The Richter Amp 5E3 is great for many different types of music, and it works very well in the studio, at home, or at venues.  For those smaller venues, the 15 watts this amp produces is more than what you’ll need.  At low volumes, it puts out some very clean tones, but when you crank it up, it really shows you what it can do.  It goes from clean to edgy and back.

As with all Richter Amps, every 5E3 is handmade by Sara Richter.  While it’s not the most modern and high-tech amp, it is a very solid amp that delivers many different tones and sounds.  The Richter Amp 5E3 sells for around $750.

The Richter 5E3 amp is basically Richter’s updated version of the 5E3 produced by Fender.  It doesn’t have some modern features like reverb or effects looping, but it does have two input channels, three control knobs, and more.  You can get some great classic tweed tones out of it, even if it is a bit limited.  If you don’t mind skipping out on some of the newer additions to amps, this boutique amp may be what you need.

The KT77 has a lot of power behind it, and it features a normal and a bright channel, volume for each, and a master volume control.  It also has controls for presence, treble, and bass. The Richter KT77 delivers all the chime of a boutique tweed amp.

Finally, the Richter Supra-Luxe Amp is similar to the Richter 5E3 in that they’re both based on the 5E3 amp.  However, the Supra-Luxe is higher powered and sounds great for rock, blues, and jazz.  It has the power needed for a live gig but it also sounds great in the studio or at home.

The Richter Supra-Luxe 5E3 Tweed Deluxe 30W Boutique Amp is a narrow panel, 30 watt amp that is great for gigs since it can offer a nice amount of volume.  richter-supra-luxe-5e3-tweed-deluxe-30w-boutique-ampIt has very clean headroom and features some modifications over the original 5E3 Deluxe model, but that doesn’t mean it’s lost any of the reasons why that amp was such a hit.  Instead, this newer version builds on everything that made the original great.  It uses a circuit that’s based on the 5E3 circuit that was used back in the late 1950s. Every part in this amp is top quality and rated excellent or better.

The Richter Supra-Luxe 5E3 uses four different types of tubes.  It has one 12AT7, one 12AX7, one GZ34, and two SED Winged C 6L6GC tubes.  As far as speakers go, it uses a twelve inch Jensen Jet Electric Lightening speaker.  This gives the amp a great sound and amazing volume.  As far as controls go, the 5E3 features two inputs, one for high input and one for low.  Likewise, there are two bright inputs, high and low.  The amp also has volume controls for normal volume and bright volume, plus a tone knob.

If you’re thinking about taking this amp on the road, you’ll find that it fits in many vehicles.  It’s only 22 inches wide by 20 inches tall by ten inches deep, and it weighs just a bit less than 35 pounds.  Want one for yourself?  They cost between $1,125 and $1,500.
