Supro launches all-tube trio

US amp manufacturer Supro has introduced three new-all tube amp combos. 

The trio of new additions, alla available in the UK through JHS,  are the Supro Titan, a 50 watt 1×10 combo with reverb and tremolo, the Jupiter 1×12 combo with three position rectifier, and Rhythm Master a 1×15 combo with reverb and tremolo.

Supro Titan (1642RT)  (£1,229 RRP) Is a 50 Watt, 1×10″ tube combo intended for the gigging guitarist who needs a small size, yet high-power, vintage flavoured amp tube that can handle the output from a pedal board full of stomp-boxes, without the need for an effects loop. 

Combining the traditional, cathode-biased, 6L6 power section found in the high power Supro amps of the 60’s with the cabinet dimensions of Supro’s award-winning Tremo-Verb model, the Titan delivers unrivaled definition and projection in a remarkably compact, gig friendly package. Never sterile or clinical sounding, the Titan has a huge, warm, full bodied sound with enough volume to play any size venue. 

The Titan amp comes equipped with a US-made HP10 speaker, which was designed specifically, with a larger magnet than the CR10 and a hemp cone.

The Supro Jupiter (£1,329) is intended for the performing guitarist who needs a vintage sounding amp that can handle the output from a complex pedal rig. It features Supro’s switchable rectifier topology, allowing musicians to select 35-Watts (Class A) or 45 / 60 watts (Class AB) to suit the gig at hand. The 35 watt cathode bias mode uses Thunderbolt power amp topology for a harmonically saturated, tube-rectified sound. The 45 and 60 watt grid bias modes provide more volume and headroom as well as the faster transient response associated with Class AB power amps.

The switchable power amp topology of the Jupiter not only allows for players to change the texture and output volume of the amp but it also provides two very different, all-tube tremolo effects depending on whether Class A (cathode bias) or Class AB (grid bias) mode is selected. The cathode bias tremolo is vintage Valco/Supro all the way, where the overall depth of the effect changes along with the dynamics of your playing. The grid bias tremolo gives a much deeper, stronger and more pronounced throbbing effect. Since the tremolo is performed by modulating the bias of the output tubes, the reverb necessarily comes before the tremolo effect, for pure tube reverb and tremolo when both effects are combined.   

The Jupiter amp comes equipped with a brand-new, state of the art, USA made HP12 speaker that was designed specifically for the model.
