I will be ordering a kit, cab, speakers and VRM kit in late April/Early May. (Tax return
)
And since this is my first try at an amp I've been looking at 5E3 schematics and layouts and options. I've put a bunch of pedal kits together and a couple guitars so I'm pretty comfortable with a soldering iron and have confidence I can pull it off. I'm not looking at any wild mods off the bat I want to stay pretty much stock kit for a starting point. The only add on would be the VRM.
The two speakers suggested where a Tone Tubby Low Wattage and the Chicago Blue. I'm guessing both are the Alnico choice but wondered about the differences. From the description the Low Wattage speaker might break up a little sooner than the Chicago Blue? Would that be a correct assumption? I'm not looking for allot of headroom but if I could squeeze a little out of one speaker over the other I'd be inclined to go that route. It's more important to me that I can get some of those classic 70's rock tones but a little headroom would be nice for versatility. So any input on speaker choice would be appreciated.
Thanks
