Colby Amplification Super-G

A brand new amp from the legendary Colby Amplification, exclusively available at L.A. Vintage Gear, The Colby Super-G!

The Colby Super-G is Mitch Colby’s meticulous tribute to one of the most revered British amplifiers ever produced, the legendary 60-watt Laney Supergroup. Hand-built in the USA using premium components and traditional construction techniques, the Super-G captures the raw power, punch, and unmistakable character that made the original Supergroup a cornerstone of classic British rock tone. Inspired by the amplifiers heard on countless iconic recordings, the Super-G delivers massive headroom, explosive dynamics, and a rich harmonic complexity that rewards every nuance of a player’s touch.

Drawing on more than five decades of experience designing, restoring, and studying vintage amplifiers, Mitch Colby has carefully recreated the spirit of the original while refining every detail for modern reliability and consistency. The result is an amplifier that retains the thunderous authority, articulate midrange, and singing overdrive of a vintage Supergroup while offering the craftsmanship and dependability expected from a world-class boutique amplifier.

Whether paired with a treble booster for classic British crunch, pushed into rich power-tube saturation, or used as a dynamic pedal platform, the Super-G delivers the bold, uncompromising voice that made the original design legendary. From soaring lead tones to massive open chords, every note carries the depth, dimension, and authority that define the finest examples of vintage British amplification.

Like all Colby amps, the Super-G is thoughtfully voiced and built with premium components for outstanding tone and reliability. A fantastic boutique combo that captures vintage character in a compact, inspiring package.

About Colby Amplification:

My life with amps began when I started playing guitar in 1965 at the age of 12. Not much later, I played with bands and gigged. Soon after, I began fixing my own amplifiers. In 1978 I worked for a short time at Electro Harmonix testing pedals before they were shipped out from the NYC factory. I was hired by Unicord in 1980 (which later became Korg USA) and rose through the ranks from product specialist to Executive VP. For much of the 32 years with the company I was in charge of the distribution of Marshall amps for the US market. In 1992 Korg acquired VOX and I took responsibility for resurrecting the VOX brand.  When VOX once again became successful, the reins were taken over by Korg Japan and a team of dedicated professionals at VOX UK.

In 2010 when I left Korg USA, I started my own amplifier company. After introducing a couple of wish-list Colby amp designs, I acquired the Park brand and for ten years resurrected Park by building the high quality hand-wired classic amps which were originally built by Marshall in their UK factory. After a couple of years, I introduced a few new and updated Park amplifier designs which have become staples of the brand. Park was sold to Hiwatt in 2022.

In 2019, along with Perry Margouleff and Jimmy Page, I recreated the amp that Jimmy used on Led Zeppelin 1. This exacting recreation finally offered guitar players the sounds that Jimmy used to changed music in 1969. That’s because Jimmy had hidden the amp and it’s secrets for 50 years. 😉
