Super O
Yet more of the stuff of legend. Jimmy Page has admitted to using his ’58 Tele and a
Supro amp to record most of the first two Led Zeppelin albums. The only problem is,
he’s never really copped to which Supro model he used, since his simply saying the word
‘Supro’ caused a run on pawnshops and music stores everywhere, making it virtually
impossible to find another one of whichever model it was that he used.
We went so far as to impose on our friendship with people we know who were actually
present during the recording of “Led Zeppelin II” to see if they remembered anything
about that particular amp. They didn’t recall the specific model number, only that it
was “a grey and silver tiny little bastard.” Other sources have claimed that it was the
1x12-inch version. So, until Pagey speaks, the mystery remains, but, whatever the truth
of those Zep sessions may be, we’re confident that this Supro S6616 model can be a fine
entrance ticket to the Houses of the Holy.
By the way, that’s a 6x9-inch speaker in this amp, just like in your car stereo. Go figure.
