Used Fender TWEED TREMOLUX 5E9-A Vintage Tube Guitar Combo

This vintage 1960 Fender Tweed Tremolux 5E9-A delivers that unmistakable early-era Fender tone wrapped in iconic tweed styling, complete with the tremolo circuit that helped define an entire generation of guitar sound. Known for its warm breakup, dynamic response, and rich midrange character, this amp represents a sought-after piece of Fender history from the golden age of tube amplification.

Players chase the 5E9-A circuit for its expressive feel and touch sensitivity, where even subtle picking changes translate directly into tone. The tremolo on these is especially unique, offering a deep, pulsing modulation that feels organic and musical rather than mechanical. This style of amp has been favored by blues and rock players for decades due to its ability to move from clean sparkle to saturated grit without losing clarity or personality.

All of our used gear is tested in-store to ensure it’s performing properly, and we’re always buying, selling, and trading gear every day. Take a close look at all the photos to get a full sense of the amp’s condition, as small cosmetic details may not be fully described here.

This amp has a speaker that dates to 1968. It is not the original speaker, but it is a roughly era-correct Jensen "utah".

We sent the amp to a professional amp technician for some minor repairs. The details of that work are documented in one of the photos, please check there for that information. The amp is fully functional and sounding great! It comes with it's original tremolo footswitch, the original broken leather handle, and a bag with the old capacitors that were replaced. The power cable has been updated with a 3 prong grounded plug.
