Overview

Hombre, Suhr’s take on the classic Brownface tones that have inspired 

John Suhr since his early days as a guitarist. The intention was clear: create 

a modern take on these classic designs while preserving the vintage heri-

tage�

The purity of the signal path is part of Hombre’s beauty. It results in a play-

ing experience that is incredibly dynamic and touch-sensitive. A simple turn 

of the volume and tone controls will put a shocking range of sound at your 

fingertips.

Clean tones are classic, gorgeous and bell-like, but make no mistake, this 

amp is a dirty little combo. It wants to be pushed into sweet overdrive, con-

juring tones from the 1970s era of Texas blues-rock.

The on-board Dynamic Tube Bias tremolo imparts an unmistakably rich, 

sought after sound, that simply can’t be imitated. Hombre is driven by a 

~20-watt 6V6 power section and features a lightweight cabinet loaded with a 

12″ Celestion V-Type speaker.
