BFT,
Supro amplifiers.
I have 3 of them, a Blues King 12, a Comet and a Thunderbolt +
The Blues King is a Blues Jr. killer. 15 watts, 12" speaker, FX loop,
line out, foot switchable boost and drive, 28 pounds, nice cabinet,
a single 6L6 instead of the usual pair of EL 84s. $599.
The Comet is a Princeton killer. It's was a bit pricey but worth it.
6/14 watts switchable, 1 X 10, volume, tone, verb, tremolo speed and depth.
Very big sound in a small package. (The speaker sounded a little too dark
for me so I dropped in a Jensen P10Q and that took care of it nicely.)
again a single 6L6 power section. Trem and verb sound georgous.
They are in a different place in the circuit than usual.
The T-bolt is a 35/45/60 watt 1 X 15. The 35 watt setting is class A,
45 watt is AB and 60 watt is AB with an SS rectifier replacing the
power supply tube the other 2 modes utilize. The 60 watt setting
makes for a loud clean amplifier that is a perfect pedal platform
and the 35 watt class A mode cranked is wonderful. 45 watts puts
you into Fender Blackface Bassman terrirory. (2 6L6s in this one.)
The first time I brought the t-bolt to a job one of the other guitar
players said, "but it only has 2 dials..." (Volume and tone) At the
end of the job he said, "Now I understand."
