Brown Sound Limited Edition
This custom TONEX ONE delivers the amazing tones of the TONEX Brown Sound Signature Collections directly to your pedalboard. Picture performing with the rich tones from those classic albums as part of your stage setup. There’s no easier way than with TONEX ONE.
Available in three colours, these ultra-compact pedals fit anywhere on your board and come pre-loaded with 20 carefully created presets using Tone Models from all three Brown Sound collections. Each pedal unlocks the Brown Sound 78/79 collection along with your choice of one other Brown Sound Signature Collection
The amp: “The ONE”
At the heart of the Brown Sound 80/81 collection is “The ONE” — a meticulously crafted Marshall-style amp built from the ground up with the exact same spec as the infamous 1968 Super Lead serial number #12301, including crucial mods that capture the DNA of the early brown sound like no other amp model.
A big part of that sound comes from the Fat Cap mod, a custom tweak to the preamp’s second gain stage that increases low-frequency gain and creates that signature chewy midrange and hair on every note. Combined with a 50K mid pot(which shifts the EQ balance toward a more vocal, aggressive midrange), as found on the legendary #12301 Plexi, the amp punches with the exact presence and attitude heard on the earliest Brown Sound recordings.
Key changes included switching to a straight 1960B cabinet with G12-65 speakers, re-biasing the amp, and experimenting with lower Variac voltages (down to 68V) to add sag and harmonic complexity. Sylvania 6CA7 tubes likely contributed to the saturated mids and deeper sustain, while Franky’s hotter pickup gave the sound a moodier, more aggressive edge. The theorized addition of a switching system helped create a cleaner and stronger signal to the amp by removing effects when not in use. These captures focus on capturing that brooding tone—thick, harmonically rich, and emotionally charged.
