HOMBRE

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 heritage.

The purity of the signal path is part of Hombre’s beauty. It results in a playing 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, conjuring tones from the 1970s era of Texas blues-rock.

The onboard 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.

 

PURE SIGNAL PATH

Hombre features a Normal and Bright channel with straightforward Volume and Tone controls. A simple, transparent signal path is something many players find alluring due to the purity of tone and superb dynamic range.

Our 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 amp is pushed harder, or the musician plays harder, the tremolo effect is less noticeable, yet as the signal decays the effect becomes more apparent. This results in a stunning effect that lives and breathes with the music.

 

VINTAGE CABINET DESIGN

Hombre is a lightweight 1×12 combo that is the perfect grab-and-go companion for both gigs 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, we chose a 12″ Celestion® V-Type speaker to accompany Hombre.

SUHR BELLA AMPLIFIERS

 

Bella is a portable, American voiced, hand-wired, all-tube amplifier, designed to be the ideal grab-n-go amplifier and the ultimate platform for your pedalboard. Bella’s simple and easy to use controls (including Boost and 3-position Bright switch) make it a snap to tailor the amp to your favorite boost, overdrive, fuzz and distortion pedals; while the effects loop is the ideal place for all of your chorus, flange, delay, and reverb pedals.

Bella is powered by a duet of 6L6GC power tubes that deliver either 22 or 44 Watts of Class A/B power and is available in a head or combo format, with or without reverb.

SELECTABLE WATTAGE

The Bella can be selected to run at either 44 or 22 watts. Choose 44 watts when you need the boldest tone with the most clean headroom. Choose 22 watts when you want the amp to break up sooner and at lower volumes.

SWITCHABLE BOOST & BRIGHT

TWO POSITION BOOST: This 2-position switch varies Bella’s input gain stage via the front panel or the footswitch (sold separately) jack located on the back of the amplifier. Engaging the boost provides +6dB of boost at the first gain stage.

THREE POSITION BRIGHT: The bright switch has three selections available.

  • In the down position: the Bright switch is out of the circuit.
  • In the middle position: Bella introduces a modest amount of brightness that brings out the guitar’s upper frequencies.
  • If you desire more organic chime, set Bella’s Bright switch to the up position. This position naturally opens up the top-end, allowing all of your guitar’s higher frequencies to shine through.

TRANSPARENT EFFECTS LOOP

Bella is equipped with a full-featured, all-tube series effects loop which performs equally well with pedals and line-level rack gear via the loop’s independent send and return controls. The effects loop was designed to be extremely clean and transparent, making it the ultimate effects platform.

YOUR PEDALS HAVE NEVER SOUNDED SO GOOD

Bella has been specially designed with your pedals in mind and it’s the ultimate, clean, pedal platform. It responds to virtually any pedal in a tone-full way and even the bright switch is friendly with most overdrives and distortions.

VERSATILITY ON THE FLY

The standard Bella has a single button foot switch (sold separately) available for the selectable boost. The Bella Reverb has a two button foot switch available to remotely switch the boost and reverb circuit.

TUBE DRIVEN SPRING REVERB

Available on select models

The optional reverb circuit was painstakingly designed to offer players the ultimate reverb experience without coloring or altering the sound of Bella or your instrument’s natural tone.
