FS/FT - Wienbrock ME-3 Pro Head - PRICE DROP!!! £395

What's Hot

edited February 2014 in Amps £

Up for trades is this lovely Wienbrock ME-3 PRO head. Wienbrock are a tiny British 'boutique' amp company building p2p handwired guitar amps. I am interested in P90 equipped Gibson's, Firebirds or something else.. What have you got??? Could be tempted by a Plexi style amp too or maybe an ISO cab or studio equipment? Feel free to make me some offers :)

Anyway here is some info :


ME-3 PRO is a 50's vintage-voiced, valve rectfied head with lots of punch and clarity. 2 Volumes,1 normal & one bright. Balancing these 2 controls gives huge scope for tonal experimentation. 1 Tone control, Vintage/Modern-switch. 100% all valve design.

19 Watts of pure 50s tone! ;)

Here is the Wienbrock ME-3 PRO :

    I've a short scale 56/8 Gibson Les Paul junior I'd trade with some cash my way. It's been refinished and refretted. Pm me if you want me to send pics.
    Regards, Dave.

    I used to have one of these, traded it for a Marshall, which i still have. But i always liked the Wienbrock. Mine looked the same but was just an ME-3 (put marked as a Pro), running a pair of 6V6's for 18w but the Pro should be running 6L6's for 30w

    Can you confirm what Valves this one has??

    ah, that was my amp before Pete had it. Sounded lovely, Rob had no ME-3 faceplates in stock when he made it for me, so used an ME-3 Pro faceplate. Later on, I got an ME-4, with 4 6L6s, so didn't need the ME-3 any longer

    I think I got him to voice it with less mids, but still best used with a Celestion Gold or some other Alnico driver I think.

    Check what phase splitter valve it has, I might have put in a low-gain one, and I've since found they don't last as long, and hurt the tone when they start to deteriorate.

    It went back to Rob whilst i had it, he re-valved it and upgraded the tone circuit to his new 'standard'. If i has spare cash i'd buy it back!

    Would you be interested in a road-worn (for real) Strat?
