Thank you for putting this up there. I just bought one of these amps used as my first tube amp. I love the tones you are getting. I am having a really hard time seeing where the knobs are set to, because of how small the little white dots are. Would you be willing to post an approximate number setting for each knob for these tones? I would very much appreciate it.
This is my upcoming selection for a new amp . I have a Steve Vai legacy drive amp and was wondering if I should run gain pedal into the front end or fx loop?
I bought this amp a few weeks ago and wasn't impressed off the bat. I swapped the tubes and gained some moderate sound improvements but wasn't really all that happy. Despite some of the tones I was hearing on other youtube videos, I just couldn't dial in something I was happy with. I was going to put it up for sale, but I came across this video. I have to say, this review is a masterclass in how to get the best tones out of this amp. I am floored by the sound I am getting now and I would be kicking myself if I had sold it. Well done, Jack. You've got a lifelong fan in me.
Hey that’s awesome, thank you! Glad it was helpful.
He did the same for me an my Tweed Blues Junior iii! He's an "amp whisperer" :)
You're one of those impatient newby or amateur people that want to be a guitarist but don't have the drive and motivation to learn, might as well play a freaking UKELELE or tambourine...As the saying goes "nothing or nobody is completely worthless or useless, they can serve as a bad example.
And you really fit in to that saying... 😆
@@brucechavez9535 Yikes.
I saw a recent video in which the Reviewer replaced the #1(position) 12AX7 tube with a Muller 12 AU7 tube. Wow, what a difference...significant boost in speaker "head room" & definition. Breakup can & does still happen but at a significantly higher volume/power level. Absolutely improved the tones & volume level of the amp.
Highly recommend!!!
How about a link there chief.
LOL. Yet another visitor from the Sweetwater deal! This was a FANTASTIC review. So in-depth and just full of great tips. Subbed!
This is the best amp review I've ever heard. This guy has great ears. Subbed.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the support ~
Same. Kudos!
For me, when you pulled out the Gretsch, that's what made me decide to get the amp. I'm over hearing Fender and Les Paul for every demo.
thanks for the attention to clean tone, very helpful
My BK12 is getting here today, I love the nuanced EQ advice! Best gear review I’ve heard in a while!
Enjoy! Glad you liked the video! These are cool amps. I want to try out the new BK10 also.
@@JackFossett pretty sure you can put 6v6 in your 12 blues king 12
REALLY appreciate the review. Buying one and have been a student of every review - this one's the definitive. Thanks!
Awesome, glad to hear it!
@@JackFossett Hey, thank you!
After owning this amp for nearly a year, I'm still learning things. I keep watching reviews and demos in hopes of finding more.
Side note: I tend to run mine clean with the treble and bass rolled back, mid at 2, and driven by a Tumnus. Great Jimmy Page tones.
The right player, playing the right styles into the right amp. That was wonderful, Jack.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
bought mine through ZZounds at 5:30pm on wednesday, it arrived at my house at 1pm on thursday. Thank you for the review, this thing sounds killer! I especially liked the sound with my P90 les paul.
Can't find a thing about where its manufactured. Do you know?
Christopher Havanas I checked all over the amp and I could not find any place of origin. It’s well made though, I’m happy with the quality no matter where it came from
Christopher Havanas China man )))
I sent back the Supro BK8 and traded up to this one. The BK8 wasn't loud enough for me. I like having the volume if needed and having a defined sound at lower volumes. After watching this again, I made the right decision.
Nice! I'm actually anxious to try the new BK10. I've been having a huge love affair with Supro amps this year.
Even the BK 12 could use a better speaker like a nice Celestions It would enhance the gain stage I've had mine for almost a year Try the line out to a bigger amp Into my 100 watt amp it is really awesome Enjoy
Beautiful Gretsch tones
Man Jack you've got a sweet collection. I'm super jelly about that White SG that's my Grail for sure. Thanks for all of the insight and wisdom I truly appreciate and enjoy it.
Great playing! You really showed the different tones that the amp can hit, exactly what I needed to hear to go ahead and purchase one so thank you!
Awesome, thank you! Hope you like it!
