The bassy warmth of the first input channel on the Coronado gave me chills it was so good
Awesome demonstration. I'd been searching for sound bytes that showed the full capabilities of these amps and had previously only heard old timey twang. Loved this video. Now I know what to get.
Nicely done!
Great demo, excellent knob tweaking. Left-hand thumb rings are a bad idea for guitar necks tho.
Great demo!! Good player, too
Killer demo. On my way to get a 1624T today. Any reason for the t-shirt change from rhythm to lead?
I realize this is a non-master volume amp, but can you get a decent overdriven sound at lower volumes?
Lol. Is that tune towards the end the tune that andy plays on all thosr guitar gear demos ?
So wich amp do you prefer. What are the differences in the two amps?
Absolutely love my Dual Tone, but I'm convinced that it's more like 15W in loudness.
Great demo.
I am doubting that 24W rating.. Some pics of the amp show a large 200r 15W resistor between the 6973 tubes which indicates that it is cathode biased.. I do not expect to get more than 17W from a pair of small cathode biased 6973 tubes..
What song is the full track?
what's the microphone next to the SM57?
Groove Tubes GT-57
Lovin the drive by truckers style sounds!
Perfect overdrive
No doubt, the Coronado is my favorite. But the question is: is it too loud for play rock in a small pub? Can I reach its full sound without break any hears?
Obviously, I'm talking about a full, clean, sound. I use pedals for overdrive and fuzz tone.
+Mauro Rossetti dual tone maybe but nothing beats a cranked coronado even jimmy page used one...
Mauro Rossetti Lol, why on earth would you buy an amp like this and rely on pedals for distortion? I mean, for fuck's sake 🤣🤣🤣
Ok but which pedal do you use?
Are you using any type of effects pedals with this amp? I just bought this amp brand new and it's way to bass-e no matter what I do help me out
You got a new one didn't you? How's that one treating you?
well not to good, the number one channel dont work but the number two + one channel works so i dont get it, i just dont have luck with these supro amps, but i do love themn though
How's the headroom on the 25w?
pretty big.....
Great amps. What else can you say.
I can't say I was all that impressed. Not a "bad" sounding amp, just nothing about it that would make me think: "Wow! I've got to get one of those!". I'll stick with my Deluxe reissue.
it's cheaper than your Deluxe reissue, at least where I'm from
Who makes the speakers ?
+Carl Rudd Eminence
Sounds like a twin but distort a lot better.
This or a fender twin reverb?
Depends on what you want. A Twin is hyper clean, this amp will distort more easily when you turn it up.
Jesse Maes Yep... Absolutely agree.
Twin Reverb is massive clean headroom with not a lot of natural (if any) amp-driven grit. the wattage is also a lot higher in any given Twin Reverb so it's kind of apples/oranges aye. This Supro amp seems to have a LOT of great tonal qualities and a lot of sound shaping to be had at the control panel as well. The tremolo and gain alone sound delicious and very touch sensitive.
IF, you always play with a pedal board to get your gain/distortion and need to fill a great deal of space (like a small arena) and/or don't mic your amp (or if you're one of the modern "E-rig" players who really use their amps more like a PA and re-amp through electronics), then a Twin could be what you're after. BUT, if you play a variety of settings from at home/practice spaces to jams to gigs etc, you'd likely be way better off with a 'smaller' output amp that you can mic but that will give you the ability to play "straight in" (no pedals) and still get that grit and distortion from the amp itself (and most importantly to me, the guitars volume/tone controls) not the pedal board alone.
I play a faux-tweed Peavey Classic 50-212 (a very "un-Peavey' like amp but a total sweetheart) and I really like the pre/post volume controls and the good master volume (vs some of the "bad" circuits some, including Fender, have used over the years) because they allow me to have a 50w, 2x12 amp for bigger gigs, but still crank it down and use it for smaller gigs and settings without blowing other players out of the room (and it's a great place to sit and set a beer when need be) but still get the same distortion of having my guitar cranked...
More "versatile" amps fit a larger group of players needs better IMO. But, if you're after a big loud "speaker" to play a mass of effects out of the Twin Reverb is a great choice cause you won't get a ton of unwanted over-drive/distortion from stacking effects and a lot less signal degradation if you're running powered/buffered pedals
Can you beat the Coronado for the price guys?
I love Old Blackface Fender Twin Reverbs and Super Reverbs but Im just tired of that super clean tone
Im ready for a little bit of dirt at my age
Hearing is believing ,,plug a Tele or an LP Standard into one crank it up and you're Jimmy Page,,,!!!
(Well ,,kinda,,,,)
David Doyle Seriously. Fender Twins are the most boring amps out there - and EVERYONE uses them.
@@allrequiredfields they sounded good on Never Mind the Bollocks
i have a original 1690t that i got cheap from the original owner that had it stored away since 62 still had the original tubes all rca blackplates..this reissue is nowhere as legendary sounding as the origina but it comes close
It is the exact same circuit, unless I am mistaken. I think the only difference in sound would be the from the speakers/tubes. I would like to heat the RI up against the original. Also bare in mind, RUclips compresses the shit out of the video so the sound we get isn't what you hear in person. There may be a difference of course, but just a few things that may alter the sound. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on the circuit/speakers/tubes, etc.
Arturo Infante Nowhere near, but comes close ? Dude, you're high. ;)
@@kommi1974 Same circuit yes, but there must be other vintage parts that are not available now. Being an old amp it would have had Allen Bradley resistors and a lot of ceramic disk caps, resistors and caps would drift, etc.
Why do ALL of the demos of these Supro amps sound so shrill and harsh in the upper mids and highs? Is that what these amps sounded like 'back in the day'? It isn't a pleasant tone at all.
Nonah Yobusiness yea everyone know led zepplin was a unknown shit band and they sound was awful
Yeah, it is a very good sound actually. But not everyone has a good ear for tone...
It's the miking. Close miking with an SM57 is where that shitty, fizzy top end is coming from. I guarantee that amp sounds nothing like this, IN the room.
@@tonytouchzz Jimmy Page actually used multiple mics to balance the tone so it wasn't too shrill.
Yeah...I agree with the high end sounding a bit shrill on these. In this demo he had the Tone knob turned all the way to the right...which is essentially putting the Treble all the way up. God knows why he did that ? I certainly wouldn't have that Tone knob turned all the way right.
If these were hand wired I'd jump all over one.
+gorblimey61 They are !!.
@@keiranbradley3222 I think he means tag board or turrerboard handwired. Im practicing useing a solder iron with my feet and my teeth, so I can create a new bootique market.
Terrible miking - all the worst frequencies are pushed to the front. That thin, fizzy top end ruins the demo for me.
I have the dual tone and this demo does a really good representation of the amp in my opinion. It does have that spiky clanky high end qualities to it. But it is what it is and a unique tone.
Thats what my coronado sounds like ,but with some 'room' obviously, unless Im pretending Im a sure 57 that day.
Dat turgid tremolo: lecherous and obscene.
Really bad demo execution. Brought out the worst
