5F4 Super (1955-1960)





Harvard 5F10 (1955-1961)

Supposedly somewhere between a Champ and Deluxe. Sounds appealing, so eventually I'll build it.





Twin 5E8-a (1955-1957)

Reissued by Fender (for a ridiculous price), but a great amp nonetheless:

Deluxe 5E3 (1955-1960)

Classic amp (well, all vintage Fenders are, but this one is pretty well-known). Although you generally see the 5E3 mentioned for giving up the goods at lower volumes, it has a wonderful clean sound as well. Really versatile amp due to the interactive volume controls. With humbuckers it can use some cap-tweaking, but with single coils it's pure bliss in stock form.
