The Supro Thunderbolt 1x15 combo is a piece of guitar history for sure. The look, famously nicknamed "Rhino Hide." Originally marketed as a bass amp, this shines when pushed on guitar--with a great low-end sound. Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page are rumored to have had one, the latter recording some early Led Zepplein cuts on it. Here in Very Good vintage condition, all original aside from a 3-prong power cable.
Here's what this Vintage Guitar article hast to say about it:
"Electronically, the Thunderbolt was simplicity itself, with no 'fancy extra circuits.' The only controls were tone and volume – and it had plenty of both. The amp was equipped with a pair of RCA or Sylvania 6L6GCs, a 5U4 tube rectifier, a huge power transformer, and a pair of RCA 12AX7 preamp tubes. The chassis, mounted on the floor of an unusually large and deep (11 ½”) cabinet, was hooked up to a thunderous Jensen C15PS."
