Bruno Cowtipper 35
Bruno · amplifier
The Bruno Cowtipper 35 is a hand-built point-to-point boutique amplifier from Tony Bruno Custom Amps, sitting between the 22 and 45 watt models in the Cowtipper line. Like the rest of the family it is built on a classic American blackface style circuit, producing a smooth, warm clean tone with pronounced treble sweetness and a linear gain structure that stays predictable as it is driven. The 35-watt rating is a compromise between the small-room usability of the 22 and the clean headroom of the 45, giving enough power for most club stages while still breaking up musically. Onboard reverb with a dedicated tone control provides splash and body. It suits blues, roots, country and classic rock players wanting American-voiced boutique tone.
