The '64 Super is a reissue of the iconic 1x8 combo made by Supro in the early 60s. With a single volume knob-and nothing else-the Super lets you hear the full tonal range of the tube preamp found in vintage Supro amplifiers. The purposeful absence of EQ controls in this amp’s original design eliminates the passive components that inevitably weigh down the raw power coming from the preamp when a tone knob is included in the circuit. The no-frills, high-gain preamp featured in the Super feeds directly into a Class A, 6V6-equipped, single-ended, 5-Watt power amp that dates to the company’s pre-war origins as one of the first American tube amp manufacturers. Now featuring an 8-inch Jensen C8R speaker for the perfect balance between at-home tone and recording studio ripping.

Awesome 😃👍🎸🎶

holy smokes that TONE!!!!!!!!!!

[@tonewall1]

P90.

[@HamzaVLOGs]

@@tonewall1 yea, I've got some guitars with 'em, they go great with the Jensen P12Q in my Deluxe Reverb!

[@neilmurphy9926]

These are built like a tank, dont be fooled by the 8inch jenson this amp is a keeper

[@whatskraken3886]

8" jensons are amazing

[@vonslagle]

I love my Thunderbolt

[@stagnatic]

How does this one compare to the previous version? These are great, always wanted one, but will now contemplate this vs. the earlier one. In all the literature, it was hyped that the speakers in the Super and Reverb model were scanned at a lab and specially produced. Question is, would this rereleased version be an upgrade or downgrade from the ss8?

[@Vaughn6886]

I have the SS8 version and I don’t plan on switching. It has fuller mids to my ears and has a raunchier breakup. (At least from what I can tell from the audio samples I’ve heard) I love mine as is

[@Lowtech14]

It’s a sidegrade. The SS8 has a lower mid fatter tone, the Jensen has a high end sparkle focus and fewer lows. It also has a touch of fizz when cranked. Not better not worse just different

[@starkickermusic2100]

Does the tone map come with GPS? Just bustin Supro's chops a little! Thanks for the vid!

[@Supro_USA]

😂

[@forrestw.6704]

When did Zero start shredding?

[@redpillpusher]

could you use a tube pre-amp with eq pedal with this for the purpose of adding in some more tone control?

[@Supro_USA]

Yes, that's totally doable!

[@jerryyeaaah15]

The jensen equipped one is certainly more vintage “super” sounding tbh，but I hope Supro still offers the ss8 equipped model as an option because that speaker is killer （and if I remembered it right you guys put alot of effort into the making of that speaker ）tight and fat sounding，together w the amp its a really good modern take on a classic amp！！！

[@sandrosadhukhan]

Hi, is the SS8 speaker in the version preceding this one?

[@jerryyeaaah15]

@@sandrosadhukhan yeah thats one totally badass speaker

[@sandrosadhukhan]

@@jerryyeaaah15 I prefer that to the new one as well. Although it's difficult to find the right overdrive pedal for it since the sound has already a lot of mids. Have you had any luck pairing the supro 1606 with any pedal to play at lower volumes? Thanks for replying

[@kallepersson832]

@@sandrosadhukhan I own the SS8 version. I've tried it with a few different overdrive pedals and found that the Seymour Duncan 805 does a really good job at lower volumes. The built-in EQ of the 805 gives me all the tone shaping possibilities that I need.

[@sandrosadhukhan]

@@kallepersson832 Hey thanks Kalle, greetings from Kolkata. Will definitely try one out.

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Is it loud enough? I have a nice fuzz pedal and an extreme metal pedal.

[@sandrosadhukhan]

This ain't the amp for those kinda sounds

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

@@sandrosadhukhan Now that I’ve had him for a couple months, the mentioned pedals sound the best. And it LOUD !!!

[@sandrosadhukhan]

@@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241 which pedals are you using? I have it for years. It sounds nice loud. But definitely not a pedal platform amp.

[@spazzriff_appreciator]

ok john mclaughlin ok

[@HashiAkitaPuppy]

LOL, sells Supro on You Tube, but plays Mesa Boogie on TV, nice.

[@buck7477]

Please tell me it’s not made In China!

[@vividvulpe9842]

Parts may be, but it is assembled in the states, NY

[@neilmurphy9926]

@@vividvulpe9842 no bro Chinese built ,I thought the same,to be fair its built like a tank and the tones you hear here are there in the amp its a lot of dough but it records great and so touch sensitive, and really quite hiss wise at full volume

[@vividvulpe9842]

@@neilmurphy9926 word. I definitely will be avoiding buying a Chinese manufactured product. I will consider Fender made in Mexico, Rivera made in US, and Marshall made in England

[@neilmurphy9926]

@@vividvulpe9842 I understand honestly nothing feels cheap on this amp compared to the vox line up I have an ac30 and 15 the cabs are not wood and the inside looks like a space ship ,I thought this was usa made it had the price tag 679 uk pounds but its Chinese built sadly great tone though

[@jeffsimslmt]

Your speaking skills are very good. You have the talent to play, yet your riffs demonstrating the amp aren’t that musical. Instead of playing so many notes, or quantity, I’d suggest a few more meaningful notes, or quality. You’ll sell more amps if you slowed down young man. Too many notes.

[@sunsparkle8443]

Quit it with the back handed compliments.

I’m sure he needs advice from you like a moose needs a hat rack

Why don’t you demonstrate for us?
