Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Suhr’s Hombre is an 18W tube amplifier head centered on Normal and Bright channels, each with straightforward Volume and Tone controls. Its tube-biased tremolo has Speed and Intensity controls and responds differently as notes are played and decay, giving the effect an active role in the performance. An effects loop and two speaker outputs broaden how it can be arranged in a stage or studio rig. The supplied single-button footswitch switches the tremolo; a speaker cabinet is a separate purchase.
