The Supro 1699R Statesman 50W Tube Guitar Amp Head is a versatile, two-channel all-tube amplifier head designed by Thomas Elliott that seamlessly blends vintage tone with modern functionality. Powered by a pair of Sovtek power tubes, the amp features switchable Class A (cathode bias) and Class AB (grid bias) operation, allowing players to instantly toggle between raw, compressed midrange growl and high-headroom, punchy attack. Its two distinct channels—a high-headroom Red channel inspired by the iconic Supro Thunderbolt and a high-gain Blue channel borrowed from the Supro Comet—can be run independently or combined via A/B/Both channel switching for a massive dual-preamp sound. Complete with tube-driven spring reverb and a multi-purpose, switchable tube effects loop with spill-over capability, the Statesman delivers dynamic tone-shaping power wrapped in Supro’s classic black rhino hide tolex styling.
Notes:
This Early 2020s Supro Statesman 50-watt 2-channel Tube Guitar Amp Head is in Excellent condition, part of a single-owner, climate controlled collection, with extremely light wear consistent with age and only the most occasional home use.
