Up for sale here is my beautiful Wienbrock ME-3 Pro hand-wired guitar amplifier. In essence, it is Wienbrock's meticulous take on the hot-rodded Tweed Deluxe including pre-linked channels and 6L6 power valves for a much beefed up sound. It sounds incredible with tons of headroom and full of vintage mojo when cranked up!

These were made in Yorkshire when Wienbrock was still active and retailed at over £1000. Sadly, Wienbrock are no longer trading and there aren't many of these around so it is quite a unique piece! It is also equipped with a NOS RCA 5V4 rectifier valve.

The amplifier is in superb condition and it is fully functional, having mainly been used in my home studio. Dimensions are 45x20x27cm (wxdxh including the feet but not the handle) and it weights 12kg.

If you are based around West London, I'd be happy to deliver it to your door. Otherwise, I'll be happy to safely package it for delivery.

Price is £549 including delivery. SOLD

Manufacturer's blurb:

Classic 1950's vintage American style valve rectfied amplifier, with a full 25Watts of soulful clean to sizzling saturation and sustain... features a single input with pre-linked normal and bright channels, a vintage/modern voicing on the normal channel and a master tone control... simple... effective.

In simple terms the ME-3 PRO is an ME-3 with twice the power, more clean headroom, twice the soul.

I have the Wienbrock Gringo,  its very similar to the ME-3 Pro but without the valve rectifier . . Fantastic Amplifiers - Rob Wienbrock is still around and is happy to offer help or advice . . . Just fitted 6V6's in mine and I prefer them to 6L6's  . . . Cracking amp, amazing build quality . . .  GLWTS

Thanks, mate. Yes, they really are brilliant amps but I just have too many and I am trying to just stick with two combos for now.

I want so badly.

susbemol

Go for it, it's even made in Yorkshire! All it takes is enough pork pie tokens.

Wow, that's a good price. Friendly bump!

As tempting as it is, I'm on a ration when it comes to pork pie tokens. But if it so happens to be around in a few weeks or so, then maybe I'll have some spare...

What cab are you using? Always been a combo man myself, but I've got a load of shows that this amp would suit really well!

susbemol

I'd been using it with a lovely walnut 1x12 loaded with a Jensen P12N but that cab has already been sold. I'm keeping the speaker in a combo.

Bigger bump . . . .This is a great amp !

susbemol

susbemol

Bump again

Price drop bump. Come on guys, there are people selling their home made attempts at amp making for similar prices as this properly built thing of beauty!

I'll put my hands-up and say that looks an awesome deal.

I've a couple of pedals, vintage Schaller fuzz and a RockBox Red Dog, I could trade. 
Would love to have that headroom on that circuit. My main amp is a Cornell Romany which is scrummy. That plus more is my thing.

susbemol

Thanks, @FastEddie. Not sure I'd have any use for those pedals but if you have any other stuff, maybe send us a PM?

FastEddie

I will have a look and see what I can sacrifice. 

susbemol

Cool, let me know if you find any more goodies.
