The Orange Rockerverb MKIII is a 100-watt tube amplifier delivering bright, articulate high-gain tone with integrated reverb. Its Class AB power stage and modern voicing provide responsive dynamics and excellent note separation. The Rockerverb MKIII appeals to rock and metal players.
The Supro 1696RTH Black Magick Reverb 25W Head takes the Black Magick circuit, modelled on Jimmy Page's 1959 Supro combo, and adds analog spring reverb, two-band EQ and a master volume for greater flexibility. It remains a 25-watt all-tube Class A design on 6973 output tubes, giving the characteristic Supro midrange grind and strong touch dynamics, and Supro rate the Black Magick as the highest-gain amp in their line. The master volume is the practical addition, letting the preamp be driven while keeping stage level under control, something the plain Black Magick cannot do. It suits blues, classic rock and garage players who want the Page-associated Supro voice with reverb and volume control built in.
