Sultan Amp Head
The head-only version of the Sultan Amp, Headstrong's hand-wired reproduction of the 1961-63 Fender Brown Vibrolux.
About this amp
The Sultan Amp Head carries the same Brown-Vibrolux-derived circuit as the combo — 30 watts (20-watt build also available) with bias-vary tremolo across two channels — in a chassis-only head format. Fully hand-wired, with alnico speaker upgrades and matching extension cabinets available.
