I can't imagine what the price on those will be.

[Modern Saint]

Cool yet odd as the world is truly heading retro!

 

[Denverdave]

Meh....

 

[realtree71]

I'm on the fence. I read about this a while ago..... Kinda like the Magnatone thing. This to shall pass.

 

[LittleSnakes]

Interesting. I used to play a Zinky Mofo - fantastic amp. I'll be interested to see how these turn out.

 

[Mark Wein]

Hopefully they have them at NAMM

Used to have a Supro, back when old amps were just old amps, not vintage...nice little combo 1 X 12, don't recall the wattage, but probably about 30 watts, decent reverb, killer tremolo. Wish I still had it.

Wonder if that model (or something similar) will once again be available?

a 30 watt version would be right in their wheelhouse. i expect it (or a 50 watt version) to be the flagship model.

Funk dat! I don’t care how popular Jack White and Dan Auerbach are, paying boutique prices for clones of crappy old Sears amps is silly.

Except they're well built and the circuits sound great.

 

[Grant Gross]

I totally want one of the new 15-watters.

 

[Muppet]

I'm not sure what I want more, the reinvisioned Magnatone or the Supro. Both are pretty tasty.

If I could get the Magnatone vibrato circuit in pedal form, I think I'd be happy with that as a substitute for the whole amp.

The new Magnatone's create the sound in my head better than anything I've ever heard. They are a bit more pricey than the Supro's.

 

[Deep Eddy]

They seem pricy. Are they PTP circuits? Or is the pricing just reflective of marketing and demand for these funky old amps?

$1200-1350 is pretty low to be considered boutique prices. Especially for 35+ watt amps.

I didn't like the supro that I tried. Seemed like mush and flubbery to me, not articulated and dynamic.
