Supro Royale 1932r 1x12 Guitar Tube Combo Amp Black Scandia

Excellent amp with phenomenal tones, great reverb, effects loop, and a very capable master volume. I was worried with the wattage rating it'd be too loud but I can easily quiet it down for home use while retaining excellent headroom. I love the supro sound so this is a no brainer amp for me.

Very nice sound. Clean warm and workable for lots. Not to heavy to gig with. BUT. THESE QUALITIES ARE ALAILABLE FOR HALF AS MUCH. Peavey classics new. Traynor new. And fenders and voxs lightly used. I have a Peavey valve king 100 watt 1/2 stack... monster. A Peavey classic 30 definitely my go to GO ANYWHERE Amp. A line 6 flextone II. I know. But it has it's uses. And my serious sweetheart, a Traynor 80 watt twin that I've put greenback vintage 30's in and some custom made in Russia tubes... I will always love this amp... but the days have arrived where why even lug that? All of these amps were under $400 used but in great condition. I guess my point is bang for the buck. Are going to gig with a core prs 10 top custom? So. Great sounding amp but not worth the money unless you have a truly great (And Large) studio to put in something you more or less probably have. Keep playing to all. Oh. I returned the amp.

I came across the Royale watching demo videos before it was available. I was looking for an amp that would give more sparkle in overdrive to my original spec Widerange pickups. The 5881 tubes, being slightly lower wattage than 6L6s, seemed like they might do the trick w/o turning up the amp to earbleed levels. Plus, there was the 35 watt Class A channel for grittier overdrive if I wanted it. When I finally got one in, it didn't disappoint -- it performs exactly as described. It preserves the string-to-string clarity of the Widerange pickups, and its bass response is amazingly rich w/o booming over the mids and treble. People don't mention the sensitivity of the EQ pots; they're fantastic, and moving one a couple of tics clearly changes the character of the sound. Seems like the Royale would support many different types of guitars for that reason. I'm not much of a reverb guy, but I acknowledge the richness of that channel. Haven't tried the pedal loop yet, but at this point, I assume it'll be top notch. It's not a high gain amp, so if you're looking to shred and squeal, move on. If you want to do the Fender Twin one better, check out the Royale.

I ordered this amp elsewhere, but I feel as though I have to drop this warning out there for you all before you buy. I went through three of these amplifiers via returns and repairs. and the following is what I experienced. First amp: This amp had a weird reverb issue that impacted the amps total output volume. Not matter class A or class A/B, with reverb enabled, sound came out super wet, as if the dwell was maxed out and the sound was only being pushed through the reverb. With reverb switched off, no sound at all no matter the level choices, or the class selected. Occasionally the amp worked the way it was supposed to, but I don't "Will it or Will it Not" when it comes to performing. I returned this amp, and received a new one in return. Second amp: After receiving the second amp, it worked, but a strange background noise, erratic, high-pitched sound like you're catching a broadcast of morse code came through, and it generally only kicked in after the amp was fully warm. You could get rid of the noise if you put the reverb level to 0 or just switched reverb off entirely. I sent the amp back. Third amp: I ordered from someone different, which was a mistake on my part. I should've just said... "It's not meant to be". But I didn't. The amp arrived and it showed issues right out of the box. Playing any lower pitched notes, caused distortion on those notes. So, I reached out to Supro directly to get it repaired, and they did. The turn-around was longer than I'd hoped, but I did get it back, and the tech assured me the amp checked out. Now, this may just be me, but the amp is noisy in weird ways that I believe point to bigger quality issues. The reverb level pot - reverb enabled - piles on signal noise, and inordinately in my opinion, though the tech disagreed. Also, if you touch the very top of the pot knobs, with your ear against the speaker with reverb on you can actually hear the rubbing or tapping of your finger on the top of the pot - you can get rid of that effect by turning reverb off. Also, the issue with the second amp - the erratic morse code signal noise - is very much so present on the amp as well. Conclusion: This amp is touted as a clean amp... a pedal platform. It clearly IS NOT, and I think there are bigger issues here than Supro is willing to accept as real "issues" - they might just be jaded and accepting of out-of-the-ordinary amp noise... I don't know, but it sure is frustrating when you're talking to them. Ex. When I turn up the reverb level on my Fender GB Twin Reverb, there's no piling-on of signal noise / cycle hum. That just doesn't happen and doesn't happen with any verb amps I've owned in the past, at least so far as I can remember. Also, the reverb adding other weird signal noise such as the morse-code-like noise, and then fact that you can hear your fingers lightly rubbing or tapping any knob projected through the speaker??? That's just weird. My advice: If you're okay with a tube amp that piles-on signal noise when you have reverb switched on, or you plan on using a reverb pedal and leaving reverb off, this amp is capable of producing warm, full tones. However, if you're like me, I paid for a "clean" feature-rich amp, and that is most definitely NOT what I have taking up space that would be better served by another amp that delivers on its promises. I hope someone else finds this amplifier useful, 'cause I sure don't.
