To start things off....just saw this one at Sweetwater:
Supro S6422 Thunderbolt MKII 35-watt 1x15" Tube Combo | Sweetwater
Supro S6422 Thunderbolt MKII 35-watt 1x15" Tube Combo | Sweetwater
This is an amazing deal.
Supro Amp
I'm just not sure about the printed circuit board in terms of quality, possible lack of headroom, and the overall sound of the amp -- sound is good but a bit of a one trick pony, but very good at what it does.
Yeah...not a bad deal, but I like the other one because it's a bigger amp, and the fact that it comes with a 15" speaker.
Supro is now owned/manufactured by the Pigtronix people...and their pedals have always been top-notch quality (I have several of them)...so I think the quality in the Supro amps should be pretty good.
I don't think I would pay the original prices for them...but at basically half-price, not a bad deal.
I want to love it instead of just liking it.
Yeah...I crossed that line too in the last coupe of years. I've had way too many amps over the years that I kinda liked, but then there was always one more amp around the corner that I wanted to check out because I wasn't really finding amps I truly loved.
Which model have you heard/tried that you didn't really like the sound of...?
Honestly, I'm really picky with amps and don't like almost all of them, so it's better making a list of the ones I love:
Fender Princeton Brownface version, Sequel Ravine (GA-40 type clone), Gibson GA-50, and Magic Amplification Vibro Deluxe (Fender Clone but more consistent than actual Fenders).
I meant which of the Supro amps...
My ideal amp: tight low end, very round yet pure highs, responsive to player's touch (fixed bias?), high headroom, nice breakup past noon. It's hard to find in any one amp, but especially a gig amp. I guess I'm searching for a holy grain that isn't possible. Haha. If you know of anything let me know!
Gold | Bundles | Waves
Waves Gold Bundle for $99. (Musician's Friend has it listed for $199.) Imho the C4 Multiband Compressor and the L1 Ultramaximizer are worth the $99 by themselves - and this includes 39 other plugins.
That's a good deal, no doubt, but you can be overwhelmed with too many plugins. I like to buy the waves stuff individually when they're on sale for $29 (I usually find a coupon to get them down to $20 each). Then I don't have a ton of clutter and so many options I don't know what to mix with...
Good deal, though, for people who don't mind the clutter of plugins they will never use.
Everyone's got Toontrack EZXs for $49 or $51 - normally $79. I remember when these would go on sale for $29.
