@@simonvanderheijden432 Exactly. And a dB meter will tell us how loud. I wanted to know if that great tone can be used in a small club without an attenuator.
Of course I add a comment ! What an amp… nothing to say but John Suhr put again all his experience and passion in this one. What a sound, what a personality, versatility … Thk u x 2. Love it, it’s mine.
Thanks Peach - my Hombre arrived this afternoon and it's fantastic. I saw this video over the weekend and I was sold. Had I not bought this amp I was heading towards using the cash as a deposit on a Pete Thorn Sig guitar. So you have saved me £2000 - that's my justification. 🤘
Would have liked to hear this with a Les Paul to hear how close it could get to that BFG tone on the early ZZ Top albums, otherwise sounds great with the T
The more I hear the more I realize Suhr is a killer amp company disguised as a boutique guitar company. SL-67, SL-68, both PTs and now this..... both sides of the pond aced.
Just heard about this amp recently. Sounds so good! Considering getting a Fender style amp in the not-so-distant future and this may have just jumped to the top of the list!
Somehow I did not hear about or see this amp. Sounds mighty fine and I'd be all over it if I didn't just pick up an original '62 brownface Princeton recently! Great vid guys
@@YeatzeeGuitar Hey man, I love my Princeton! I've been a long time Fender blackface lover, but recently discovered the power of the brownface era. I'm not sure about 6G3 Deluxes, but original 6G2 Princetons go for between $1,700 and $2,500 from what I've seen. I paid a little more than what these Suhrs retail for new. That said, I have no doubt the Suhr is a great amp! Good luck in your search, cheers
@@CargoShorts7 Yeah I've been looking at the princetons, they just seem like killer grab and go amps with lots of charm. That's about the price range I see them in as well. Hefty, but I bet they'll only go up in value. The suhr does sound good though!
I'd love to hear Suhr's take on an old British amp, the Selmer Thunderbird Twin 30... It was never as common as the Vox AC30 amps, but I really preferred it in every way with the EL34 output into a pair of 12" Greenbacks...
Tight sounding Wonder if jumping channels works well I just ordered a Creamback for my Silvertone 1482 I like Celestions in Fender type combos Very cool
My Stapleton runs 17 watts with good tubes. It doesn't get as gainy as the Suhr, although with a pedal in front, and turned up to 9, it does everything, and can rock. Check out a fun demo on soundcloud Jamie Todd Schultz Band. All amp, no pedals, clean/driven sounds.
This is such a great amp. Right in my ideal sound wheelhouse. Definitely much cheaper than a real ‘61 Fender Brown Deluxe. Maybe Fender will respond with a reissue? One major regret...selling a ‘61 Tremolux! Had all this in a Blonde Head & Oxblood Grill, and matching 1 x 12” (after the 10” w/ tone ring speaker blew) Cabinet. Every time I see an amp like this, I kick myself! Needed the money. Got a fair price...but still? 😣
The original Fender Deluxe started dropping the highs at a bright volume setting of 6 in the bright channel. Dimed out the sound is not that great. 18 or 20 watts it is actually quite loud. (50 year owner of an original 63 Deluxe)
I dunno how I feel about that lower-gain semi-clean tone. It has a buzzy tint to the overtones that reminds me of a mic being clipped rather than a more mellow overdrive. Maybe that's due to the more lower-midrange focus, but... too BBQ rock for my tastes. I can see it being a popular thing, though.
Simple circuit = better sound = more expensive. Does that mean to build a cheaper amp you need to make a more complicated circuit that is designed to sound worse?
Yes, it's PCB and PCB mounted tube sockets. He said "hand wired" probably by accident. Not many amp techs that I know will touch a PCB amp. For $600 more, the Down Brownie is the way to go. For a couple hundred less, Lil Dawg, Marsh and Vintagetone all do an actual 6G3 hand wired/ point to point clone.
@@colinletteney6667 "amp techs" are usually hacks unqualified to work on electronics in any other industry. If they refuse to work on it, it means they don't know how.
What does it cost? Why are these touts so reluctant to bring up this ( unpleasant) detail. Maybe a comment as to how it compares to similarly priced items, or if it is value for money, would be helpful to their prospective customers.
For the price of this thing you could have many other amps.... Mesa boogie, fender deluxe..... and still have change in your pocket for a number of pedals
Psionic Audio does an excellent 40 min mostly internal examination of the Hombre.
Jack's playing skills have to be recognized!
Peach / Jack are crushing it with these demos!
I knew I’d find the best demo for this amp here. Jack’s playing perfectly suits this amp, and any amp really. Great work!
Another excellent demo Jack! May I suggest a dB meter so we can get an idea of how loud the amps that you demo are?
it's dimed so it LOUD!!!
@@simonvanderheijden432 Exactly. And a dB meter will tell us how loud. I wanted to know if that great tone can be used in a small club without an attenuator.
The Suhr logo looks so magical on the Hombre!