Appreciate the demo man. Can tell you spent time with this thing. You seem real and it comes through in the playing and discussion of tone shaping. Thanks again..
I appreciate that! Glad it was helpful ~
Jack you do some sweet amp demos dude. Put that amp through it's paces. Pretty nice sounding amp.
Just picked one up yesterday...Black Friday deal...2020.....WOW...@ Sweetwater...what a great deal..this Supro amp, a gain and boost Supro foot switch, a Supro cover, free shipping and a Supro 15’ cable.....for $349.00 out the door! I will update later. This is a great review..lots of nice tones and sounds. Thanks for the motivation!
What a deal. Glad I picked one up too. I’m glad I bought it right away. They went on back order about 6 hours after that deal was advertised.
I guess we lucked out.....with the extras and reduced price on the amp and free shipping I had to get it...figure we got it for 1/2 off. I got the Fed X tracking on it the next day ...coming in 2 boxes...will be here Tuesday..
this amp sounds superb with that les paul........
I agree. I liked it with alot of guitars actually. Pretty versatile little box.
@@JackFossett this amp sounds great with all guitars
The two best tones were back to back - the filthy slide noise pulled out my wallet, then the gritty tele clean pulled out my money...
Yeah I think thats definitely what this amp does best -- that old fashioned exploding amp tone
These seem to shine with the tele’s
Great review Jack. I’ve got a blues king 12 and love it. My Les Paul and Strat sound great and I got a highway one telecaster it sounds great through it too. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Cheers from Chicago.
Awesome, thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well - haven’t been to Chicago for about 5 years but I’d love to get back
@@JackFossett come for a visit in a post-pandemic. You’d love the Chicago music exchange.
I had one and liked it but I traded it for a Bluguitar amp1. Saw the Sweetwater black Friday deal and snagged another one. I found on the one I had the speaker really needs time to break in.
What a steal that sale was. Picked one up also. 300 off, can’t beat that deal!
I just purchased one as well.
Great deal from Sweetwater 😃
I played this at my local guitar center a few times and I think it’s a fun little combo. Definitely Led Zeppelin I vibes. Sweetwater has a great deal for Black Friday. $329 for the amp plus you get the foot switch, a cover, and a cable.
Got mine!!!! Supro Blues fun in a week or so.
Got one too. Couldn’t pass that deal up
Same here!
Me too. I wasn't even looking to buy this amp and it came up on my Google suggested search. I couldn't believe the price. Ordered it from Sweetwater for $299 Black Friday special.
The lising for the amp is no longer on their website
Glad I ordered quickly
@@jamesmarcin4787 I noticed that. They sold like hotcakes. I’m glad I got mine ordered when I did.
Very in depth and informative review. Great job as always!
Rick Schnur thanks Rick!
Hi Jack - you are a terrific resource for us guitarists and musicians. Your videos are AWESOME and chock full of very valuable information.
This video was one of the reasons that I had my eye out for any sales of either the Supro Blues King 10 or 12. I was keeping my fingers crossed on the 12 and sure enough, the oft-mentioned Sweetwater Black Friday sale occurred last week, and I was able to snag this awesome amplifier for $329 including footswitch, cover, and cable.
I can go on about why this amp is a perfect fit for me but that's not the point. I did want to relay something to you that appears to be a common complaint of these amps. The reverb on this amp appears to get unusable past 9 or 10 o'clock. This is an observation made not just by me but several others on a popular guitar forum, and, some users in the comments below (namely @Pierre G).
It's a little hard to explain but immediately evident when hearing it occur. It starts to get 'mechanical'? 'Washy'? 'Echoey'? at even slightly higher levels. Plus, the tail on the reverb is unusually long. I don't know if that is a Supro characteristic or not, but, it really does seem to be longer than other stock amp spring reverbs. I don't know, do you think there could be some quality control issues with the spring reverb components? Could it be related to the preamp tube? (Sorry, I'm not really an amp tech). I have heard of others swapping out the stock preamp tube in order to get some more clean headroom, and I wonder if there is a relationship between a poor quality preamp tube and the end result of the reverb effect.
Finally, I would be woefully remiss if I did not mention how spectacular of a player you are. Your original compositions are superb. I love to stumble onto your videos no matter what you are reviewing! Thanks for sharing your invaluable insights.
