Iwas always pleased with my Hot Fudge amp, that I decided to build the heart of that circuit into a 5E3 chassis and cabinet. Rather than the standard 1x12 configuration for the 5E3 cabinet, I opted for a 1x10. What can I say? I love 10-inch speakers! And the 5E3-sized cabinet is large enough to keep things from being box-y. I'm really pleased with this little fire-breather.
