The DELUXE55 is our all-analog homage to the iconic Fender® 5E3 Tweed Deluxe of 1955. It features a complete valve amp signal path, miniaturized and meticulously replicated with transistor-based circuitry, allowing this compact pedal to perfectly emulate the sound, feel, and unique personality of one of history's most distinctive combos.

The DELUXE55 faithfully reproduces the full spectrum of the Tweed Deluxe amp circuit's celebrated sounds. From the articulate tones at the edge of breakup to robust lead sounds and intense, near-bursting fuzz, this straightforward tone is versatile across genres. Its warm yet incisive, gentle yet forceful qualities, along with its inherent compression and highly reactive overdrive, made the Tweed Deluxe a favorite among players. The DELUXE55 encapsulates this raw, underappreciated essence. It may not be the epitome of sophistication and polish, but it certainly delivers results with flair and a wealth of character.

This pedal offers a simulation of 6V6 power amp overdrive, valve rectifier sag, coarse phase inverter distortion, and the rich, gritty tone of the Tweed Deluxe's unique preamp, complete with various valve types. The DELUXE55 is ready to integrate into any setup, providing the full experience of one of the most singular vintage amps in a single pedal.

Beginning with an authentic Tweed Deluxe, we embarked on a thorough process of testing and measurement to fully grasp the intricacies of the circuit. Subsequently, we re-engineered our all-analog Amp Recreation circuitry to replicate the precise dynamics of this amplifier. The DELUXE55's push-pull output stage distorts identically to the 6V6 power amp of the original. We've also incorporated a reactive load to emulate the interaction between the amplifier's power section and speaker, an essential aspect of the valve amp's "feel". The cathodyne phase inverter and the distinctively unconventional preamp design have been equally faithfully reproduced, down to the TONE control that increases gain as it is turned up.

The DELUXE55's Amp Recreation circuitry includes a PREAMP switch, simulating the effect of exchanging a 12AY7 preamp valve for a 12AX7 – a favored modification by Tweed Deluxe enthusiasts. This switch shifts your tone from a clear, defined crunch to a warmer, more saturated sound, culminating in a dense fuzz when all controls are maxed out.

For an Amp Recreation pedal to be practical in a contemporary setup, we've outfitted the DELUXE55 with our Post EQ circuit. Positioned after the Amp Recreation circuitry, this filter ensures seamless integration with conventional amplifiers, modelers, power amps, and cabinet simulators.

Crafted in the UK to stringent specifications and encased in a robust stainless steel and aluminum chassis, the DELUXE55 is built for the rigors of touring, consistently delivering the classic Tweed amplifier tones night after night.

Please note: the Deluxe55 is powered by a mains adaptor only (not included). We’ve dispensed with the usual 9V battery option, both to save space and to allow us to adopt a high-current approach, yielding lower noise levels and superior tone. Origin Effects pedals are designed to deliver impeccable performance using a range of power supplies.

We recommend you only use a regulated power supply specifically designed for guitar pedal applications as power supplies which do not have sufficient internal filtering can result in unwanted noise.
