The Deluxe Tweed amp model is a 5E3. The 1x12 Deluxe Tweed Mix cab is the IR.
My next door neighbor was the fender factory bass player in Fullerton. We lived in the neighboring town of Brea. I was nine years old in 1965 and he gave me a 65 Strat and Deluxe Reverb. I was a young sports star of sorts so never got to fulfill my dream to play guitar until only recently. I still have the Deluxe Reverb though it needs some tender loving care. I gave the Strat away to a friend in high school in 72. One of if not the most bonehead decisions of my life. Doooooohhhhh! There is a lot of history in that 59 Deluxe. Way cool!

I had an earlier 50's Deluxe years ago. 5C3? Great amp. I also had a Victoria Tweed Deluxe with a Celestion Blue that sounded really good.
For some reason I have not had much luck dialing in the 5E3 model in the Axe II. I'll have to give it another go. I'd be curious to know how the 5E3 model in the Axe stacks up to the amp in the OP. Of course vintage amps can vary greatly...

@cobbler if the caps have never been changed under the cap pan
they are due also most all of the carbon comp resistors are drifting like mad now
tech in Austin said most of those amps are coming in for repairs and those things
are a part of the problem...
Caps are located under the cap pan and they can shock the snot out of you
if you are careful and do not touch them you could at least peek at them
and see if they re bubbling or leaking out...
Unfortunately since most of our manufacturing has been shipped out of the country,
we are eating it now for cost on those parts..
soon as they got out of the USA the price went up..
in a 65 they should be sprague caps the shelf life is 10 years on those
sometimes they dont leak look fine but after this long if they are original
they need to be changed..
Again they store voltage and will shock you if you touch them
there is foam under the cap pan that sometimes sticks too the caps
so when you lift it off its kind stuck sometimes they just lift right off.
I drain the charge on the amp before dicking around good way to get
knocked off the bench and or killed ..
but danger is my middle ..................................

Thanks, but I knew that. I am wondering about an Ultra Res version.
Soon. We are going back to the studio next month for an IR session that will concentrate on Fenders, 1x12s and other small amps and cabs.

Sorry to be a broken record but please think about doing some EVM-12Ls in 1 X 12 cabs, esp. open back cabs.
I still haven't heard any IRs that do justice to these types of cabs.
Thanks.

Yes, I loved the Victoria Deluxe I had with a Celestion Blue. That speaker is a great match with the 5e3 circuit.
I played around with the AxeII model today for the first time in a long time. Very happy with the results today, especially with a Tele. Really excited to hear that FAS is planning some new ultrares IRs from small Fenders.
