The Hombre is Suhr’s interpretation of a vintage, brown panel-style amp. It comes in a head version that matches right up with an optional 2x12 cabinet loaded with Celestion V-type speakers, or you can choose a 1x12 combo. Under the hood, this 18W, two channel (Normal and Bright) raver features three 12AX7 preamp tubes, two 6V6 power tubes, a 5AR4 rectifier tube and a tube-bias tremolo with on/off footswitch.
“This is a really fun amp to play when it breaks up,” says session guitarist Horace Bray (Dove Cameron, Blu De Tiger). “It makes me feel like I’m an old Texas blues guitarist playing super loud on stage. For clean rhythm parts, I love the Bright channel, because the tone brings some shimmer, which cuts through the band a little bit more. But my favorite part of the Hombre is its tube-bias tremolo. It’s analog, natural and organic, and it never gets choppy. The tremolo always feels like it’s complementing my playing, rather than fighting it.”

I've tried one of their amps personally but if they are on the level of their guitars and other gear, they must be superb!

[@boomerdell]

Oh, and I need an S-style guitar, really thinking it will be a Suhr Classic S, so hopefully GC will start carrying their guitars soon!🙏

Good demo. Had one in this head & cab combination for almost two years now: I like it even more now, than I did when I purchased it. Beautiful cleans, killer dirt, stunning trem & (perhaps surprisingly) a great pedal platform. Also, it records beautifully.

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Sounds great. Nice amp.

[@druwk]

Sounds great! LOVE the Tremelo. Had a ‘61 Fender Tremolux…18w, bass & treble EQ stack, tube biased tremelo, head and closed back cabinet (1x12), Blonde Tolex, Oxblood Grill. Amazing bell like clean tones and breakup that started around 4/5 and just got more saturated as you turned up.
The Hombre is very similar? But, that Fender was magic…still regret selling it 😢

Beautiful tones, beautiful demo very interested in the amplifier now I am getting ready to trade in a Marshall studio jubilee combo and I was looking for something new and exciting. Had considered getting a badger but now that I’ve heard this and with Friedman just coming out with the IRX and IRD petals, I ordered both of those can help. I love Friedman. These would work great with that amplifier you’re playing and that would be a nice stage rig for me rather than me using my Friedman amplifier to my Friedman pedals lol thanks again truly I am really more of a Clapton enthusiast so I can certainly get those and this app. Sounds like it can deliver with a little bit of help some pretty nice sounds maybe lol 1:40

Brownface are the perfect jazz amp

[@The2ndProtectsTheRest]

But will it SURF?!?!

[@ashbody3499]

I have one. It will definitely do surf (An outboard tank or pedal is obviously required).

[@9ineToe]

Super sterile and hi-fi sounding to my ears, but some people like that. Sorry, not a fan.

[@kierenmoore3236]

Yep. Is this supposed to sound like an old Fender?!
