(because you're pushing more air, that is...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zhivago Posted January 31, 2005 Members Share Posted January 31, 2005 Originally posted by Grubgoat Just remember that at 15 watts, cleans at loud volume will be hard to get. (You don't really need spanky cleans live to sound "clean", though). 4X12 may make it "louder", technically, but I think you're still gonna get some dirt. Which, of course, can be a great thing. And mashing the preamp and el84's with something like a treblebooster (I use Crispy Cremes) or a Super Hard-On especially, etc, will make it nice and creamy for solos, etc... hey thanks for the reply I like a bit of grit on my cleans, and I love the touch-response thing that starts going on at that point, using a nice tube amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ivor The Engine Driver Posted January 31, 2005 Members Share Posted January 31, 2005 I swear, the best small amp I've ever had the pleasure of playing through was a restored Supro Royal Reverb... was just amazing. Went back the next week to buy it -- but someone else already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jon Hiller Posted January 31, 2005 Members Share Posted January 31, 2005 Originally posted by bigtonemusic What is that stuff? It looks so clean. I don't see any cut lines. I must be some sort of moldable material. It's possible that it's a spray-on type of finish. The company that makes the speaker cabinets for me that I sell in my shop under the "Union Speaker Company" name has a spray-on finish that looks pretty similar. I know they can get it in black and white, and I'd assume that you could dye it if you started with pure white so that you could get a vintage or off-white shade. The stuff looks really nice when sprayed properly. Then again, the stuff that I've seen of Zinky's has been of a really high caliber anyway, so he's pretty much an artist in that respect, too, so he might just be exceptionally good at cutting and gluing vinyl. Whatever it is, you're right, it looks very clean. Zach, man, that's a nice looking amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TexGtr Posted February 1, 2005 Members Share Posted February 1, 2005 thats cool, but i want Magnatone reissues. 280 style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PB Wilson Posted February 1, 2005 Members Share Posted February 1, 2005 Now that this Supro is getting the attention of the masses, I recalled a pedal circuit based on an old Supro 16T. It is an amp emulator pedal (basically the designers copied the actual amp circuit and substituted the valves for JFETS, making it possible to cram into an effects enclosure) called the Supreaux by the guys at RunoffGroove. Anyway, cool amp Zach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted February 1, 2005 Members Share Posted February 1, 2005 Congrats Zach! You and Keeley apparently share a love for Supro's. He snagged one here at a pawn shop -can't remember which model now..but saw this one at Dirk's Vintage Guitars today. Enjoy the new amp!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LWatford-2 Posted February 1, 2005 Members Share Posted February 1, 2005 Any plans for Supro guitar reissues? I've always wanted a Dual Tone for some reason.

Members Bruce Bennett Posted February 3, 2005 Members Share Posted February 3, 2005 Originally posted by LWatford-2 Any plans for Supro guitar reissues? I've always wanted a Dual Tone for some reason. That would be very cool also... Yes, He is . I sent Bruce Z . A complete set of Guitar templates for the Dualtone already and I understand that he had one at this past show. He and I communicate on a weekly basis, but He has yet to tell me which other models he intends to build... even though He asked me to make up a set of templates for; the Jetsons, the Ozark, the Sahara and a mid 60s long scale "Jazz" bass. I posted a complete breakdown of all the spec. in the electric guitar forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members androodeetoo Posted February 3, 2005 Members Share Posted February 3, 2005 If it sounds as described I'm gonna sell my Matchless Clubman and Marshall 4x12 and buy two little Supro's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