Killer presentation Jack! Awesome sounding amp

No doubt
Nice review and demo. I've been looking for a Brownface Deluxe style amp and the Suhr Hombre is definitely a nice option to try.
This amp in a head form, atop a vertical 212 loaded with well aged greenbacks!
OR... This amp’s Speaker out into a vintage Marshall 4x12 as in Pete Thorn’s video on the Hombre... Pure Bliss 😎
Great playing, great sounding amp!
Awesome Demo!!! Thanks Jack😎
Would love to see a comparison between the Hombre, Swart AST and a 5E3. Your demos/reviews are very helpful.
Just heard about this amp recently. Sounds so good! Considering getting a Fender style amp in the not-so-distant future and this may have just jumped to the top of the list!
Get a headstrong instead.
@@INT_Based Why do prefer a Headstrong amp?
Somehow I did not hear about or see this amp. Sounds mighty fine and I'd be all over it if I didn't just pick up an original '62 brownface Princeton recently! Great vid guys
Been looking at a 62 for a while now. What do you think? What'd you pay if you don't mind my asking

That thing sounds so good. Great all 'rounder
Sounds beautiful, awesome playing too

Didn' t played Jimmy Page Selmer amps in the early beginning of Led Zep?
I have to watch again the danish TV show from 69.
Jack is a excellent player
Jack rocks! Love that amp too!
Probably amp number 3 for me to sit alongside my JP2C and Traveller 5
Tight sounding Wonder if jumping channels works well I just ordered a Creamback for my Silvertone 1482 I like Celestions in Fender type combos Very cool
I jump mine all the time. You get a bit more of the glorious overdrive.
basically volume and tone with volume turned up to 10. what could be more pure and perfect than that?
would love to hear this A-B'd with the Chris Stapleton Princeton.
Good shout

Great presentation, subscribed.
finally a proper brown remake...
Now this sounds killer.
please stop advertising gorgeous gear…. My credit card wont take much more lol ….great demo
When I sell an amp, I need Jack to demo it so it will sell immediately. P.S. just picked up a Suhr Badger 35
Great demo, LOVE this amp! The tremolo is lush...
What a sound!
Is it good for clean jazz tones? Enough headroom?
What a player..!!.. great amp 🤘
I'm kinda, sorta, actually really done with copies of classic amps/pedals/guitars/pickups. Sounds wonderful, by the way.
magic tremolo
Precioso amplificador!
Great amp and i'm shure, much higher quality parts, than the original manufactors customshop take :-)
Awesome
Can't beat a bit of ZZTOP !!!
Love your playing... Love the hair!!! Keep it!!
What's IR simulation?
I have a Down Brownie or i would be all over this!
How's the down brownie? I'm trying to decide between that or the suhr.
@@jazzzfer Down Brownie is a very versatile amp! all kinds of tones in that amp!! British side is killer too
@@barryroberts9388 thanks ! Will be ordering one soon
Suhr hombre or toneking imperial II ?
How much?
This vs keely supro?

Could be the way the sound was captured on this video. On others, this amp sounds thick and wonderful.
The thickness works wonders to beef up a Strats low midrange and brightness, I've built 4 6G3's
It’s power tube saturation, my friend
Wowsers
FYI...the Hombre is not hand wired.
Simple circuit = better sound = more expensive. Does that mean to build a cheaper amp you need to make a more complicated circuit that is designed to sound worse?
print a board and have the cap sequences tie into each other with out solder- that equates less time, parts and man power needed = Cheaper
Pcb?
Yes, it's PCB and PCB mounted tube sockets. He said "hand wired" probably by accident. Not many amp techs that I know will touch a PCB amp. For $600 more, the Down Brownie is the way to go.

@@michaelwoods9005
Good to know! Which qualified amplifier techs are in the the North Eastern CT area that you could recommend for me?
can Suhr tell the owner of SUHR worked for fender for a long long time
and proceeded to make far, far superior products
Hombre (Español) = Man (English)
Nice sound but I mean $5000 od dollar's U would be to scared to gig it
What does it cost? Why are these touts so reluctant to bring up this ( unpleasant) detail. Maybe a comment as to how it compares to similarly priced items, or if it is value for money, would be helpful to their prospective customers.
Not that much. Its worth it. I have the head/cab.
Its unfortunate this stuff costs money lol
Way way too much jabbering (8 minutes). 60 seconds to brief us and then play!
We're pretty happy with how it came out, the general response seems to agree with us, but we'll take onboard your comment!
For the price of this thing you could have many other amps.... Mesa boogie, fender deluxe..... and still have change in your pocket for a number of pedals
Talk less, demo more.
Watch another demo then Capt. Barkin’-at-no-one!
Suhrs new ripoff!
Like nearly every other product in the guitar world since the mid 60s hasn't been a RIP off of something or other.
Like music itself. It's all based on something that's done, but done better. That's called revolution
Wild Clique There is really not much of an evolution in copying a 57 years old circuit, at least Paul Rivera really made it better.
