Supro 1600R Supreme, circa 1961.
An amazing amp. Built around the Valco 6400 circuit, this version is quite different from the recent "re-issue" of the Supro 1600 Supreme which utilizes 6v6 power tubes. Modified to replace the expensive and difficult to find 6973 power tubes, a duo of tonally similar EL84's give this amp an exceptional gritty "break-up" perfect for classic rock and blues.
