#Fender bandmaster reissue pro#

It's so little NFB we might as well omit the connection.ĥE5A Pro with a single speaker an an 8 ohm OT gets a 100k NFB resistor. It's a high enough value it's like zero NFB.

Well, It looks like Fender went with the 8 OHM OT, and they are using custom made Jensen P10R 2.6 ohm speakers, So much of the Bandmasters sound was the old Jensen Speakers. It would be interesting to see the schematic of the new bandmaster and see the changes. Otherwise exactly the same.Īs I said before, there are so many people building clones of these amps and they all go by the schematics, and the schematics are not accurate. The Pro 5E5A and Super 5F4 are the exact same amps except they have a 4 ohm OT for the Super and the 8 ohm OT for the Pro. So the only difference between the 3 amps is the Bandmaster 5E7 has the 10 Meg Feedback Resistor and a OT designed for the 3 speakers. Many of these guys making the re-issue amps would go by the old Fender schematics and not study what was actually used in the amp from the factory back in 1959. And the Pro 5E5A schematic shows a 10K resistor from the PT to the Sel Rectifier but the Pro Amps have the 6.8k just like the Super and Bandmaster. All the 5E5A Pro and 5F4 Super amps have the 4.7Meg Feedback resistor which is close enough to the 5 Meg value. Both the Pro and the Super have the 4.7 Meg resistor even though the Pro 5E5A schematic shows a 5 Meg resistor. The only change on the Bandmaster is the 10 Meg Feedback Resistor. The Pro 5E5A and Super 5F4 are exactly the same amp right down to the resistor values. They never mentioned the Bandmaster 5E7, Super 5F4 and Pro 5E5A are all the same amp circuit, it would have explained to people the size of the amp. The old stock bias cap was a 100uF/25v and you can use the 100uF/100v cap for replacement. When they say they installed larger filter caps they probably used 20 or 22uF in place of the 16uF Filter Caps. They did not mention or show what speakers they were using, or did I miss something As far as these re-issue amps go, there is nothing like the real amps.
