The Stamford is based on the Fender Brownface Deluxe (6G3) of the early 1960s.
Brownface Fender amps are coveted by collectors, and were only produced for a few years. They have been described as being somewhere between
a tweed and a blackface. One thing is for sure - they hit with a direct punch, and come loaded with a
bias wiggle tremolo which produces a smooth, deep and lush modulation. The amp can go from a tweed clean/dirty to a british style overdrive with the turn of the volume knob
The Stamford is a two channel 20W combo amplifier. Each channel has volume, tone and shared tremolo controls. The Stamford supports jumpering and as a result provides a blend of tone and gain from both channels.
Further voicings can be achieved by the negative feedback control on the rear of the amp.
Notable Deluxe players include John Fogerty, Neil Young and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