Hey, thank you for all that! I appreciate the kind words, really glad you enjoyed the video. It was funny, this video had been getting pretty steady views, but suddenly tons of views and comments due to the Sweetwater sale.
Regarding the reverb -- as cool an amp as this is, it is still an inexpensive "consumer level" amp. Sounds like something might be fishy with yours, but the stock reverb tank is pretty cheap. A nice reverb tank would be a pretty easy mod to make this amp better. Tubes as well, like you mentioned. I'm not a tech so I can't comment much more than that though.
Yes a very cool amp I got one when they first came out Impulse purchase LoL but no regrets at all Love the boost but not so about the gain function but maybe a AU7 in the preamp stage would help that What really shined for me was the line out Into my 100 watt Tonemaster it really sounded great Almost turned it into a no pedals needed situation Plus both amps have fx loops so leaves that issue wide open Maybe a speaker upgrade to one with more headroom would be something to think about to make it a top shelf small gig amp But overall I would recommend this amp and great price point as well Fantastic demo Jack Good stuff 👍
I got one of these recently to use with my Les Paul- I was looking for a low wattage tube amp a bit more aggressive than the blues junior. I have so far been pretty satisfied with the tones. Im most pleased with the natural breakup with and without the boost. The gain is acceptable with a compression pedal engaged. The volume/gain function is nice to have at low volumes and the fact the amp isnt unbearably loud at full tube saturation is also very convenient. Breakup is tight, but wish it had a little less low-clipping. Chassis removal is easy if tubes have to be changed out (mine had messed up tubes so i stuck in name brand tubes). When i engage the bridge humbucker, im getting a bit of a scooped sound- i think thats the voice of the 490t pickup, id like to scrap those for some duncan paf replicas at some point. The amp is rewarding, and inspires me to play a few hours everyday on the weekend, and a hour or more after work days.
Excellent assessment of the amp. I found the same thing with the lower end clipping, but could be reasonably pulled out with the bass knob rolled back.
@@JackFossett I'm taking your advice and playing a more mid-heavy trebly tone with the bass rolled off. I'll experiment some more this evening.
great video for learning more about an amp i’m looking at getting! thanks!!
Glad I could help!
Only upgrades I would do is a UA7 in the pre stage only cause I thought the gain stage needed to be a touch cleaner and a better speaker I bought one when they first came out
Forget this fuzzy boxy sounding thing. I want that surf green strat with the lipstick pickups in the background.
Thats a special guitar - sounds as good as it looks too! Here it is on a track - th-cam.com/video/Ti12PmitoYA/w-d-xo.html
Merry Christmas to you‼️Awesome in depth Review as always. Great sounding amp for the price although its Chinese made🚀
thanks Jim!
legit review...
I play a Firebird thru a Supro Dual Tone. I'd like to hear a set of Firebird pickups thru this Supro.
COINCIDENCE ?? Hi Jack, me again - I first looked you up for the Blues Deluxe demo, and today for the SUPRO Blues King. Coincidence that the same guy is selling both and you are helping me select the one I want. On the Blues Deluxe, I agree. Change the speaker to an Eminence Governor (I like em better than the Cannabis), and maybe a new set of Mullard tubes (love the tone I get from JJ and Mullard tubes). great look with the tweed too - With the SUPRO, the one I have in mind buying has a torn speaker cloth, I "think" the speaker is blown and may need new tubes. Based on what I heard on your video - to my ear the SUPRO sounds best with the single coil and Filtron pups. Maybe the Gib LP pups are a little too hot?? To me made the amp sound screechy and a noisy... As for looks the all black is a little drab. Since I have to change the speaker cloth (if I buy it), I would maybe try a vintage brown speaker cloth for a little contrast. ANYWAY - Thanks again for making great and informative videos.
I enjoyed the sound using the Gibson Les Paul! Good demo. I've never played through one but this post gives me an incentive to go to Guitar Center here on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood and check it out! Thank you for this post! Merry Christmas!!
I've been to that Guitar Center! One time when I was in LA I made the trip to see the famous vintage room there. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well ~
@@JackFossett it's an amazing store! Now even greater. They made it bigger and remolded the entire store. It's huge and better vintage and new gear! Merry Christmas!!
