Is it your PJ version III? IV?rickenbackerkid wrote:I can't comment on the 5e3, by I'm a huge PJ fan.
They are essentially a tweed preamp straight from the 5e3, into a Marshall 1974x power amp section.
So as you can imagine, when you wind it up into a big cab or a powerful speaker it's a real rock sound, does a fabulous AC/DC type sound. Into a small speaker (I have a alnico Fender-branded eminence) it def. sounds tweedy in the way it breaks up. You can get a fair clean out of it, but compared to the break up sound, the clean is pretty bland, and there's no reverb or big warm bass like you might get from a amp with really good clean sound. it's a really great rock and roll amp in a practical form for gigging.

I'm pretty sure that my PJ is one of the first version. reasons being that it's clearly old and worn and thrashed, and it has the blue fender/eminence speaker. the name plate with serial, etc, etc is long gone.
