Brookfield Tube Audio Americana 40w 1x12" Guitar Amp Combo
Brookfield is the creation of Hobart amp wizard and audio engineer Reuben Hopkins. Mr Hopkins' standard method is to handmake beautiful amplifiers to order, inspired by the classic creations of 1955-75 but updated with some clever modern functionality and robust road-ready hardware. The Americana takes the early Deluxe Reverb amps as a starting point, but then adds moooore. Firstly, more gain: you can get a crisp Fender-style clean out of it, but with the separate input volume and master volume controls, you can push it into a creamy Tweed-style dirty clean or even a growling overdrive. Then, add the switchable boost in, and you're really cooking. The midrange control is also a little hidden gem: at zero, you get a Blackface style scooped sound, or you can wind in a punch of Marshall-ish midrange push and growl as you wind it up. Add in a lovely valve tremolo, and a reverb with way more sploosh on tap than strictly required and you've got yourself plenty to play with. As with all Reuben's stuff, this is fully point-to-point handwired on turret boards with the best components going around. He builds the cabinets by hand too, made with proper pine for maximum tight tonal juiciness. Ameri-cana you resist it?