That’s a great sounding clean, beautiful. I really like the crunch too. Personally I wouldn’t be using too much gain or boost but it’s nice to have that option. Jack your playing is real nice !!!
Thank you kindly! Here because of the Sweetwater deal? 😉
@@JackFossett yes absolutely. I can’t believe I got 300 off. Deals like that don’t come around too often but it sounds real nice through your demo. I’ll be checking out more of your vids. Subbed and cheers!!
Awesome, thanks!
@@JackFossett I too got the deal from Sweetwater. Funny enough they had the listing on Friday morning at $329 for the amp plus the foot switch, cover, and an instrument cable. Later in the day they had it at $299 so I called my sweetwater sales engineer and he got me the deal that was listed earlier for $329 minus the instrument cable but it’s all good. I got it from FedEx today. It’s a cool sounding amp and all 3 of my guitars(LP, Strat, and Flying V) sound awesome thru it.
Very thorough explanation! And it wasn't scripted, which makes it more believable and genuine. I've owned half a dozen Supro amps, but never this one. You've piqued my interest!
Great to hear!
Curious to hear which ones you have kept I have this amp and an old model 52 as well 😊
Hi Jack, long time listener, first time caller. I would like to ask you between the supro dk12 and the vox ac10, which one is your favourite. I had the vox ac30 and loved it, now i need a smaller amp for travelling. I tried the ac10 at a shop but it didn't feel good, maybe because i wasnt using my telecaster but a squier tele, i don't know. But the digital reverb, even when dialed down, made it sound like a solid state amp to me. I didn't try the supro, from demos i hear here, it sounds a bit boxy and dark. I like loud and articulate cleans and i think that the supro might help with the 12" cone. Also the supro is slighly smaller and has a spring reverb, but i can't find it used in the colour i like, which is the black and black. Any advice is highly appreciated. Best, Denis
Hi Jack. The settings of the knobs is very hard to see in the video . Is it possible to describe the various settings ?
Can you publish various settings? Difficult and sometimes impossible to read settings. Thanks.
Hey brother, it's me again! Between the Blues King and the Delta King, who wins?? Thank you very much and Rock On!!
Thanx for your review (and your playing)... I especially like your chemistry with your Tele...
(If I use the word 'your' much more...) So this is a single-ended (one 6L6) design and a
12AX7 pre... Do you happen to know if the spring 'verb has a 12AX7 driving it?
Thanx again for your in-depth and cheers
Thanks! Its not a tube driven reverb, but it is a real spring tank reverb.
Sweetwater has it for $299 Black Friday sale. Just bought it 😃
Same lol!
I got one the day before Friday only...for $349.00...w/ cover, foot switch and cable...glad you got in...looks like you have to order them now...not sure if the price will sustain at $299.00... i but they sold a lot of them..
@@petersindo6981 ,yep Sweetwater called my house and said my amp will come in a couple weeks. Hopefully before Christmas. $299.00 is a fantastic price. They are now no longer listed on their website.
Yes I ordered one but was too late I guess. Spoke with one of their reps and they’re out of stock as of ~8pm Friday night. BUT they didn’t take it down from the internet until after complaints were made. Why keep it up if it’s not in stock? Frustrating. Happy for everyone who got their hands on one though!
That sucks ... when I did see it listed for $299.00 I was pissed BUT I got the cover, cord and foot switch for $349.00 ... They should let you get one for $299.00...since it was still listed... I know Supro was just bought out in the last month by another company...not sure what is going to happen.
Nice demo,
After having this amp for a year Jack have you used the amp w the line out function to a 100 watters or something similar ? If not you really should Into my old Fender CS Tonemaster it sounds like a 3K custom made amp My gosh you should check it out Maybe cause the Tonemaster is such a great amp but w the FX loops on both of those amps Gives you a total of 3 loops which is overkill of course But the loop in the BK is top notch Too much to lug for a gig but in the music room it's gold Check it out Happy Holidays Jack and keep up the fantastic in depth demos 👍
Fantastic review! Probably the best review of the BK12 out there. I really like the idea of this amp, having never actually heard/played one in real life. I'm curious if you have an opinion on the little brother to this amp (BK8)? And I'm also curious about low-volume tone quality out of these amps, since I'm a hobby guitar player and only playing at home. Thanks again!
