2. ANATOMY AND USAGE
2.1 FRONT PANEL
IN 1+2
Instrument input for using channel 1 and channel 2 in parallel. Plugging an instrument into this input, sends the signal to both preamps in parallel. When a second instrument is connected to In 2, In 1+2 only connects to channel 1.
IN 2
Instrument input for using channel two by itself.
VOL 1
Controls the volume level of channel 1.
VOL 2
Controls the volume level of channel 2.
TONE
Controls Bass/Treble balance.
SPEED
Controls the speed of the Tremolo effect.
TREMOLO FTSW
Allows remote shutoff of the Tremolo function via latching footswitch, using a 1/4” TS cable.
DEPTH
Controls the depth of the Tremolo effect.
STANDBY SWITCH
This turns on the high voltage to the tubes. The tubes should warm up for at least one minute before turning Standby switch to ON. Be sure that the Volume control is set to a reasonable position before switching the amplifier ON as this amplifier can be very loud! For short breaks (5 minutes or less), using the Standby switch will increase tube life.
PILOT LIGHT
This shows that AC Mains voltage is flowing to the amplifier.
POWER SWITCH
Turns on AC power to the amplifier. The Power switch should be turned on, and the pilot light should be lit for 1 minute before turning the Standby switch to ON.
2.2 REAR PANEL
SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The Black Magick provides one 8 Ohm and two 4 Ohm speaker outputs. When using a single 8 Ohm speaker, such as the internal speaker, connect the speaker or cabinet to the 8 Ohm jack. If using two 8 Ohm speakers or cabinets, plug them both into the 4 Ohm jacks. (The logic here is that two 8 Ohm loads connected in parallel add up to a 4 Ohm total load.) When using the internal speaker with an extension cabinet, be sure to move the internal speaker to one of the 4 Ohm outputs.
IEC POWER CORD RECEPTACLE / FUSE HOLDER
The power cord connects here and to your country’s appropriate wall outlet. Make sure to connect the male end of the IEC POWER CORD into a Grounded Power Outlet. This IEC connector contains the AC Mains fuse. This is a 20mm, T2.5A250V Fuse.
2.3 SETTING TONES
The two channel preamp found in your Black Magick is designed to provide a wide variety of sounds, from clean to mean and everything in between. Begin by setting the volume knobs to 9:00 and the tone knob to 12:00.
Plugging into the first input, labeled “In 1+2”, sends your guitar signal into both channels simultaneously. This clever approach combines both preamps in parallel for double the signal power and gain. Using the In 1+2 results in a thicker overall texture. A good starting point is setting the volume controls to 12:00, the tone knob to 12:00 to achieve a massive, wide-range sound that combines both preamps. Plugging into the second input, labeled “In 2”, sends your guitar signal through channel 2 only. This is the authentic Supro sound. This input path provides the most headroom and vintage mojo.
Plugging separate instruments into each input will separate the two channels, providing independent control of volume and tone for each instrument.
Using a simple A/B switch, you can plug a single instrument into both inputs to achieve (phase coherent) channel switching in its purest form. Try turning the volume of channel 1 to 12:00 while cranking the volume on channel 2 all the way up to be used as a lead channel.
The tremolo effect is applied at the output stage and modulates the amplitude of the audio signal coming from both preamps. Adjust speed and depth to taste.
Supro amplifiers are some of the most dynamically sensitive guitar amplifiers ever designed. The player is able to access a myriad of sounds within this amplifier by turning the volume(s) up to the point of glorious overdrive and simply controlling the strength of the signal right from the volume knob on the guitar.

2.4 TUBES
Each Supro tube amplifier is a 100% analog, 100% tube amplifier. There are no solid state (transistor) devices in any audio signal path.
2.5 TROUBLESHOOTING
Supro products have been designed for years of trouble-free service. There are many unique protection features to the design. If you are having difficulties, check the following:
No sound, but pilot light is ON
Check to see that the speaker is plugged into the speaker jack (not the footswitch jack). Make sure all knobs are turned up past zero and that the Standby switch is set to operate. As this is a tube amplifier, the tubes take approximately 1 minute to warm up before you will get sound. The Standby switch should be set to standby for this warm up period.
No sound and the lights are all OFF
Unplug the power cord and check the 2.5A, 250V fuse (rear panel).
