I play an Esteve classical through this amp and it sounds real good. Telecaster, Stratocaster, les pauls, archtops, and resonators all sound really good through the amp out of the box. Definitely an under the radar amp. Spread the word. 👍👍
Well, I learned more about this amp in the first 10 minutes or so of this video than in the other 20 or so I watched before finding this. And then the next 17 minutes were just, damn. I'm sold. The first time I heard one of these it got my attention. I've been all over TH-cam listening to them but no one put it through its paces like this. You rocked this thing. The only thing lacking, I would have liked to hear some humbuckers too. Oh well, I'll be hearing mine very soon. Thanks!
I love this amp. I sold my 30kg Marshall JVM and got this little bad boy. It really sounds like a tube amp at all volumes. In fact it sounds like the tubes are running really hot all the time, which I love! It's very expressive and sensitive. To my surprise, when gigging it and cranking it, it gets quite monstrous. I was playing in a band with another guitarist using a fender bassman, and the mic'd supro didn't sound out of place at all. It's got a great clean so sounds great with pedals. I run it with a tubescreamer and a Strat with P90s and it sounds beautiful.
I have the last generation, the Blues King 12, and the previous owner put an Eminence Redcoat speaker in it. I love that amp so much! I can't see any difference between it and the Delta King... except, yours is much better looking, and mine has a full effects loop rather than the power amp in, and of course, yours has a better guitar player attached to it, but otherwise, I think they are identical. It was such a great deal! Nice video.
I bought my Blues King 12 when Sweetwater had their Black Friday special last year. $299. They even included a guitar cable. I was in Shock when I saw the price. I was lucky to snag one before it sold out. It's an awesome amp. Love it
Man, If they made a 50 watt version of this it would be killer this little amp is killer already but with all that much more power it would be an incredible live amp. I'm saving and picking one of these up asap!
By the time you put an extension speaker, an overdrive pedal. Way loud.. They one out. I wasn't too enthusiastic about the tone of the royal. The 8 inch Reverb sounds fantastic... Not loud enough with a band. No matter what judging by a TH-cam video is fair. How do you hear the warmth of a tube driven amplifier through your computer??? Too many variables!!! I've never heard the sound quality of the Keeley, Amulet, or the Reverb in my life .. Supro nailed it..
I just played a Supro Delta King 15 today. Didn't spend a lot of time with it but I liked it. After your review I think I'm going back tomorrow and get to know it better. Maybe it'll come home with me ? Thanks for your videos Budda. I've been watching for some time but decided to subscribe today. Always good tips on how to get what you want out of an amp. Thanks again.
Great no BS review ....have 'almost' bought this a few times now since they released the Supro King with the effect loop...but after watching alot of TH-cam vidoes thought no !....but after your demo its a buy ...great video ...many thanks
I have been thinking of getting the Supro Delta King - 12 or 10. Your review is the best I have seen putting this amp through it's paces and has REALLY got me leaning towards getting myself one. I also enjoy what you are playing too. I mostly play 60's type rock/blues like the Yardbirds. And I think this amp would sound great playing them. Thanks for the awesome review!
Great demo! I have that amp for three months now and really like it. Your demo gave me some new settings to try. I actually thought you got some better tones with just the amp and adjusting your guitar volume than with a lot of the pedals but I know that is subjective.
I only play at home and ditched my Princeton Clone Amp and buying my first ever multi-effects unit. The Fractal FM9. We will see if I miss the tone coming out of pedals and an amp 😀 Nice amp but ears only like 6V6;tubes.
I went to a guitar shop today and played through this for the first time. I’ve never heard an ounce of that size in caliver produce such squishy, fat, pretty tones especially while doing blue swallowing. Similar to Robin Trower or Joe Bonamassa. I picked it up right away and it’s my main digging out now with mic’d up
I own the tremoverb and the old blues king. Have had my eye on the original thunderbolt for a while. I like my excelsior, but that thunderbolt...... keep these great reviews up brother! Bought a couple after hearing you ring'em
Great review, thanks! The only thing missing was a little bossa nova like I think you did with the Blues Junior(?) - just to see if it could do that kind of jazzy tone. Anyway I've taken the plunge & am about to collect a DK 12. The fact that it had foot switchable tone options was a big point for me as my old Pro reverb has to be too loud to get good drive from it & Fender still don't have any pedal option for that on the new smaller amps. That said, the versatility just via guitar volume control, which I like to do, sounds great with your guitar.
Another great demo. Thank you! I especially appreciated your using an M160 as that is my main mic I use for recording guitar. This is an amp I am looking at right now as well. Cheers!
"A boost and a drive... which I think gives a boost and a drive" cutting edge analysis right there!! :) Only kidding but I had to laugh. The rest of the information is first class... I've never really thought about any amp EQ as being a gain stage in itself and thus the knobs just cutting from a default position (I realise not all amps will work like this). Really interesting.
@@BuddaGuedes ok thanks for this. So when people say "boost" the mids on the amp are they really saying dont cut the mids as much as bass and treble i.e. something like setying bass and treble on 3 and mids on 8?
@@BuddaGuedes It only has two tubes, a single 12AX7 preamp tube and a single 6L6 power tube. I just purchased this amp and expect delivery tomorrow 3/9/22. I shall come back here and chime in about any effect reverb has on the higher tone frequencies once I become familiar with my new Supro 1822 Delta King 12. I always enjoy your reviews and appreciate your upbeat attitude! - Peter age 71
It Sounds great , this amps are more like an instrument than an amplification device . there are plenty of Moyo voodo sounds in that little amp 🤗 , Congratulations 😉👍
This is a nice amp and im shure under the radar for collectors cause of old school tones, but i hav eit on my list :) still the Blackstar Stuio 10 6L6 id more modern as hearing on sounds
Is this a loud amp? I suppose that with just 1 preamp and 1 power tube it should be a lot quiter, compared to 15W competitors. And if it is quite for 15W amp, it is my next purchase most probably :) (searching for a solid bedroom amp)
Thanks for sharing this great demo! Question for you: can the Line Out and Power Amp In be used as an Effects Loop? If so, it be great to see a demo of that as well, thank you!
Nice video Budda. I have been curious about these amps for a while. Did you say that your other Supros that you gig with are a Tremoverb and a Thunderbolt? Are these vintage amps? I cannot find much info on them, unless I misheard or they are called something different these days. Have you done a video on the Supro amp setup for live gigs before?
You’re right about the amps names and they are not vintage. I’ve done videos on the amps individually and I have a series about how I recorded the album and how I use it live. I also have episodes on each one . Just search Budda Guedes Supro on TH-cam and you’ll find it
I own this amp and I don't like it. The speaker starts to flub out when I'm playing clean and hit any note on the low E-String. I can turn the bass knob almost all the way down and it still flubs out. Any decent Fender amp is a much better choice for playing on clean settings than a Supro Delta 12.
Hey Budda - I know you’ve made videos on your Pro Jr. Can you tell me how it stacks up against the Supro? I need a small giggable amp but I’m just not quite happy with the Pro Jr….
@@BuddaGuedes thanks for the reply. I added a $40 Joyo American Sound to my pedal board and I am now in love with my little Pro Jr. I’m happy gigging with it so I can leave my Deluxe and Super Reverbs at home for small venues. Game changer - it gives me Blackface tones without losing the tweed grit of the Pro Jr
Que grande review budda, como sempre. Ando a pensar neste amp para um wet dry mas queria basicamente usa-lo com um preamp Kingsley Squire D (dumble preamp) sendo que as válvulas de power são 6L6. Já alguma vez experimentaste com um preamp a válvulas directamente no Power Amp In? Ou algo do género? O master fica automaticamente desativado como o Hot Rod Deluxe? A eq e o volume imagino que sim. Abraço e continua em grande :)
@@BuddaGuedes vou ter que ir a alguma loja experimentar mas vivendo no porto está difícil de encontrar uma que tenha, a ludimusic teve em tempos. Obrigado :)
Great review, you got me hooked. Is it boxy sounding like the Blues Junior? Never really liked a stock blues junior, and I’m worried it will be the same with this one.
O drive é bastante diferente do Blues King. No Blues King parecia um fuzz. The drive is different from the Blues King. In the Blues King it sound like a fuzz.
I don't think you need a Matchless. This amp gives you 90% of that and it's 1500 or so cheaper. I'm liking these mainstream companies like Fender and Supro getting so close in tone to Boutique businesses. They are overpriced and the after service in my experience is not as good.