Thanks! Yeah this is a great amp for use at home. It really doesn't get ridiculously loud and it gets some nice tones at lower volumes.
hi, i was actually looking to buy the 10inch version, because i was nervous the 12 would be too much. but in the end 12 is perfect: the amp is very small i find (smaller than i thought), and it sounds awesome at very low volume. At least on clean sound.
I have the 12 incher too. It can get really loud but it doesn't handle the extreme volumes as well as other 12"/~15 watters. Love the reverb though its always on :)
If you want a fender clone youll be disappointed.
@@-........ Yes I think a better speaker would be nice in this amp Celestions Cream back 65 or something to clean up the gain and boost stage Most good budget combo's could use better speakers IMO I have this amp myself so just saying 😃
@@paulcowart3174 yeah, one day i will get myself a used v30 or something. there are quiet a few of them available used for a good price where I'm at.
Hey Jack, excellent video brother! If you had to pick between this Supro or the Marshall Origin 50, who wins? Thank you very much!!
Thanks! For me, definitely the Supro. But it’s stylistic, I think quality wise, they’re very comparable.
Really enjoyed this demo! Is there anything in this price range youd recommend over the Supro? Its gonna be my first tube amp and I need some help.
Thanks! So it depends on your needs. For the price this one is tough to beat, however, its not the loudest amp and wont give you a ton of clean headroom (i.e. the louder you need it to be, the less clean tones you'll have). Are you playing in a band? The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe would be a more versatile gigging amp with louder clean tones and channel switching, but then this one is more portable and can probably get a wider range of tones.
@@JackFossett what a fantastic and well thought out response. I'm gonna subscribe! Erm we'll it'd be just for practicing and maybe some jamming (for now) but I play peter green and Chicago blues stuff. clean is fairly important I guess
Ryan Boshell this amp will definitely do the Chicago blues thing better. And for practicing and jamming you’ll probably have plenty of cleans.
@@JackFossett thanks man! Gonna order it now. Sounds like an awesome pedal platform too!
Ryan Boshell it is! Enjoy, hope you like it
thanks for the review i ended up buying it, it sounds great clean for sure, not a fan of the high gain (but i dont use it), i am a bit disappointed by the reverb though, it doesn't sound "right" somehow
Oh thats odd... too bright and splashy?
@@JackFossett dont know, it's unusable past 9 o clock, and it goes from too subtle to completely washy. I can't get the nice spring "boing" effect when muting. The amp is great though I've rewatched your video and learned more tips, i hadnt played enough with the settings, also react very differently to the guitars, I love your tone with the tele. thx again for this awesome review.
Yes my sentiments exactly but I don't really care for reverb so not an issue for me Was thinking the best cure would be an AU7 in the pre stage or an upgrade in the speaker would cure the gain/boost issue I like the boost but not the gain so much Happy Holidays
@@paulcowart3174 - i dont know about mod, i also dont know what i did, i tweaked a bit the EQ and now it seems to sound amazing with every guitar i plug in. Reverb is still shit, i put a Mosky $30 spring reverb in the effect loop and it's glorious. Happy holidays (though it's a not a holiday here in Germany)
@@pierreg8562 Thanks for this tip about the Mosky spring reverb. I agree 100% with you, I cannot go past 9 o'clock on the reverb, something happens to it, like it starts to sound mechanical? I always have a little reverb going on, I never turn it off, and It's really disappointing on this amp! The spring reverb was one of the main reasons why I bought it. I'm still quite happy with the amp, but relieved to hear that there could be a very good and inexpensive alternative to fix the reverb. Thanks again.
Love this review Jack! I have a BK12 and I do like it; tons of features for the money and it’s my first tube amp. I wanted more clean headroom so I upgraded to JJ tubes and changed the pre-amp to a 12AU7 long plate (recommendation from another TH-cam channel who did the same).
