2010s Supro Saturn Mk II 25w 1x12" Tube Amp Combo

This version of the modern Supro Saturn is a rarer format for the amp, at 25w with a 1x12" speaker. It was only made in this configuration for a year or so and I'm only seeing one other example out on the net. This amp is essentially new and was only gigged once or twice. It looks like it was made yesterday, however, as it's so clean.

I did notice that at the highest volume (it's in the demo, but it was painfully loud) the original pair of JJ 6V6 power tubes were rattling a hair (and I didn't have extra silicone damper rings on hand), so in the video I have a set of spares in there. It sounds the same with either brand, though. I mention this only for completeness' sake. I've got some damper rings on order for it, however.

What this does best is exactly what it looks like it does best -- big, '60s-sounding clean/chimey stuff drenched in spring reverb or, when desired, pumped-up, broken-up, sizzly driven sounds. Yes, and -- it's also got trem. Use this wherever you would use a Fender of similar specs but for when you want a little more character.

This one was made in the USA and I've taken shots of the guts so you can see how nicely-assembled it is. It comes with its original cover, too.
