This Is the Zeppelin Sound

Supro's1696RT Black Magick Reverb electric guitar combo amplifier isengineered to replicate the highly customized Supro that Jimmy Page usedto record much of the early Zeppelin guitar tracks. Based on theacclaimed 1695T Black Magick combo, the Black Magick Reverb is evenbetter with a tube-driven spring reverb, a 2-band EQ, and a Mastervolume knob, for more sonic flexibility. And the two channels can be runindependently or in parallel for even more crunch and tone-shapingoptions. The Supro 1696RT Black Magick Reverb combo amplifier willinstantly take you back to the tones of "Good Times Bad Times" and"Communication Breakdown."

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 hugestack of screaming amps, in reality, much of those tones were conjuredfrom Jimmy's highly customized 1 x 12" Supro combo. The Black Magick is are-creation of that amp, down to the replaced speaker baffle from whenPage converted the amp from a 2 x 10" design. Crank this amp up and baskin those iconic sounds while enjoying touch-sensitive levels of grit.

Two powerful channels

Likethe original, the Black Magick boasts two separate channels with theirown inputs. On this new model, however, the channels can easily be runseparately or in parallel. The parallel option cascades the channelstogether for increased gain, tone shaping, and sensitivity. You can alsouse an additional A/B pedal to switch between the two channels fordifferent tones. And it's also possible to run two separate instrumentsthrough the Black Magick simultaneously.

Even more tonal options

TheBlack Magick sounds so good that just cranking it up and digging in iswell worth the price of admission. But the 1696RT also boasts a stellartube-driven tremolo, with double the speed range compared to itspredecessor. The trem's depth and dimension can be switched viafootswitch (not included). An uncommon pair of 6973 power tubes is whatdelivers the immediately recognizable midrange of the amplifier. And the1696RT is covered in black rhino Tolex that makes it visually stand outfrom most other tube combo amps on the market today.
