The "Keeley" Clean Channel:This channel is derived from the popular 1970RK Keeley Custom. It is engineered for maximum headroom and serves as a pristine "pedal platform."It stays clean even at high stage volumes, providing a firm low-end and a clear top-end that doesn't "mush out" when hit with heavy drive pedals or drop-tuned guitars.
The "Zinky" Overdrive Channel:Designed by Bruce Zinky (known for his work on the Fender Custom Shop Tone Master and Prosonic), this channel features multiple cascaded gain stages.It offers the most gain of any Supro model, ranging from a subtle bluesy breakup to thick, harmonically rich saturation.It includes a dedicated 3-band EQ and a master volume to help balance it against the clean channel.
