Keeley Supro Custom Amp

LuttiS

Designed in collaboration with Keeley Electronics, the Supro Keeley Custom is built to integrate your pedals into the heart of an all-tube Supro amplifier. The preamp and 2-band EQ section are voiced perfectly for running your gain pedals in front of the amp, while still maintaining Supro’s signature midrange girth and phenomenal touch dynamics. A transparent effects loop has been worked into the design, providing the ideal point to inject your delay and reverb stompboxes into the amplifier’s all-tube signal path. A master volume circuit allows you to control the sound pressure level coming from the speaker, while pouring on copious amounts of gain from the 12AX7-based tube preamp or your favorite dirt pedals. This 25-watt combo takes Supro’s classic rock tones a step further by crafting a design that allows you to get the best out of your stompbox collection. The preamp in the Supro Keeley gives you the headroom needed for the tone from your pedals, while the effects loop allows you to place time-based effects downstream. The amp features a Bruce Zinky designed cathode-biased “Class-A” power section loaded with premium Tung-Sol 6V6GT tubes to achieve an instantly recognizable Supro sound. A custom-made CR10 speaker provides deep bass response with perfectly voiced highs to give you unparalleled performance in a portable, 1x10 combo amp.

Here's Robert Keeley talking about it..

Sounds pretty cool.. probably going to be silly expensive.. 

I'm not in the market for another amp and have no intention of buying...  but i like it

Actually less ridiculous than some of their previous prices... although I would expect it to be a lot more in the UK.

Roll on Kemper profile!

I think it sounds fantastic in this demo, specially with the LP!

Nice, very nice. Will have to have a better look at the specs.

25w, 2 x 6V6, class A ... only two of those things can be correct, probably only one.

Sounds nice with a warm vintagey sort of vibe.

The Thunderbolt+ I worked on recently was quite optimistic on the power output too... they claim 35/45/60W depending on the power stage configuration, but it was actually more like 30/35/50W. Still loud, obviously. The ‘Class A’ setting just means cathode bias, as I’m sure won’t surprise you .

It sounded good, but I wouldn’t really say warm and vintagey - quite bold and punchy, nothing like an original Supro at all - they tend to be loose and a bit ratty. I think the cabinet and speaker might have a lot to do with it, rather than the amp.
