Supro 1606J 64 Super 5W 1x8 Combo
Supro · amplifier
The Supro 1606J 64 Super is a 5-watt 1x8 valve combo from the line recreating Supro's 1960s designs, and the plainer sibling of the 64 Reverb, which adds onboard reverb. At 5 watts through an eight-inch speaker it saturates its power section at volumes usable in any room, which makes it primarily a recording and practice amplifier. The simpler control set suits players who want the amp to do one thing well rather than offer options. Supro's heritage is in Valco-built American amplifiers of the fifties and sixties, characterised by midrange-forward, raw tone rather than the clean scooped voicing of period Fenders. It suits recording players wanting authentic small-amp breakup.
