Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.85% — very similar

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Supro 1695TH Black Magick 25W Head is modelled on Jimmy Page's 1959 Supro combo, the amplifier responsible for most of the tones on Led Zeppelin I. It is a 25-watt all-tube Class A design running 6973 output tubes, an unusual choice that gives the instantly recognisable Supro midrange grind and unusually strong touch dynamics. Supro rate it as offering more gain than any other amplifier in their range, so it breaks up readily and rewards playing with the guitar volume rather than adding pedals. In head form it drives an external cabinet rather than the traditional Supro combo speaker. It suits blues, classic rock and garage players chasing late-fifties American amp character with genuine grind rather than modern clean headroom.
The Supro 1695TJ Black Magick is a variant of the Black Magick line, the range modelled on Jimmy Page's 1959 Supro combo that produced most of the guitar tones on Led Zeppelin I. Like the rest of the family it is a 25-watt all-tube Class A design built around 6973 output tubes, which give the distinctive Supro midrange grind and strong touch sensitivity, and Supro rate the Black Magick circuit as the highest-gain amplifier in their catalogue. Detailed independent coverage separating this particular variant from the other Black Magick models is limited, so the description here stays with what applies to the circuit as a whole.
