NAD Supro 1695t black magick

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

Grabbed this little honey the other day

Supro Black Magick 1695t 1x12 combo


Have to say its a great little amp, and i think nicely suited to home use. In saying that it is very loud and would stand up to gigging. When I say its god for hime use I mean its fairly light physically, not to massive and doesnt take to much coaxing to get a gritty clean tone from.

Firstly the aestehtic is wonderful. The build qulaity is as id heard, very good. Very solid construction, nice jacks and grunty switches. The stock supro speaker is suprisingly wonderful.

Ive had a chance to test it only with the JM, my home build reverb tank and some hot cake attenuation. Very happy with the tones. The clean is what does it for me, though I know most go for the classic rock tones this amp is famous for. The trem is natural and organic sounding and doesnt get thumpy.
I find the amp to be fairly balanced with a tightish low end and moderated highs, which seem to acentuate the good parts of the reverb tank without the shrillness of black face offerings.

Here is a couple quick demos.

Sounds wicked, is this along the same lines as the Delta King?

Delayman was at mine yesterday with his, very impressed with the sound, size, weight, volume, pretty much everything really…
