Supro CTO Dave Koltai talks about the inspiration behind the development of our new variable power amp, the Amulet, and how its many features work. We also got together and recorded an original track featuring exclusively guitar tones only created with the Amulet.

The Supro Amulet is a vintage-voiced 1×10 combo loaded with all-tube reverb and tremolo along with a new, 3-way switchable power attenuator. Designed for the gigging guitarist, this lightweight tube amp offers 15 watts, 5 watts or 1 watt of all-tube tone through a UK-made Celestion Creamback 10” speaker. The preamp found in the Amulet delivers warm, blooming clean sounds up to ‘noon’ on its volume knob. Past noon, its voice rolls into classic Supro crunch, giving way to a singing, violin-like overdrive at full volume. The Amulet is remarkably high-gain for a vintage-inspired amp, but offers a sweet spot that is not overwhelmingly loud.

The power amp found in the Amulet uses a single 6L6 tube with switchable power soak to achieve bedroom level 1-watt, studio friendly 5-watt or a more robust 15-watt output for stage use. The overdrive in the Amulet’s “single-ended,” Class-A output stage is rich in even-order harmonics and soaked in natural tube compression. True to the legacy of original Supro combos, the Amulet’s exceptional dynamics, ultra-low noise performance and 3-way power attenuator make it an ideal amplifier for club gigs, studio recording and bedroom practice.

Supro is one of the original rock & roll music brands. First manufactured in Chicago from 1935 to 1968, Supro amplifiers and guitars are featured on landmark recordings by iconic artists such as Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie. Revived in 2013, Supro now offers a curated range of vintage-inspired tube amps and analog pedals that capture the legendary Supro sound.
