  Ya know, for a guy promoting a minimalist guitar philosophy, you sure produce some G.A.S. inducing videos.<br>The brownface super is one of my dream amps, but I could easily live with a brown deluxe as my tube amp.<br>Keep it up, Keith.<br>Really love the history on the gear

  That brown deluxe with the les paul is just magic

  I had always heard my great-grandpa played a late 50&apos;s 5E3 that he got as a wedding present. I found it after digging through my uncle&apos;s garage, wrapped up in a dusty Kansas tarp. I flew it home with its own seat like Bonamassa does with his guitars. Felt like such a baller.

  The tweed has much more clarity and presence to me in the final comparison recordings. I wouldn’t have expected the brown and blackface to sound more scooped in comparison.<br>Honestly sold me on the 5e3.

  I like how after finishing each expertly played riff, Dave Barber looks menacingly at the camera. Made me laugh.

  Hi, Keith! Great video yet again! My first amp was a Fender Twin Reverb back in the early 70&apos;s, black tolex, silver face, and it was my Rushmore, but somewhere along the way of life, I became enamored with the Tweed sound and am now forever owned. &nbsp;Tweed, all the way! &nbsp;I do have the 5E3 Deluxe Mojotone built for me, along with my Fender Blues Deluxe... my two Tweed Princesses! 👸👸🐺

  Both the 5E3 and 6G3 Deluxe amps produce some of the best guitar tones I have ever heard, especially with a good pair of P.A.F. pickups. I imagine running the two in a stereo setup would sound heavenly. I have a Suhr Hombre that is my favorite amp, and I plan to pair it with a Victoria 20112 soon. Excellent video and much appreciated!

  I’ve had most of the originals and reissues over my 40 years of playing. I always go back to my Fender 57 5e3 reissue with the Eminence alnico or through my Celestion blues. Like the Tele, Leo got it right in the beginning. &nbsp;Thank you Leo and Happy 4th everybody !!!🎉

  This was an excellent video. The back to back clips were really helpful to illustrate why I like what I like. I really don&apos;t like the low-mids on the brown (black bothers me less), but the tweed is super articulate. Explains why when I went into the store to buy a Deluxe &apos;65 RI I walked out with a &apos;59 Bassman RI.

  I have always enjoyed every single 5 watt world video and this is no exception. After watching I feel enlightened as well as inspired to plug in and play. <br>Thank you Keith! 🎸😊
