Supro 1668RT Jupiter

Supro 1668RT Jupiter

This is a modern masterpiece! Not only is this a totally stunning piece, but this top of the range amp is perfect for the performing artist who needs a vintage sounding amp, that elegantly handles the output from a complex pedal rig. The Jupiter amp excels at all genres of music, gifting the necessary headroom punch and stage volume, without compromising the fundamental dynamics and tonal characteristics that have made Supro famous!

The Jupiter model features the unique Supro switchable  rectifier topology, allowing musicians to select 35 watts (Class A) or 45/65 watts (Class A/B) to suit any gig.  The 35 watt cathode bias mode uses the legendary Thunderbolt power amp topology for a harmonically drenched, tube-rectified sound that combines deliciously with this 1/12” platform. The 45 and 60 watt grid bias modes provide more volume and headroom as well as the faster transient response associated with Class AB power amps.

This amp not only allows for players to change the texture and output volume, but also provides 2 very different, all-tube tremolo effects, depending on what ‘Class’ mode is selected! Class A is vintage all the way and the depth of the effect changes along with your dynamics of playing. Class AB gives a much deeper, strong, sexy throbbing effect! As the tremolo is performed by modulating the bias of the output tubes, the reverb comes out before the tremolo effect, for a totally captivating combination of pure tube reverb and tremolo when both effects are combined! Awesome!

The Jupiter comes equipped new state of the art HP12 speaker that was designed for this amp alone! The speaker has superior power handling qualities and combines incredible clarity and treble extensions. It is distinctively smooth and very sweet, no matter how hard you push this beautiful piece! There is no comparison to a speaker that you can rely on to deliver full bodied, woody tone time after time!
