I tried a Supro Blues King today, really nice little amp, I think the Mesa Express may have to go on the block shortly.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

There was one on Facebook recently. I think I posted a link to it on the Trade Me thread.

so if we put mine with yours do you think we could sell someone a stereo pair?

They are very different sounding amps.

Is making your guitar just sound louder not enough for you??!?!?

Well I just picked up a little Vox Pathfinder last week. Surprisingly sounds fairly decent, especially considering it's SS. Have it paired with the Snouse

Truth be told the Supro GAS has waned in favour of a few spendy pedals I hope to acquire soon, and a little further down the line a 'vintage' ahem Strat project not too dissimilar to Jeremy's new pride and joy
