Up for sale, a 2016 Supro Black Magick 1695T in showroom-clean condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original footswitch. Assembled in New York, this all-tube, high-gain blues machine harkens back to the circuitry, dimensions, and cosmetics of the Supro amps from 1959, just like the one loaned by Jimmy Page to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. In tribute to this legendary and extensively modified combo, Supro used the dimensions from a ‘59 2x10 cabinet, replaced the baffle with a 1x12, and armed this 25-watt combo with a custom ceramic magnet British-voiced speaker that was specially developed for the Black Magick amp.

With more gain on tap than any other Supro reissue, the Black Magick absolutely rips for heavy blues and classic rock guitar styles. This amp’s traditional, cathode-biased “Class-A” power section uses 6973 tubes to achieve the instantly recognizable midrange grind and phenomenal touch sensitive dynamics that define the Supro sound. A complete range of tones from open cleans to heavy crunch can be accessed by simply adjusting the guitar’s volume knob, and the aftermarket Dr. Z Attenuator permits users to play at low levels while maintaining tone and gain structure. Additionally, the footswitchable power tube-driven tremolo adds depth and dimension to this already versatile unit.

The preamp features two channels wired in parallel, with independent Volume controls and a single, shared Tone knob. The vintage-correct front-end topology of the original 1959 Supro combos has been streamlined in the Black Magick, with automatic linking of channels 1&2 when using only the first input jack. This flexible arrangement provides double the gain when used with one instrument, allows for two instruments to share the same amp, or enables the use of an A/B/Y box to achieve channel-switching on the fly.

This is a clean example, with barely a mark on the Blue Rhino Hide tolex or silver sparkle grillcloth. The control plate is pristine, and the original hardware is present.

The original footswitch is included.
