Blue Lamp 310
A 5E7 Tweed Bandmaster replica with three 10-inch Alnico speakers and a bluesy crunch from its intentional output-transformer/speaker impedance mismatch.
About this amp
The Blue Lamp 310 reproduces the 5E7 Tweed Bandmaster circuit with three 10” Alnico speakers. A slight mismatch between the output transformer and speaker load drops its output to about 28 watts versus the matched-load version, producing a bluesy crunch with strong stage coverage for louder gigs. Hand-wired, point-to-point on fiberboard construction.
