Today we’re hitching a ride on the Comet, from Supro Amps. The 1610RT Comet is a scorching-hot 1x10 combo amp with onboard tremolo and reverb. The power amp section of the Comet consists of a single 6L6 tube with a switchable plate voltage that’s adjustable to six or 14 watts, controlling the point at which the amp breaks up and enters the red zone. The 6 -att setting is ideal for practice situations, giving more breakup at lower volumes, while the 14-watt setting is a more robust voicing with more headroom and power. The 12 o’clock position on the Volume knob is the tipping point, with everything before it offering up sparkling cleans and everything after it serving fistfuls of crunch. Much like most Class-A amps, the Comet’s power breakup tones are drenched in harmonics and tube compression, outperforming overdrive pedals with ease. The Comet includes an authentic tube-driven tremolo section, along with a real-deal reverb tank, with enhanced versions of each. Unlike Supro’s other amplifiers, the Comet wires its tremolo section before the reverb tank, allowing a wider range of both effects. This reversed configuration makes the Comet the king of any recording studio it lives in. And just like all the other Supro amps, the Comet is designed and assembled using high quality components in New York, USA.
