Fender EC Tremolux
Fender tweed amps of the 1950s like the Deluxe™ and Tremolux are known for the warm, rich, compressed tones of blues and early rock ‘n’ roll. Guitarists often turn the amp’s volume up high, and manipulate the guitar’s controls for a variety of sounds from pristine clean to swampy overdrive.
Rock legend Eric Clapton often uses a tweed Deluxe amp when he sits down to play traditional blues songs. Eric requested a special model with a couple of unique features: ‘50s era output tube bias tremolo, with a more “throbbing” pulse than later Fender tremolo circuits; and a switchable power attenuator to reduce the speaker’s output if desired. The EC Tremolux amplifier is designed and built to EC’s exact specifications, and is the perfect vehicle for inspirational tone in a variety of stage and studio settings.
This interesting variation of the ‘57 Deluxe amp is a must for Clapton fans, and for any player seeking the ultimate in moderately-powered, top-quality tube performance.
