Supro 1968RK Keeley 1x12-inch 25-watt Tube Combo Amp

Serial Number: 2961

The Perfect Combo for Pedal-crafted Tones

Designed in collaboration with Keeley Electronics, the Supro 1968RK Keeley Custom 12 is the follow-up to the company’s top-selling 1970RK Custom 10. This tube combo amplifier sets an amazing sonic foundation for your guitar tone. And with input from the pedal masters at Keeley, it’s the perfect platform for your pedalboard. The Custom 12 has everything guitarists have come to love about Supro amps — high-input headroom for dynamic tone, signature midrange girth that's always appropriate, and a touch-sensitive, harmonically rich response. Its 6V6, Class A power section drives 25 watts into a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker, delivering a British-voiced sound that does justice to complex pedal-crafted tones. Complete with a 2-band EQ, a transparent effects loop, and a master volume control for accommodating any room, the Supro Keeley Custom 12 combo is an extremely versatile tube amplifier.

Tailor-made for your pedalboard

Why do certain effects pedals sound better with some amps than they do with others? There are a lot of factors, and Supro and Keeley took them all into account with the Keeley Custom 12 combo. It has very high-input headroom, which means your boost and drive pedals won't produce unwanted muddy preamp distortion. You can drive the preamp tubes if you want, though — just crank the input volume and roll the master volume back to taste. A solid-state rectifier bolsters the headroom while giving you faster transients and more output power than a tube rectifier can traditionally provide. Also, to the benefit of your pedalboard, the custom speaker is voiced for balanced tone that accurately reflects your tone choices, while also sounding incredibly vibrant.

Celestion G12M-65 Creamback delivers classic British tone

Ask any guitarist — the speaker in your combo or cabinet plays a huge role in your tone. The amp wizards at Supro know it, too, and that's why they loaded the Supro 1968RK Keeley Custom 12 combo with a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker. Patterned after Celestion's legendary Greenback, this 12-inch speaker delivers plenty of British-tinged warmth, with outstanding power handling to ensure adequate clean headroom for your pedals. The cabinet is deeper than a vintage Supro 1 x 12-inch cab, adding to the powerful low end. Even with the rest of the band at full throttle, you can feel the Keeley Custom 12 right in your gut.

Transparent effects loop for routing flexibility

With their high input headroom, most Supro amps are just fine with your effects being run into the front end. To make the Keeley Custom 12 combo as flexible as possible, this Supro packs a transparent effects loop for your time-based effects like delay and reverb. It's also a great place for a boost or EQ pedal, bolstering your post-preamp tone before it hits those glorious 6V6 power tubes.
