Supro 1695TH Black Magick 25W Head
Supro · amplifier
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.
