‘Model Gallery - HD Amp Models Super O Based on* Supro*S6616 With its single-ended 66 ouitput stage, unusual preamp circuitry. and oval 6” x 9” speaker, the Supro” S6616 of the late ’50s and early '60s—manufactured by Valco in Chicago— might seem an unlikely candidate for “classic amp” scatus. Yee more of the stuff of legend, Jimmy Page has admitted to using Supro® arap to record most of the frst wo Led Zeppelin albums. The only problem is, he never copped to which Supro model he used. Talk about ‘areal communication breakdown! Wind it up, and the S6616 offers juicy, brown overdrive that can sound like a raging stack when mixed with the track, yet with @ character all its, own. Reined in to clean volumes; it is beautifully spanky and crisp. And at all levels the 6° x 9” speaker yiekls nodes and peaks that contribute to an unusual and distinctive sonic voice that has come to be known as the Supro” sound. We don’t know if this is ‘the one’ or not, but it sure sounds like it to us! (Drogon pants not included.)
