Supro Just Made Their Coolest Amp EVER – Meet the Airwave
🎸 Introduction: Supro Gets Modern – Finally
If you’re even slightly into guitar amps, you’ve probably heard of Supro. Known for its roots in the golden age of rock ’n’ roll, Supro has built a reputation for vintage aesthetics, warm tube tone, and old-school simplicity.
But today? Things just changed. Supro’s new Airwave is possibly the most forward-thinking amp they’ve ever released. In this article (and the video above), we’ll dive into what makes this amp so unique—including a surprise collaboration with Two Notes that puts it in a category of its own.
⚡️ The Supro Airwave – Why It’s a Big Deal
The Supro Airwave isn’t just another pretty combo amp with a vintage grill cloth. This is a full-on hybrid amp that combines analog tube circuitry with modern digital tech. And for the first time ever in a Supro? Cab sim and impulse response technology—straight out of the box.
Highlights at a Glance:
Class-A 25-watt tube power section
Two Notes Torpedo tech built-in
Loadable IRs for speaker/mic simulation
Pedal platform design with onboard FX loop
Selectable output modes (for DI, cab, headphones, or live use)
This is not just “another Supro.” It’s a Supro for the modern guitarist who doesn’t want to give up feel, tone, or flexibility.
🛠️ Build and Aesthetic: Old-School Cool, New-School Features
Supro has always nailed the visual vibe, and the Airwave is no exception. It’s wrapped in their classic tweed-style tolex with retro knobs and minimalist branding. But under that classy skin, you’ll find features that would make most modeling amps blush.
nside, you’ve got:
2x 12AX7 preamp tubes
2x EL84 power tubes
2 x XLR Line out with cab sim
headphone out

🔊 The Two Notes Partnership: Game-Changing
Let’s not gloss over this: the Two Notes Torpedo integration is a huge step forward for Supro. Two Notes is a French company famous for their cab sim loaders and reactive load boxes. Their tech is beloved by pros for delivering studio-grade tones without miking a cabinet.
With the Airwave, you get:
Preloaded IRs of vintage and modern cabinets
Adjustable mic placement, type, and EQ
Silent recording or headphone use
A fully digital DI output for FOH use
Imagine playing a real tube amp and sending a perfect FOH mix with zero mics. That’s what this does.
🎧 What Does It Sound Like?
Spoiler: It sounds amazing. In the demo video, you’ll hear a range of tones—from shimmering clean to creamy overdrive and searing leads.
The amp handles pedals like a champ, but honestly, the onboard tones are enough for most use cases.
🎯 Who Is the Supro Airwave For?
This isn’t a beginner amp, but it’s also not reserved for pros only. The Airwave sits in a sweet spot: flexible enough for gigging, but also simple enough for home or studio use.
Ideal Users:
Guitarists who want tube tone + digital convenience
Studio players who don’t want to mic a cabinet
Gigging musicians tired of hauling pedalboards and load boxes
Content creators who want silent recording
If you’ve been on the fence between a tube amp and a modeler—this might be your answer.
