Valco made a name for themselves with a very wide line-up of guitr amps spread out through a myriad of brands, of which the most recognized became SPRO. SPRO amps were played by many blues players in the 50’s and 60’s and were a good alternative on a tighter budget to Fender amps.
Even names like Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page have played these amps and from the whole lineup the SPRO the DUAL became the most widely recognized and iconic piece.
This here is an extremely rare early 6V6 version, which has a bigger, meaner crunch and more gain on tap due to the easily overdriving 6V6 tubes.
Nonbody knows what exactly Jimmy Page used for the First Led Zeppelin albums in the studio, but it is clear that the 1×12 DUAL is the most probable candidate despite many differing quotes by the man himself and various online articles. Either way, this little beast will get you darn close to those tones and more
It has that SPRO raunch on higher settings and can get really massive sounding without caving in. But it also has wonderful chimey cleans that open up new dimensions even to the humbucker pickup sound.
Version: V1
Owned the first version of this amp and upgraded to V2. These amps are well-known for their unique breakup when driven - sort of like a 50's Fender Tweed, but with a rougher and raspier sound. However, I'm enjoying the clean tones, which are very expressive and work well with compression and a variety of pickups. I definitely recommend exploring different settings with the gain to find unique gain voicings between the different "static" captures. Great captures!
Version: V1
Awesome slightly left of center tones
When I need something less typical this is my go to. I love this set! Has quirky and raunchy but also beautiful and useful.
Version: V1
Sounds like an amazing Supro
When you need this sound it's right here. Blends beautifully with other sounds and can pop out when necessary. A must have for the arsenal
