Description
A vintage 1952 Supro "Chicago '51" 1x10 tube combo amp. Manufactured by Valco, this compact little tweed amp packs a big punch. Like many amps of its era, it has an amazing bluesy lead tone. Its thick, sustained overdrive reminds of a wide-panel Tweed Deluxe--for a fraction of the price. This amp has been fully serviced with fresh caps and a grounded power cord. It is fully functional and sounds fantastic.
