Product information

The venerable Brownface Fender 6G3 Deluxe is lauded for its combination of Tweed era rawness and midrange with a bit of the early Blackface punch and response.

Often considered by many as Fender's "mini Marshall", the 6G3 Deluxe boasts a healthy 20 watts via a pair of 6V6 output tubes with a 12AX7 preamp front end. Normal and Bright channels feature volume and tone controls, with the bias modulation tremolo circuit tied to the Bright channel (speed and depth controls).

This is a largely original example complete with original transformers, speaker, and an unmodified circuit save for requisite service. The amp recently underwent a recap along with fresh tubes and a 3-prong power cord.

The original Oxford 12K5 speaker is a bit more tame than some of the modern aftermarket options, but delivers a sweet, chimey tone nonetheless.

**Please Note: All vintage amplifiers - regardless of service history - contain electronic components that will eventually require replacement or repair. This is often unpredictable and should be expected as a vintage amplifier owner. We are not responsible for additional service upon receipt. We also do not guarantee tube life.**
