The sound of Jimmy Page...
Here we have a Valco Supro 5 watt recording amp with a 10" speaker - original and unmolested. I believe this one is 1955. It's tested and sounding better than words can describe. This is part of a collection and was displayed in a dry, climate-controlled enviroment. It was tested using a variac machine to slowly bring the voltage up to 110v over 10 hrs. It's original down to the bakelite chickenhead knobs. The leather handle is broken but complete and the tweed is worn but complete. The on light works. It has the original 2 prong power supply. Serial # X9838
National (Valco) produced Supros from 1935 - 1967. These amps are rare and sought after as Jimmy Page favoured them to record that signature Zeppelin tone.
A maxed out 5 watt Supro Tweed and a vintage Danelectro U2 is what we hear on many classic Zeppelin tracks. An important addition for any self-respecting studio.
I'm listing it as good to comply with Reverb's rigid system but it is in remarkable condition and plays like a dream.
Video of the amp being played available upon request for serious buyers.