Love all of your reviews. Im in dilemma between this and fender pro junior. Could u do a comparison between these 2 , it will be so helpful. Thankss
Great idea, I would go with supro
Well i have a pro jr. and this video is making me think about getting a delta king 12 😄
I also have a pro junior. I love supro amps
new sub. love this amp I will have one soon
Thanks
I need to purchase one!
It’s a great amp
Great playing like always…which do you prefer for home use as a pedal plataform , harley benton tube15 mod celestion g12m65 creamback or this?
This is another league!!! The tube 15 is interesting because it can play at 1 watt. This is a pro amp with that vintage supro sound
The reverb really acts as your replacement for treble on this amp, it seems. Sounds amazing.
What do you mean?!
Is boost also adding more highs?
@@BuddaGuedes Sorry, I phrased this badly. I meant that the reverb brings out some treble that is missing from the EQ.
Ok! Maybe. Reverb always means one more tube in the circuit so it always changes the tone

Million dollar question… blues junior, vox ac15 or this supro? Thanks!
Ps:Mais um sub aqui! Grande canal👌🇵🇹
Hard to say. But the ac15 has tremolo.
I have the three but I have a special place in my heart for supro . I really love the ways they sound and feel
Wonder how does it compares to the Black Magick?
My black Magick is on its way so I’ll do a comparison
Chance of you turning in the lights??!
What lights?!?
@@BuddaGuedes Exactly!!! Everything is dark!!!
Ah ok!! I like it like that
Great review, you got me hooked. Is it boxy sounding like the Blues Junior? Never really liked a stock blues junior, and I’m worried it will be the same with this one.
It’s a small amp so it doesn’t have a big bass response. But I would use it as my main amp for sure
Is it too loud for apartment use? Im thinking about 10 or 12 because it has master volume...
It can. Work for apartment use
@@BuddaGuedes thanks!
You’re welcome
Is It comparable to a Tweed Deluxe kind of?
No it isn’t. It’s way more like a blues junior but warmer and not shrill at all
What guitar is that?
It’s a Knaggs Choptank
O drive é bastante diferente do Blues King. No Blues King parecia um fuzz.
The drive is different from the Blues King. In the Blues King it sound like a fuzz.

Please do the comparision with de Blues Jr, im looking for a 15w tube amp and those are my main choises, but not decided yet wich one. Thanks!
I’ll definitely do it. I’m living this one

I love this supro indeed
Is it loud enough for gigs ? Thanks
It is but it will depend on how loud and clean you’ll want to play
Not all tube.
Ok
I hear allot of mic.
What do you mean?
The distorted lead tone sounds really good. But the clean tone is lifeless and too squishy. Not versatile enough to justify the price.
It’s an amp for you to use the controls in your guitar. If at all it’s a little too dark
All those pedals to make that amp sound good? no thanks. Ridiculous !