I still find the tone a bit dark; anyone want to recommend a replacement speaker? I’ve watched tons of TH-cam videos but the ones I like are sounding similar... I’m not sure of TH-cam gives me an accurate sound anyway. So far I like Celestion G12M or Neo Creamback? Eminence Lil’ Texas or Swamp Thang? I’m open to ideas. Furthermore I may not be playing enough on the amp to have broken it in too (kids and a wife prevent using this at night and during the day I use a JHS little black box).
I love Eminence speakers, but they tend to be a bit on the darker side themselves comparatively with other brands, so if you're looking to brighten it up I think a Celestion may be the ticket. I bet a greenback would work well in it.
The only speaker that will do what you want is alnico any one of them , the brighter the better.
I use an old 1959 alnico from an old univox organ for cheap and it's exactly perfect now !
I run Mojotone Greyhounds in my 2x12 and love them. They're a Greenback/Jensen Hybrid. Idk how they would sound through a Supro though.
I also didn't like the darkness and also the really harsh way that it breaks up (although that is part of it's intended sound?). I already had a Celestion Gold 10 in another cabinet and thought it was worth trying. I think it greatly helps with my 2 issues and sounds great. Now I have to decide whether to put the 10 in the Supro (with a reducer) or spring for a 12. I also put a JJ 5751 in the preamp and it has helped raise the headroom nicely as well. I'm also open to any other speaker suggestions
Thanks for in-depth review. I can't afford to drop a grand on a fender champ or a tone king gremlin. Based partly on your review I ordered the bk8. I hope I can get some of those tones out of it with my classic vibes 50's strat. Have a great new year!
Isaiah 38:20
Awesome, glad the video was helpful! Hope you like your new amp, and happy new year to you as well ~
I tried the GRemlin and its MEH
Great video and review. Currently checking to swap my Bugera V55 Infinium with this for the lower wattage and it’s got a great tone as well. I noticed you have a vintage modified squier tele hanging on the wall, is that it? I have the same guitar, would have loved to hear it through the amp...
happy new year bro!
Thank you, happy new years to you as well! I don't have any Squiers there though, which guitar are you referring to?
@@JackFossett the surf green one...seemed to me it had lipstick pickups
@@salvatorevitale9165 Oh yes, that was a limited edition matching headstock American Standard that I installed the lipstick pickups in - one of my favorite guitars!
Sounds like it's really dark and muddy. I think fenders probably have more presence in the higher notes. I just can't hear any chime or brightness.
First! Taz! Gratat Video! Now. My wife works at home--I must keep it low---how well does this amp work at low volumes? I know it doesn't have a headphone out--What work arounds do you recommend that I could use to be able to use this amp with headphones---that may be my only option. Thanks. These amps are the best...
Do you know what it's like for harmonica or any harmonica players who recommend it
I know it is my weakness but I lobed the tele tone (a lot)
What volume level does it start to break up? I play alongside a Fender HR Deville and an AC30, both of which are set to around volume 3-4, and we’re all mic’ed and want to be able to keep up clean-wise.
Against those amps I dont think it will hold up clean to be honest. You'd be able to pull off a mild breakup at best.
@@JackFossett thanks for replying!! but how about the clean tones? we're mic'ed anyway.. so will it break up at around volume 4?
@@BardOfTheSixString Yeah if you're mic'd you'll be fine. You just wont have comparative "stage volume" -- so if you don't use monitors and are relying on hearing the amp on its own on stage, that might be problematic. Otherwise fine.
I think with a higher headroom speaker you would be fine but the BK was designed to break up like the old combo's did Great amp tho but no clean headroom I bought one when they first came out No regrets Love it for what it does
open d for slide ?
Open e 👍
That tele sound great! What is the model and what pickups are in it? Great demo by the way!
Thanks! Its a modified Highway 1 that has Lust for Tone Outlaw pickups and a Tone Man Guitar Tele Blues wiring harness.
Thanks! How is the Supro so far? I’m worry about its reliability.
@@JusAequum worried about its realiablties ? You should not worry, especially if you have any Marshall amps because they are far] more problematic than these supro, vox and Marshall have terrible problems but they outsource to Vietnam and stuff sho they get what they deserve.
I know this video is a bit older, but any insights as to how this sounds paired with a guitar with P90s?
