Since launching the Brownie 5 a few months back, I've been inundated with requests/orders for f-style SE amps with both reverb and tremolo in a PR sized box with a 12" speaker, so many in fact that I've now added the model permanently to my lineup.
It's the classic AA1164 front end bolted onto a SE output stage, capable of running 6V6, 6L6, 5881, EL34, and KT66 - puts out approx 6w clean. As stock I provide the amp with a 6L6 but you can have any of the others if you wish. The reverb section is standard BF Fender but the bias tremolo is tweaked to work with a cathode-biased output stage (yes, it still wobbles the OP valve).
Built using Hammond TXs, Jupiter Vintage Yellows tone caps, carbon comp/film resistors, cloth wire, aluminium chassis, WGS G12Q or 'Black and Blue' speakers, and available in a choice of tolex/grille options.
Pictures below of the first one off the bench, this guy went for Teal tolex/wheat cloth with a black faceplate and witch hat knobs. I even had enough tolex left to make a matching reverb bag!
The boards below are not PR6 but for PR18/PB16 builds (one is for
@babones ) but are there for reference.
Starts at £1199, many upgrades available inc NOS valves, padded soft cover, and tilt back legs.
Cheers
