Suhr Hombre 20W 1x12 tube combo amplifier
Product Overview
Suhr Hombre 1x12 tube combo amplifier
Hombre has a Normal and Bright channel with straightforward Volume and Tone controls. A simple, transparent signal path is something many guitar players find alluring due to the purity of tone and superb dynamic range.
The goal was to maintain the vintage characteristics while simultaneously making some improvements to the design. Painstaking attention was given to the component layout and signal path to reduce noise. Hombre is equipped with custom made transformers that are wound on paper bobbins and made in the USA.
Dynamic Tube Bias Tremolo
Bias Tremolo circuits are truly unique in that the effect is created by modulating the bias of the power tubes. As the power tube bias is lowered and raised, it imparts an unmistakably rich, sought after sound, that only a Tube Bias Tremolo can.
There’s a distinct interaction that exists between the tremolo and the dynamics of the musician. The intensity of the tremolo can be influenced by how hard or soft the guitar is played. When the amplifier is pushed harder, or the guitarist plays harder, the tremolo effect is less noticeable, yet as the signal decays the effect becomes more apparent. This results in a amazing effect that lives and breathes with the music.
Vintage Cab Design
Hombre is a lightweight 1×12 combo that is the perfect grab-and-go companion for both concerts and studio sessions. The cabinet is a vintage design made from box jointed pine and features a floating baffle. After many hours of listening and testing, Suhr chose a 12″ Celestion® V-Type speaker to accompany Hombre.
