Supro · amplifier
The Supro 1605R 64 Reverb is a 5-watt 1x8 valve combo, one of the smallest amplifiers in the Supro range and part of the line recreating the company's 1960s designs. At 5 watts through an eight-inch speaker it is built for recording and practice, reaching full power-tube saturation at a volume that works in any room, which is the point of an amp this size. It includes onboard reverb, unlike the plainer 64 Super. Supro's heritage lies in the Valco-built American amps of the fifties and sixties, whose character is midrange-forward and raw rather than clean and scooped. It suits recording players and anyone wanting authentic small-amp breakup at low volume.
