{"product_id":"vintage-fender-tremolux-5e9-a-tweed-usa-1958","title":"Vintage Fender Tremolux 5E9-A - Tweed - USA 1958","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is a rare and highly original 1958 Fender Tremolux, model 5E9-A, in classic tweed. One of the most desirable of all the narrow panel tweed Fenders, the Tremolux was produced in limited numbers between 1955 and 1960, and examples in this state of originality are genuinely difficult to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 5E9-A circuit runs a pair of 6V6 power tubes into a single 12 inch speaker, delivering around 14 to 15 watts of pure Class AB tweed tone. The built-in optical tremolo - controlled by the top panel Depth and Speed knobs - is the defining feature of the Tremolux circuit, and on a good original example like this one it has that warm, pulsing, organic quality that pedals and modellers have been trying to replicate ever since. Combined with the natural compression and bloom of the 6V6 output stage, it is one of the most musically satisfying tremolo sounds in existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis example presents with honest, age-appropriate wear throughout - exactly what you want to see on a genuine 1958 original. The tweed covering retains excellent colour and texture with light scuffs and corner wear consistent with decades of careful use. The oxblood grille cloth is original and intact, showing some light horizontal marks from age but no tears or damage. The original leather handle is heavily patinated and well worn, as expected on a nearly 70 year old amp. The chassis and interior appear substantially original and unmodified, with the original tube complement and period correct speaker in place - a very good sign on any vintage Fender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eControls are Depth, Speed, Tone, Instrument Volume and Mic Volume, with dual instrument inputs and dual mic inputs on the top panel. Comes complete with Fender footswitch and a 240V to 110V step-down transformer, making it ready to use in the Australian market without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA genuine, largely original 1958 Tremolux is a serious vintage amp for the serious collector or player. These don't come up often, and even less often in a condition like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMake: Fender\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eModel: Tremolux\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCircuit: 5E9-A\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSerial: 02571\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eYear: 1958\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eConfiguration: Single 12 inch combo\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOutput: Approx. 14-15 watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePower Tubes: 6V6 x 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eRectifier: 5Y3\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePreamp Tubes: 12AX7\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSpeaker: Original 12 inch period speaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eControls: Depth, Speed, Tone, Instrument Volume, Mic Volume\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eInputs: 2 x Instrument, 2 x Microphone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTremolo: Built-in optical tremolo with footswitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMains Voltage: 110V (240V step-down transformer included)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFootswitch: Fender footswitch included\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eStep-down Transformer: Aelec 240V-110V transformer included\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCondition: Original and largely unmodified throughout, honest age-appropriate wear\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47909398184089,"sku":"26115","price":6995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_4e124fdf-2b83-4c8a-a838-2c6fc6f22ed3.jpg?v=1781507452","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/vintage-fender-tremolux-5e9-a-tweed-usa-1958","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
