Tungsten Oxnard 12 1x12 Combo Amp - Tweed
The Tungsten Oxnard 12 combo amp is very much like a vintage Fender Tweed Deluxe 5E3 (or the Tungsten Cortez), but with a gradual taper volume control and a different spec output transformer. Â It's a great pedal amp at half volume, with wild 5E3 at full volume.
The Oxnard has the same controls as the Crema Wheat & Cortez, a single Tone knob, with Bright and Normal Volume controls, and four inputs. It's very much like the 5E3, but with a gradual taper volume control. Crank this amp up, and open up the tone control for full bodied vintage overdrive. It ships standard with a 12" Scumback J75 and Mercury Magnetics transformers. It also includes a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes and 5Y3 rectifier, and because this amp is cathode biased, swapping power tubes is just a matter of plugging them in.
Adam loaded this one with Sozo blue molded capacitors and used a 5751 in V1 for just a touch more gain than the 12AY7 while still remaining pedal friendly.Â
There are two channels, NORMAL and BRIGHT, and each has a low and high input. The BRIGHT channel give you a bit more highs, as well as a touch more low end.
So, how exactly is this amp different from a Tungsten Cortez? Â Well, other than the gradual tapered volume, it uses a custom Mercury Magnetics output transformer that Adam custom spec'd with a bit more iron giving the Oxnard more headroom and less compression. Â It doesn't saturate as much as the Cortez when it overdrives giving it more definition and dynamic range. Â It also uses the Scumback J75 as opposed to the Weber T12Q alnico used in the Cortez.
