Up for sale, a 1965 Supro Thunderbolt model S6420 combo amplifier in good condition and in perfect working order. This perennially popular vintage tube amp was made in the USA by Valco, the parent company which also produced amps under the National, Oahu, and Gretsch banners among others. Lightly compressed, focused, and delivering an elegant, touch-sensitive overdrive that’s sonically distinct, the Thunderbolt pushes roughly 35 watts through a pair of 6L6 power tubes and a Jensen C15P speaker. For everything from clean, wooly rhythm tones to saturated tube roar 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. Notable for being an early example of the Thunderbolt with a rectifier tube and sweet, tube driven “sag”, the amp has a 5U4 in the rectifier position, along with a pair of 5881 (6L6GC) power tubes and a pair of 12AX7 valves in the preamp. The speaker is the original Jensen C-15P ceramic magnet 15 driver, and the date stamp on the edge of the frame is from the 18th week of’65. The circuit is mostly original, with stock transformers that date to’65, and CTS pots that have visible date codes from the 16th week of 1965. The power supply features a replacement multi-section can cap, with just a couple additional modern caps inside the chassis to ensure optimal functionality. Cosmetically the chassis retains the majority of its black silkscreened graphics, and the chrome exhibits some areas of surface rust through the plating. The cabinet features the original blue/gray textured covering with some wear through the covering on the bottom enclosure edges and some light staining of the silver sparkle grillcloth. It’s missing the original Supro logo.
Works and sounds great! Valco made and serviced with only a few filter caps changed. Original speaker reconed as well. Little light stain on bottoms left of grill cloth. Barely noticeable (see pics).
Gave it a light cleaning. Also cleaned the pot and tube sockets. These amps are favorites in recording studios everywhere. They have a sparkling clean tone and a nice breakup when pushed. This one has been updated with a 3 prong cord as well as a jack that allows convenient use of an external speaker. (Used an existing stock hole and it is easily reversible if desired). This model is similar to a Supro 1606 or Gretsch 6150 of this era. Serial indicates first amp of 1962. Very solid cabinet construction and a simple 2 input, 1 knob layout. Utilizes 5y3, 6v6 and 12ax7. Like a Fender Tweed Champ, the amp has only one control knob-volume/on/off. Feel free to ask questions and check out my other listings. Will consider any serious offers.
