I have the prototype Brown Face SuperAmp made in 1960 but parts are 1959 also the control layout is different left to right ….Bass Treble Volume / Bass Treble Volume Speed Intensity Presence …The Nicest Sounding amp I’ve Ever Heard …got it for $300.00 but the cab is from a Black face Super reverb and it has Huge single 15 “er in it as it is ,.it works Beautifully being pushed with this Amp
Why did they make the changes in the tonestack? How does that alter the sound or the function?
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)
