Just discovered these amps.

https://jchesteramplification.com/
Played through the Jc15 yesterday . It was in my friend guitar shop it came in on a trade.
I passed on it nice amp though decent headroom. Although 15 watts is too much for me to use at home. Not sure if my Dunc the furry chunk golden was impressed by it as much as i was.
As he was working the room for belly rubs from my friend’s daughters.

I have an emotional support amp at home. I hardly ever turn it on. It also doubles as my home defense weapon. If the neighbors get too loud, I just point this thing in their general direction.

When I do turn it on, I run it through a THD Hotplate so I can get the good sound at much lower volumes. As for Supro, the company I work for now used to represent them in the southeastern US. We handled them up until about a year and half ago. I like the Delta Kings for the money, but my favorite amp at the time was the Keeley Custom 10. It's a great pedal platform. I haven't heard the newer amps though. I imagine they sound really good. Nothing I heard from Supro sounded bad. I didn't get to play them all though. I'm not one of the field sales guys so I didn't usually get to handle the sales demo units. I used to play bass and do roadie work full time for a living, but that was way back in the 20th century. Now, I like playing on my couch whenever my cat lets me.

I see one on Reverb for $850. Tells me the new ones aren't outrageously expensive
