The Full Supro Sound

The Black Magick Reverb Head embodies the all-tube snarl and sweetness that define the Supro sound. Featuring analog spring reverb,2-band EQ, and a master volume knob, the Black Magick Reverb was designed with maximum flexibility in mind. Two independent preamp channels can be linked together using the "1 + 2" input jack to obtain fat tone, while utilizing only Input 2 will yield a more agile sound.The Black Magick Reverb's 3-spring reverb pan is driven by both channels and then summed with the dry signal just before the master volume control. An updated, tube-based LFO circuit provides bias-modulated output tube tremolo with double the speed range of the original Black Magick. Also available in combo format.

All-Tube Sweetness

Class A power amp utilizing a matched pair of 6973 tubes and a custom-made Supro output transformer with 16-ohm, 8-ohm and 4-ohm output options.Plus a 3-spring reverb pan and updated, tube-based LFO circuit,providing bias-modulated output tube tremolo with double the speed range of the original Black Magick.

Premium Look and Feel

Our custom Black Rhino Hide tolex, Supro Silver/Black grill cloth, white welting, and our custom Supro Arrow design on the head cabinet create premium feel and lifelong durability.

The Jimmy Page legacy

For rock fans, the guitar tones on Led Zeppelin 1are some of the most revered in history. While they sound like a huge stack of screaming amps, in reality, much of those tones were conjured from Jimmy's highly customized 1 x 12" Supro combo. The 1696RTH Black Magick Reverb head is a re-creation of that amp, in a head format that allows you to choose whatever speaker configuration works best for you.Crank this amp up and bask in those iconic sounds while enjoying touch-sensitive levels of grit.

Two powerful channels

Like the original, the 1696RTH Black Magick Reverb boasts two separate channels with their own inputs. On this model, however, the channels can easily be run separately or in parallel. The parallel option cascades the channels together for increased gain, tone shaping, and sensitivity.You can also use an additional A/B pedal to switch between the two channels for different tones. And it's also possible to run two separate instruments through the Black Magick Reverb simultaneously.

Even more tonal options

The1696RTH Black Magick Reverb sounds so good that just cranking it up and digging in is well worth the price of admission. But the 1696RTH also boasts a stellar tube-driven tremolo. The trem's depth and dimension can be switched via footswitch (not included). An uncommon pair of 6973power tubes is what delivers the immediately recognizable mid-range of the amplifier. And the 1696RTH is covered in black rhino Tolex that makes it visually stand out from most other tube amp heads on the market today.
