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.

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.

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.
