Stunning condition sixties Supro 1624 in excellent working order.
This is one of my favourite Valco-made 60s Supros - note that it is not the reissue, but a rare original.
There is much speculation about the exact identity of the Supro amp used by Jimmy Page on early Led Zeppelin recordings, with the model 24 we sold recently a strong contender; this model sounds every bit as good to me - a great vintage valve amp with a rich meaty tone and superb tremolo.
The sound of the 1624 was all over many great American records of the sixties and seventies - so much so that this model has now been reissued. The promise of the modern reissue does nothing to excite as I've yet to hear a modern mass-produced imitation of a 60s amp that bears anything but a physical resemblance. For me this is a stunning recording amp - sounds amazing with harmonica as well as guitar - sing through your harp mic with the tremolo on and you’re in classic Zep territory.
USA 110v unit - you will need a step-down transformer for use in the UK. We can supply high quality UK-made transformers and do not recommend using cheap, generic transformers with vintage gear.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
