Supro® Vintage Thunderbolt 1×15

TRY IT

The Supro® Vintage Thunderbolt 1×15 is an official DynIR from Supro®, captured from – and inspired by – a mid-60’s 1×15 Thunderbolt open-back enclosure outfitted with a Jensen® C15P 15” Ceramic speaker.

Supro® is one of the original rock & roll music brands. First manufactured in Chicago from 1935 to 1968, Supro® amplifiers and guitars are featured on landmark recordings by iconic artists such as Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie. Revived in 2014, Supro® now offers a curated range of vintage-inspired tube amps and analog pedals that capture the legendary Supro® sound.

When you’re in the market for dynamic touch-sensitivity, high-headroom and punch-fuelled full-range tone, a vintage Jensen® C15P 15” Ceramic speaker is a one-stop-shop. Pushing a well-rounded, expansive low end, lashings of mid-range bite and a bright bell-like top-end, it’s a must for players seeking the pinnacle in a vibey edge-of-breakup tone. Thinking of this driver as a one-trick-pony would be a mistake – crank up the gain or feed this speaker some overdrive and brace yourself for an alt-slant on a punchy rock / alt-rock tone that guarantees you cut through any mix. Fit this in a vintage 1964 Thunderbolt enclosure and you’re set to experience the stuff dreams are made of – there’s tuned cab resonance in all the right places, all underpinned with a focussed dispersion that gets the very best from its companion driver.

Available individually or as part of the “Supro® Vintage Collection”, the Supro® Vintage Thunderbolt 1×15 has been exquisitely captured at The Hit Factory using studio-grade mics and recording peripherals to deliver seamless adaptation from the studio to the stage.
