40 Watts

Fender Super Amp ‘Brownface’, 1962

On October 17, 2021 /

Originally introduced as the Dual Professional in late 1946 and renamed in 1947, the Fender Super Amp started as a 20 watt, 2×10 combo, rising to a whopping 40 watts by 1962, and was discontinued in 1963 as Reverb-equipped models displaced several designs. Here we’re looking at a Fender Super Brownface amp, with the ‘brownface’ trim putting it directly between the ‘Blonde’ and ‘Blackface’ eras. (In the vintage amplifier world, the terms ‘Brownface and’ ‘Blackface’ – referring to the amp’s white lettering on a brown or black control panel – have no relation to what those terms mean in current political or cultural contexts).

The Fender Bassman 4×10 was used by countless professional and amateur musicians throughout North America – less so in Europe because of import duties and restrictions – and was the basis for many later classic amplifier designs. Notably, an English drummer turned music shop owner used this amp as the basis for his own designs, sold under the Marshall name.
