Supro 1959 (Late 50s 1x6V6) - Main preset
Verified · 82/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Supro 1959 is the Valco-made amp widely cited as one of Jimmy Page's primary recording tools for Led Zeppelin's debut album, lending it legendary status in rock history. Its small 18-watt single-ended or push-pull circuit saturates quickly, producing a dense, harmonically rich overdrive at manageable studio volumes. The 1959 Supro became a cornerstone of the early heavy rock tone palette.
