Cutthroat Audio – “Down Brownie” 1×12 Combo Amp – Based on Brownface Deluxe !

*Cutthroat Audio’s Down Brownie™ is based on the legendary 6G3 circuit used in the 1961-63 Brown Deluxe.  Known as the “mini-Marshall”, the 6G3 delivers a unique blend of warm, clean tones at lower volumes and quickly transitions into a very crunchy, yet smooth overdriven tone that is unique among its Brownface-era cousins. Not to mention the seductive & swampy bias-vary tremolo, found only on the Tweed Tremolux, Brown Princeton, Brown Deluxe and Brown Vibrolux.

Down Brownie’s two unique channels deliver classic rock tones in spades. The British channel has a decidedly “across the pond” tone, due to its JMP50 inspired preamp section.  The Brown channel is pure unadulterated 6G3 goodness, just as Leo designed it.  Pull the British volume knob to internally jumper the British and Brown channels.  Pull the British tone knob to switch in a warmer bright cap (great for single coils). Around back, there’s a rectifier switch (tube/solid state), negative feedback switch and ohm selector switch.

Here are a few of the features that set it apart from other amps in this category:

-Rich Mod II PPIMV (Post Phase Inverter Master Volume)

-British/Brown channel jumper switch

-Switchable bright cap on British channel

-Switchable rectifier (tube/solid state)

-Switchable negative feedback (6G3/5E3/JTM45)

-Ohm selector switch (4/8/16)

-External adjustable bias pot
