Dig this amp? Let us hook you up! reverb.com/item/40314787-supro-1820r-delta-king-10-5-watt-1x10-guitar-combo-2021-black
Check out the new Delta King 10 from Supro Amps, as demoed by none other than Phillip Blevins from @CarverCommodore. Its Class A power amp provides all of the natural compression and touch-sensitive headroom that have made these vintage “single-ended” combos a bedrock of recorded rock history. Offering 5 watts of power through our custom 10-inch DK10 speaker, the Delta King 10 strikes between at-home recording amp and onstage rig.

This was really helpful, especilly when you showed how you set the knobs on the amp and explained why you turned something up or down.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Knobs - they're important! 😜

It's cool that Sirius Black plays guitar.

LOL - passing this along to him!

damn, that David Spade can sure play guitar!

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Elias, this just made my day. 😂

[@SuchaDoofus]

George Harrison rocking that demo

[@M_C79]

If only they'd included tremolo in this, it'd be my dream amp.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

I hear ya- built in trem is nice- have you checked out the Swindler Effects Red Mountain trem pedal yet??? It’s the best one we’ve come across.

[@andrewgarcia3136]

You can get a boss tremolo for like $50 dude. I'd rather NOT have it in the amp circuit because it's just another thing that can break. Tube trem sounds killer but it's not worth the hassle of building into an amp

[@simply3141592654]

Cool. Clapton from 1968 doing a demo.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Man, these comparisons to people are cracking me up!

[@njcranes]

Would love to see a dB meter so we know how loud it actually is! Great tones tho, I'm down

[@MasonMusicRocks]

A dB meter is a great idea- would you want to see a level in the room with the amp at like a 3 foot distance?

[@njcranes]

@@MasonMusicRocks I'm thinking ambient sound, like a TV volume or my wife's awful singing when she's cleaning and has earbuds in. Just bought one of these Supro 10s, man it's nice. Thanks for your posts and all the work that goes into them!

[@Smoove7192937]

Great video! I have this amp and Love it

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Thank you! It's one of my personal favorites in the shop.

[@merkules2001]

It is beyond loud for all the questions. Halfway on Master would cut through anything. Tele on this sounds like butter. IMHO better than strat or lp.

[@trashcat1031]

Thanks for playing Sex Pistols, they were my gateway into punk rock.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

For sure! We try to cover a variety of genres so our friends can hear the style of music they might actually be playing if they purchase this gear! Cheers

[@kennethchambers9949]

How can you know what the amp sounds like if you're gonna run it through all the stuff to fluff.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

I hear you! This amp makes a great pedal platform though, so we tried to show both its natural sound as well as how it takes pedals. Quite a versatile one, the Delta King!

[@gordoncarter8820]

What's it like for harmonica supro made some class amp's for harp before any harp players tried it out would love to know

[@davewest6316]

Hi mate , I am currently using a Marshall dsl20c and have a hankering for a new amp. I tried a vox ac10 and it felt a bit ‘wafty’ and lacked a bit of bite if that makes sense. These supro amps sound like they have a bit more going for them to my ears but I haven’t heard one in person- have you had a chance to compare them to the vox ac10 at all? Also on another you tube video it showed the delta king connected to another supro amp with the speaker working on both amps - would this work with my current dsl20 too or did I mistake what was happening on that vid? Thanks for any advice ! Cool stach btw 👍

[@davewest6316]

How the f did I miss that bit of the vid where you clearly state you can connect it to another amp 😂

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Lol- that’s funny man. It’s a lot of info coming at you so all good! I haven’t directly a/b’ed with the vox but this amp does have a good growl to it.

[@versnellingspookie]

6:49 did i hear you just play 'Marigold' by Dave Grohl?

[@TheMissingFrets]

Good review! Thanks

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Hey thanks! It’s a killer amp, fun to play and review!

[@45zapatero]

Is this usable in an appartement (since low wattage and master volume )?

[@t.sewell1513]

I believe it would make a great apartment amp. Crank the volume and or master and roll back the guitar volume and you can still get a great tone at lower volume.

[@Prossdog]

Just played one at Guitar Center today. It sounded EXCELLENT at low volume. Still very clear and responsive.

[@guitarbluz62]

I own this amp, and that's a definite "yes". Great for small gigs, too.

[@SergeiVlassov]

sounded rather muddy with first guitar, but great with tele

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Interesting- that’s a p90 in the neck of that Reverend. Not a super muddy pickup, but definitely not as bright as a tele. What are you playing right now?

[@SergeiVlassov]

@@MasonMusicRocks I have several amps and guitars. It is a subjective preference, but I love the clean tone of single coils (strats, teles), and the overdriven tone of humbuckers. My main amp at home now is hand-made single-ended class A tube amp, but for a few months, I look towards this Supro. I really love how it looks, and the grid of its overdrive, as well as its conception overall. I wish I had one in local stores to try. I am a bit worried if clean tones are "open" enough. In many demos cleans are on the muddy side.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

@@SergeiVlassov yeah I hear you- I know it’s weird to buy something without trying it in person. For what it’s worth, I found the eq knobs on supros are really musical and make a big difference. Some amps it seems like eq is just there for decoration. Not so with supro.

[@SergeiVlassov]

@@MasonMusicRocks P.S. about P90s - I love them too, but for smoother jazzy cleans. I had one guitar with P90s for some time, and enjoyed playing jazzy licks with it.

[@SergeiVlassov]

@Earendil's Star maybe! Dull is also a good term here. I use muddy when I hear too much of a low mid frequency - tone, that will not sit well in the mix - will take much spacem, but will lack clarity.

[@nicksandy]

Marigold????? Sick choice.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Why thank you. Also, coincidentally “sick” is Phillip’s favorite word. Y’all should be friends.

[@nicksandy]

@@MasonMusicRocks did we just become best friends????

which in turn could be a cutting from 'The Day I Tried to Live' by Soundgraden, that part of 'One more time around, ...' but starting on the third beat. Namely... Interesting amp, I heard it live a week ago with a '68 Tele with a humbucker in the bridge, don't know which

Hi would be great for contry, jazz maybe surf?

[@atommoor]

where the fuck is the reverb tho

[@Where_Have_All_My_Files_Gone]

The amp is nothing special. Just a cheap amp that looks interesting. I have recorded it against a Vox Pathfinder 15R and it sounds exactly the same except the P15R has nicer lows. The amp sounds nothing like the original Supros. It is voiced like fender amps.

Play don't talk! ;)
