Members pdubs410 Posted July 15, 2005 Members Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'm wondering where we will be able to get these things?! I have a Supro Royale Reverb...it's the best overdub amp on the planet. It's not very loud, but if you want to cut through a mix, play through one of those! I love my Vox and my Fender, but that amp has a little special place in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chuck Mahar Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hi guys - hey Aaron! I ended up re-acquiring #013 yesterday if anyone's interested... I can also make orders for Supros or Zinkys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted August 5, 2005 Members Share Posted August 5, 2005 The amp sounds a lot like a Blues Junior. I have a Machrone modded tweed one I love a lot. I'd love to try that Supro and compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members corso Posted August 6, 2005 Members Share Posted August 6, 2005 Originally posted by zachary vex dunno what they'll be in the stores for. i think bruce said they're retailing around $1200.00, so i imagine they'll be somewhere around $800-$900? dunno... for awhile they'll be full price because nobody can get them! he said that white on white is a one-of-a-kind piece. i guess the regular colors are on the website, suprousa.com. They're gonna make a million dollars. That thing is the most, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wacopacco Posted August 6, 2005 Members Share Posted August 6, 2005 I love those Zinky Supro's. The local store has one just like that one zvex bought, only in brown. Takes pedals EXTREMELY well. And is a loud mother too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bruce Bennett Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 Our new Sahara just arrived and it is AWESOME. Still waiting on the Trem-o-lectric ( the one photoed a couple posts up) but was told it would be here within the next week or two. I'm still knee deep in the "guitars" project. I have some VERY cool things cooking, hopefully BZ will like what I'm doing for him. I'm planning to send him two prototypes .. one is completely vintage retro and the other... the NEXT generation Supro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members butterknucket Posted November 2, 2005 Members Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hey Zach, I've wanted to check those out for a while but I can't access that part of Bruce's website. Their webmaster can't figure out what's going on either... Details on the amp???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members papa taco Posted November 2, 2005 Members Share Posted November 2, 2005 That Supro Sahara looks like a swanky ride. What's the latest on these things as far as production, clips, dealers....? taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chriss Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Can a 15 watt amp actually cut through the mix of a pretty loud 4 piece band? Or is it just for recording and "quiet" gigs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members threm Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Oliver Archut, the TAB-Funkenwerk mic pre guru, had a company called Jester that around `98 made the Oahu (Supro type) amp. I tried one and it was a great little amp.http://www.oliverarchut.com/"The Valco/Jester Oahu JU28 1x10 ($465 list) is an all tube guitar amplifier, with a simplistic, straight forward preamp, two channels with separate volume master tone knob and 16.5 Watt class A output power. 16.5 Watts delivered by two power tubes (originally 6973's) in an Class A mode with cathode coupled feedback. It used one 12AX7 preamp tube, one 12AX7 in the phase splitter and a 5Y3 rectifier. It had 4 inputs: treble/normal for each of the two channels, and a tone control.""Oahu Amp Line was reincarnated and updated by Jester Enterprises, Inc. Available as a head also. As an option, we offer the Oahu with 6V6 tubes, which changes the overall tone to a Supro-like sound. (The only technical difference between a Valco Oahu and Valco Supro10" were the output tubes and covering.)2"Between May and August of '97 we tracked down eight more Oahu amps. Only one was still in original condition, so we Valco discontinued the amplifier production in the early 60's. They were responsible for the Supro (most Oahu amps are identical to Supros, except covering and output tubes), some of the Gretsch amps, some Silvertones, etc. The name Oahu wasn't in use or trademarked so we filed for a trademark and decided to reproduce this incredible amp, upgraded in mechanical design and with a few more options."http://www.amptone.com/under20wamps.htmhttp://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data/Jester/Oahu-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members came2play Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hey guys, I posted early on that I bought the first one (Sahara) (#13). Anyway, I ended up selling it back to the guy I bought it from because at the time, I couldn't justify it when I already had a killer amp. It only had about three hours of play time on it and it sounds absolutely sweet. I was in his shop yesterday and he still has it, so it's still up for grabs. His name is Chuck & his # is 530-894-2228. If you're interested, this is a great chance to snag it since I haven't seen any more around. c2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
