Fender Pro 5C5 preset
Verified · 85/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Fender Professional 5C5 is a transitional tweed-era Pro model, refining the 5B5 circuit with updated component values as Leo Fender iterated toward the definitive 5E5A design. Running two channels with 6L6 power output, the 5C5 provides more clean headroom than the Deluxe models while sharing the warm, harmonically rich tweed character of the era. The 5C5 designation marks it as a mid-1950s intermediate design, rarely discussed independently but important in tracing the development of the Pro platform through the tweed years. This entry represents the general 5C5 without a specific document suffix.
