Title: Supro Dual Tone Sort Of
Post by: zendragon63 on October 03, 2018, 12:31:13 pm

Hey gang--I was curious about the Supro and inspired by sluckey's recent build. Pretty much had all the parts so you know where this was going. Minus the trem because I hardly ever use trem. The long and the short of it ended up that I really liked the tone with humbuckers but it certainly seemed to run out of gas with the tele. Most dirt/boost pedal color the signal more than I like and it just needed a little push. I ended up adding a LND150 to bring it up just 3x to 4x--and it is right where I hoped it would be.

The channel switch that sluckey uses is pretty clever. The cabinet is Sapele with maple/ebony trim (something I use repeatedly). The speaker is a Reaper HP.

Supro heresy for sure but whatever floats yer boat.... Regards

WOW!  What a cool design and beautiful cab!  THANKS so much for sharing this.  It really looks remarkable.  Your cabinetry work is stunning.

I like your use of the LND150.  Bravo.

With respect, Tubenit

Thanks guys! This project was personally rewarding--because it was the first amp of so many I have built that fired up the first time without error. But trust me, I will get over it by the next one. :icon_biggrin: Regards