I have one of these. Every time I use it I feel like I'm Marty Mcfly. This amp just bleeds cranked 1950-60 tone.
This is an oldie... well... it’s an oldie where I come from
Hey Jack is there a headphone plug in Jack. ?
Does the line out kill the speaker?
How do you think this amp would handle raw 80s rock, big open g chord stuff? and does a tube screamer/mid range type overdrive tighten up the tone at all?
Hi Jack. I got this amp after your review. Love it but looking for a good low- medium overdrive pedal that might suit it. Any ideas, what about the Tumnus deluxe, Im watching your review of that also! Thanks
Wow just realised that pedal is in this video too, forgot!
Yup! I think any lower gain overdrive would suit it to be honest, just a matter of personal taste. It’s a pretty midrange heavy and gainy amp, so I tend to prefer the Tumnus or a Bluesbreaker style pedal
@@JackFossett hey thanks for the reply!! Appreciated. I find the clean sound great, but gain turns a little fuzzy on the edges, hence an OD to tighten it up a bit.
I got the supro super and i have to send it back so i was thinking about getting the blues king i was wondering if you could tell me if it nails the led zep tones?
“Nails” - probably not, but more than passable Jimmy Page tones. Really fun amp to play with.
Ac10 or Blues King? I wonder. Mostly for home amusement with blues and classic rock.
Definitely Blues King. Way more versatile and better tones IMO.
Most of the stuff after 13 minutes is VERY hard to see the settings on the CRAP knobs, and Yes I own one
Yes. Haha those knobs ugh. I have one too and dislike them. Someone I know changed all his out for cream chicken knobs. I think I'm going to do it too.
@@sketchstuffs Ah cool idea 👍
And for comparison, here's a Supro Delta King 12 being used live: th-cam.com/video/YwQL-ImjyEE/w-d-xo.html
Thought I heard some Smithereens.
Plz use a strat once in a while.
Fender bassbreaker or bk 12?
Either are a good choice. I feel like the Bassbreaker will sound a little bigger and more modern. This will sound more vintage. But realistically they’re small differences.
Jack Fossett Thank you! And of course a very good review like always
Would you recommend this over a vox ac10? The digital reverb on the ac10 doesn't bother me, and I play classic rock, indie rock, jazz, and doom metal. I'd like a tube amp that will sound good at low volumes, but also be able to play small bar gigs. Which amp is more durable? Thanks for making cool reviews, subbed.
Thanks! So overall I think the Supro is way better than the Vox, however if you also play metal, the Vox gets more of a buzzsaw type drive that may suit you better. But I'm not hugely familiar with that genre so it depends -- the Supro gets more of a low end fuzz drive whereas the Vox has that upper midrange scream.
Maybe an AC15 The BK breaks up quite a bit Needs a Celestions IMO
Very dark clean tones :(
Just play brother. The tone will let us know. Starts playing at 13:20
Otherwise great review
No I start playing at 0:01.
Mine smoked and died within 10 minutes new out of the box….
Tbh should've blasted some zeppelin 😄
Next time!
Hmm most of my amps thin out the more gain i use
How does this works with pedals? Like a delay in front or drive...?
I use an overdrive in the video and it has an FX loop
The FX loop works great Supposedly you can run your whole pedal board through it What I really like is using the line out to a 100 watt amp It's like the perfect frosting on a fantastic cake Yummy fo sho
Cant see knob settings..
most of you´ll can´t juice out a good amp, what a shame.
This amp sounds terribly mediocre to me. Why would anyone buy this Supro when there are so many choices of better sounding amps on the market?
Ok 🍻
Your blame is not serious until you say which amps are better and why. Dont forget to get in point also FX loop/boost etc and cca 15-20W power. Thnaks ;)

I cant find any translation.

If you cant get a good tone out of an amp like this maybe you should find a new hobby.
12 minutes in and he is still yammering ? stop.
I learned so much in this 12 mins about TONE! He’s a great commentator and uses language well to add color to his experience and hearing.
He's explaining the controls and what he found they do specifically. Very useful to know to dial it in quicker.
talk less, dude...
Nope
Comment less, bruh.
Why would someone give this video a thumbs down?
