1965 Supro Thunderbolt S6420 Vintage Tube Amp 1×15 Jensen C15N
Saturday, January 13th, 2018
Up for sale, a 1965 Supro Thunderbolt in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This legendary tube amp was made in the USA by Valco and comes complete with a fresh compliment of JJ tubes. Lightly compressed, focused and incredibly rich sounding, the Thunderbolt pushes 35 watts through a pair of 6L6 power tubes and a Jensen C15N speaker. For everything from clean, wooly rhythm tones to saturated tube overdrive further up on the volume dial, the Thunderbolt delivers a pure sound with a simple yet ingenious circuit and only two knobs for Volume and Tone. This is the earlier iteration of the Thunderbolt with a tube rectified circuit that has that quintessential sag. The circuit is thoroughly serviced and extremely clean, with both transformers dating the amp to 1965. The preamp has been fully recapped to ensure the amp responds as per factory spec and two new Alpha pots were also installed. The chassis is notably clean with chrome that shows only light surface patina and original black silkscreen graphics and knobs. The amp has been retolexed in correct “midnight blue vinyl” with silver sparkle grillcloth. There is some wear on one side of the cabinet and one notable spot on top where it appears the texture of the tolex melted. If you’re looking for the essential Valco/Supro tone for recording or live use, look no further than the Thunderbolt!
