they are. You’re hitting the tubes a little harder across the circuit. You see a lot of folks using the brown boxes to turn the voltage down 10% or so, otherwise they need to be adjusted in the circuit.
Sold!!!!!
D@mn that man can play.
why do you keep looking down? its like you are saying these words without a clear conscience? anyway love the amp tones.
15w amp, 15w speaker. Are not the speakers supposed to be able to handle twice the power that the amp can provide? This looks like a recipe for 279$ going up in smoke.
that alnico blue is the only difference really the comsmetic detail is nice and a person who takes pride in their work will make quality product but really the difference you talk about in tone is that speaker
The amp sounds great but why is it that all these guys that demo amps and guitars all sound exactly alike? They have every generic blues lick and hendrix kinda chord cliche things
Single note lines are glorious. Chord distortion vacuums. Too ratty sounding, not holding definition very well. A ceramic speaker might help that.
Great stuff. You're too close too the amp though..
Gijs van der Sluijs too close to the amp; what do you mean?
All Things 11 the interference from the guitar being too close to the transformers.
Great publishing date. Amp would be better with a Weber 12F150 ... it wouldn't fart out so much on the chord punches ... Cannot believe anyone thinks that sounds good ...
sorry guys, but 3:25 min until the first tone is much too long and starts beeing boring. You should start with a few tone, than talk, than sounds again
3:24
Greed. That's why they often fall short. They always cut corners...
How about P90's of humbuckers and some rock chords...the Jimmie Ray Clapton thing is worse than playing Iron man or Stairway to heaven..plink plink
Well, he is talented at using the whammy bar like a spaz. "I don't know what guitar lick to fill here during this long note expression time period?! Oh Yeah Boi-yoi-yoi-yoi-yoing!!!"
Get off the whammy bar!
Had some noise to it. Hummmmm
Healthkick It’s normal from positions 1, 3, and 5 on a strat.
Who cares that thing sounds awesome.
would love to hear chords and songs on guitar and less blues noodling
