I found a 1962 Brown Super in rural Kentucky, and the amp sounds fantastic with its Fender Design speakers. The tremolo circuit is unlike anything I’ve heard — when set to a higher intensity, it has a Univibe-like quality that’s really unique. It’s a wonderful amp for sure! Check out the tremolo on this thing: [https://youtu.be/yGJx0jws2AQ](https://youtu.be/yGJx0jws2AQ)
I bought a 1961 Super amp in 1984 that had 1 – 15″ Utah speaker in it. I still have the ser# 00143. It was clean as a whistle. I didn’t realize (being 17 at the time) that it was supposed to have 2 – 10″ in it. Maybe the previous owner switched a Concert Amp guts to a Super Amp cab? Paid 175.00 at Voigt Music in Beloit Wisc.
Other speaker alternatives would be to find vintage black frame Jensen C10Ns or Celestion Vintage 10s for this amp. The old Oxfords used animal glue to suspend the voice coils. That kind of glue eventually dries up and the voice coil drops. You can get them reconed and it’ll sound pretty good using modern glues. I’ve heard and used both the C10Ns and Celestion Vintage 10s and they sound great.
Look up fender Browface Super the Amp that doesn’t exist…that’s the one I have. …got it for $300.00……Best amp ever
i have a 5G4 (yes 5) from 1960 and am looking for more info on it. anyone else have one?
