Supro 1620RC Delegate Custom 25W 1x12 Combo

Supro · amplifier

The Supro 1620RC Delegate Custom is a 25-watt 1x12 valve combo built by hand in the United States, positioned as a premium model in the Supro line. At 25 watts in a single-twelve cabinet it sits between the small vintage-reissue combos and the higher-headroom models such as the Jupiter, offering enough power for club use while still reaching amp breakup at a workable volume. Supro's heritage lies in the Valco-built American amplifiers of the 1950s and 60s, known for midrange-forward character and strong touch response rather than the scooped cleans of contemporaneous Fenders. It suits blues, roots and classic rock players who want hand-built American amp construction in a practical gigging format.
