Description

Those familiar with Supro and Valco counterparts know these amps for their fantastic, crunchy tones. This is a rare and somewhat mysterious version of the 6151, notable for its 10" speaker (instead of the usual 8") and its dual power-tube, single-ended design—similar in concept to a Gibson GA-8. It also has one octal preamp tube, and one 9-pin, which is a very unique combination.

The straightforward volume-and-tone layout really shines when you crank the volume, rewarding you with rich, raw character. The front grill cloth appears to have been replaced, and the speaker was reconed in 1995, along with the power cord. Otherwise, the amp remains original.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
