The Supro Thunderbolt 1x15 combo is a piece of guitar history for sure. Originally marketed as a bass amp, this shines when pushed on guitar--with a great low-end sound. Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page had one, the latter recording some early Led Zepplein cuts on it.
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."
