Capturing and exceeding some of the best tones offered
by our favorite amp from Fullerton and our favorite
amp from England, the FTR 37 from 1 to 10 can produce
the most pure and bodied clean tones, to varying degrees
of medium and over-the-top types of complex and full-bodied
overdrive.
Coupled with the exterior switching/boost device, the
Switchazel, the flexibility available in both channels,
either separate or blended, offer an infinite array
of guitar tones rarely thought possible for the music
maker of today.
- 37 Watt, Class AB1/A
- Power Section - (4)6V6 GT
- Tube rectified
- 2 Discreet Channels with Reverb
- Push/Pull Mid/Gain boost
- Half Power Switch (drops output down to 18 watts)
Black, Cream, Forest Green, Purple, Plum, Red, Gold,
Silver, Royal Blue, Orange, Navy Blue
The 37 does for the 6v6 what the 33 does for the 84
type tones. Big blackface cleans in the verb channel
all the way up to great blues lead tones and more. THE
CLICK CHANNEL IS THE KILLER! This channel is a cross
breading of the best Fender tweeds and early Marshall
tones with some of Fred's special added magic. The amp
works as well through an open back 2-12 cab as it does
through a closed back 4-12 and delivers the goods big
time. NO PEDALS REQUIRED FOR LEAD TONES!!!
I only use gain pedals now when I am in a situation
where I must play very quietly. One by one most of the
effects have been put away for the live rig. I recently
did a tour with this head, the switchhazel, and a guitar
cable having the sound man do any echo or extra verb
out front. Simple, beautiful, and tone that would give
you happy feet. Thanks Fred!

I don't have anything that does what this does. Both
your amps live with me and Michelle (Branch)...sound
so f'in good...amazing.
--John Shank

I'm really diggin' your amp. I'm getting almost Voxy
tones in the studio. It's really lightening my load.
I'm using it with the Switchazel in my live rig with
Michelle and Lisa, and I won't leave home without it!
--Nick Lashley

Love the amp. This is the one that's going on the road
(with Jackson Browne).
--Val McCallum

This is an outstanding line of amplifiers - of the
best EVER made. They have their own unique personality,
but as important, bold and strongly
voiced as the very best of Vox, Marshall, Fender, etc.
I've got the aforementioned amps in my studio and have
spent many hours comparing and
working with Fredric testing his amps. I've used one
on every session since, and engineers and producers
always comment on how fantastic it sounds.
So what DO they sound like? Tonally they're very full-ranged,
and have the perfect balance of lows, mids and highs.
Gain-wise, wherever you set the volume the sound is
always inspiring: whether it be soft, clean and warm;
loud, bitey and aggressively overdriven; or anything
in between. You get a sound that makes you want to play
your guitar and is extremely responsive to your touch.
The reverb is huge and wonderfully smooth. Aesthetically
the
design is classy and the workmanship is superb inside
and out.
Fredric is extremely knowledgeable from years inside
countless amplifiers. This extensive experience along
with his openness, inquisitive nature, quest for perfection
and hard work has rewarded him, and all us seekers of
great tone, with this absolutely stellar line of amplifiers.

Knocked out…hardly use anything else anymore.
The Switchazel is permanently installed.

Love Rusty's sound on the record (recorded with 37
#2)
--Paul McCartney

Fredric Taccone is a super talented guy who has created
an amp that is as good as any amp on the planet. He
belongs in the same league as Dumble and Fischer. I
have played lots of Dumbles and a few Trainwrecks and
this amp is as good as either but definitely has it's
own sound and I love it.
The reverb channel in the amp reminds me of the best
BF Deluxe Reverbs ever made but much bigger and tighter
sounding...fills the room. Great cleans and a nice pushed
clean tone. The Click channel is sweet as hell and a
bit Marshally and Tweed. Very thick and round with infinite
sustain and feedback at will...it's very rich and alive.
The Reverb is the best I have ever heard, and is extremely
warm.
The D13 is as good as it gets and does what it does
very well. I am very lucky to have one.
--Steve Snider

Love the amp…made my day taking it out with Tom
(Petty). Check out the sighting in the DVD (close up
of ÷13 light logo)
--Scott Thurston

Gets the call for my live touring rig…love the
amp.
