Features and functionality
-
The Supro 1624T's first input is designed to parallel both channels, causing it to break up faster for those seeking a quicker sag effect.
Source -
When using both inputs simultaneously, the controls for channel 2 will affect both channels, potentially pushing channel 2 too hard and altering the sound.
Source -
Input 1 activates both channels simultaneously via a dual mono split, allowing for individual tone settings and channel volume mixing for tonal versatility.

In this photo of Frusciante's "live room", included in this June 16, 2016 article on his official website about The Almighty Instrumental Mixes, a Supro amp can be seen at the back of the room. Based on the pin pattern that attaches the grill cloth to the cab, it appears to be the 1624T Dual-Tone model.
My live room, created by contractor Jacques Lacroix, acoustician Vincent Van Hoff, and my studio manager Anthony Zamora, was the main place I got room sounds, reverbs, and atmosphere on these recordings. I sent sounds and performances from my computer into the room where they would come through a speaker, making the room reverberate, which would then be picked up by a room mic, the cable of which would bring this sound to my mixing board, from where it would return to the computer, where I would combine the rooms acoustics with the source sound. I’d generally do a certain amount of subtractive eq on my computer when sending the sound into the room, then on my mixing board when the sound came back to me, and also on the computer again when fitting it into the entire mix. These are two pictures of the room, each from opposite angles.
Wes is using this amp for demoing/recording in late 2018 for the new Limp Bizkit album. You see this amp in multiple of Instagram posts.
Legendary guitarist Steve Stevens wails on his new Supro 1624T Dual-Tone Reissue 1×12 Combo Amplifier
This Supro Dual Tone is only part of Teranishi’s dual-amp setup and rests comfortably atop a blonde Fender Bassman 2x12 cab loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s.
I emailed Supro to ask which model Supro amps Taking Back Sunday is using live and on their new record "Tidal Wave" and the email I got back said, "Hey Tom,
The band has two Thunderbolts (regular, not +), two Dual-Tones, and one Coronado.
I understand they did use Supro amps on Tidal Wave, but I don't have any specific details.
Eddie says: "By far the best amp on the planet. The low end and high gain is unbelievable. And it's all in a compact amp, it's all you need."
Hope that helps!
