How did it work out?

@@binface9 I liked this demo so much I bought the vintage Gretsch-branded equivalent for hundreds less and though it doesn't have as many features, it still sounds(and smells) amazing

Just note: The amp still must have a speaker load connected to it.

@@ProGuitarShopDemos Yes. Important point!!!!

Makin Some Noise by Tom Petty

Yes, you can also think of it as Open G without dropping the high e. 👍🏻

@@AndyDemos Hey thanks for responding! I can tell you I've been playing that riff all day yesterday and it has actually shredded a part of my finger, lol. So addictive! PS: I'm also getting my hands on that Supro amp as soon as I've saved up for it :)

In a 2x10...one can dream.

Andy likes the old vox wahs and just got a replica made of one recently too.

I believe they always mic with a Royer 121.

It's a relic from the early electric guitar days when people would stand behind their amp to play. It's not a great feature on a modern amp but it is historically accurate to the way the original supro amps were made

Nope, just a guitar face :0

Tom D Dubai I can't speak for this amp in particular, but I owned the 1622RT which has a very similar architecture and it took pedals extremely well. For recording, Supros new line of small amps are amazing. Fuzz sounded great, modulation even better, but the Supros natural breakup is why you'd want this amp. Probably the most dynamically rich clean tones I've ever created were on that tremoverb. Random pick attacks would generate this unique harmonic that I've never heard from before or since. I will say that the reverb on Supros are quite different than that of a fender or Vox so you may or may not like that. Also, overdrive boxes need to be tamed way way more than most other class A amps. It distorts easy.

Felix Blacksher thank you Felix

I have this exact amp and the cleans are beautiful at any level, but the breakup from the gain needs help from the cranking of the master level to distort the speaker (or whatever that magic is). So you need it loud for the juicy breakup, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sound good at low volumes, just not as good :) You'll have so much fun with this amp. I'm looking forward to trying out some pedals with it soon.

Bart Elsmore thanks Bart. I ended up finding a Stone Deaf SD8 at a phenomenal price a couple of years back when I was shopping for an amp. Love it. Hope the Supro works out well for you...on the eventual hit list once things stabilize a bit

Tom! Try Gain and Master at 10'o clock and treble on full and bass at 12'o clock... I use a a strat and Ds-1,Be-Od, Boss power stack and it Sounds awesome and is Bedroom Volume.

Agelesslink o face , he likey

Like an absolute boss

A lot of these riffs are just made up for the demo, thanks! Andy

I would if I had the money to blow. It's probably great for bringing over friends homes to jam, since it's probably pretty light.

How much is it???

$1000. A lot for such a small amp, but there really isn't much out there like it.

not totally outrageous. the super is $700.

Agreed nice but way too pricey for a tiny 5 watt amp...

TheShameofaNation nope , you'll take it and like it

"Way more" what? Watts? sure. Channels? sure. Tone and pleasure? maybe, but not sure.

You certainly could, but it’s all about what one needs. A US made 5 watt tube amp this size with these features is not easy to come by. It is a little steep, which is why I got mine used (near mint) for a few hundred less. It’s an amazing amp.

@@nicero870 how loud is it?

Jason T. it's the same price adjusted for inflation, old jason t dont get it, he has a joke job and is now complaining on the Internet wahh i didn't keep up with everyone else, save up or get a real job , no crying on guitar sites

Some folks can't afford expensive gear. No need to be so condescending about it. :P

actually, the price of these amps puts them in direct competition with hand wired single ended amps from several makers, these Supros aren't even hand wired PTP like the old ones. I'm afraid Jason is correct on this call, Supro has over-priced these amps!

Supro isn't necessarily trying to compete with VHT, Fender, or Marshall and their PCB amps like the Junior or Class 5. If you look at Fryette amps, for instance, or Diezel-or any other high-end amp that use PCBs for that matter-they're very expensive. Hand-wired 'PTP' (which can be a nightmare when done poorly, as vintage amps often were) isn't necessarily indicative of quality or prestige. Sometimes using circuits boards is actually pricier and more advantageous. In the case of an amp with multiple routing options, as well as a period-correct speaker and dedicated tube-driven spring tank, it's not going to be cheap unless it's made in Indonesia, and may in fact benefit from using PCBs. Tone King amps are an example of that. Despite being tonally based on vintage amps, they often have complex features. Mark Bartell knew that PCBs would help with that. I think people EXPECT Supro amps to be cheap because they use PCBs and were considered a more affordable brand when they were first introduced-or they are simply entitled individuals who want everything the way they want it and will whine about it if they don't get it. I can understand that, but the idea that "Supro likes the smell of their own farts just a little too much" is absurd just because an amp is not cheap. If the amp was cheaper, it would likely have compromises that many-including the new owners and designers-would not want to make. That's their choice. Calling them arrogant for it is ironically... arrogant.

No, that's just you.
