Who is Bruce Zinky?
Bruce Zinky is an American Electronic Engineer based in Flagstaff, Arizona
After graduating from Chico State University, he headed the Fender amplifier "custom shop" in the early 1990s, helping to return Fender to the forefront of quality professional instrument amplifier manufacturers. After leaving Fender, he began marketing the Smokey Amp - a tiny, but powerful amplifier so called because it was made to fit in a cigarette pack. With this success, he went on to market a line of amplifiers under his own name.
He revealed a new line called Supro, based on a 1960s trademark, at the 2005 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. Bruce was interviewed for the NAMM Oral History Program in 2010 in which he spoke about the early days of his career in the music industry.
