Supro Unknown

Made in 1964, found in Premier Guitars in Portland OR for $275! Someone had put reissue Jensens in it and rebuilt power section. I understand Sears distributed them as a beginner/intermediate model. Very cool tweed grill cloth with a gray denim look to the outside of the amp. Has 4 inputs, bass, accordian (?!), treble, and guitar. It 15 watts.

This thing has tone to the bone. What is it with these amp emulators? Screw that. This amp only has one sound=good. I can crank it up and it just wails. These are very loud 15 watts. Played in many medium small clubs and it is perfect. I have a Fulldrive 2 overdrive to beef it up and bring out some of the treble (can get bassy if you let it), a Mutron Phase 2, a Ross Flanger, and a re-issue Deluxe Memory Man. I play rock and experimental music. Save your money for other things and buy this amp. Picks up radio stations, but who cares? No one hears it live. Also, the radio stations make for interesting conversation.

Had a bad tube socket when I got it. It would hiss and the power would drop dramatically. Got it replaced, a tune up, and had some wiring replaced for $63 bucks. That was 6 months ago and no problems since. It's an old amp. Don't drop it or bang it around and you'll be fine.

Long out out business. The nice thing about point to point wiring is that everything can be replaced for ever. Try getting parts in 35 years for your Axis Line 6 computer-amp-o-rama-deluxe.

You cannot go wrong with one of these if you like tone but don't have a lot of cash. You should not buy this amp if you want crystal clear sounds, or play metal. But for rock or blues, it wails like a banshee. Can't say enough good about it for me. I feel like I got away with something buying an amp for this price. If you have or appreciate these amps or know any info about the company or whatever, feel free to email me.
