Supro Delta King 12 - A tube tone lovers tool box!

Delta King 12 at Sweetwater: imp.i114863.ne...
Supros new Delta King 12 is a 15 watt tube amp with a long list of features I'm honestly smitten with, watch the whole dang video so you don't miss any of it. One of my favorite parts is when I hit it with a Telecaster at 17:56

"I get sick of my riffs too." Your humorous humility is one reason we watch your videos, Ryan. Good review of the amp.

[@auntjenifer7774]

Dude this amp is loud ! I'm used to using 2 half stacks Peavey 5150 heads and 412 cabinets and I brought this little amp into the practice room and used just the amp and built in speaker up all the way and it was so so loud ! I couldn't believe how loud it was !!!! No shit !

[@tonya4157]

Finally! Someone who isn't afraid to play the damn thing! Thank you!

[@Florida_Boi_333]

I just picked one of these up brand new for 450 (!!!) and it was because of this demo 👍🏼

[@zachgeorge127]

It’s basically a Supro Blues Junior and I love every minute of it

[@auntjenifer7774]

It's way way better than blues Jr. Trust me, I've got both and the Supro Blues king 12 is the King !

[@joellebrodeur1015]

@@auntjenifer7774 I had one of the first versions of the Blues Junior when they came out (USA build). I am likely one of the few people who absolutely hated that amp. The Supro blows it away. But for lush, warm clean tones, my Ampeg Reverberocket blows them both away. I want to run the Supro through the Ampeg.

[@auntjenifer7774]

@@santafemikez9694 it's an all tube amp with a pigtronix over drive pedal circuit for the body and boost function and it's all analog spring reverb that just drops like water and have you tried plugging it into a bigger cabinet !?😄 I hooked mind up to a vintage Marshall 410 Celestion loaded 4 -10 inch speakers was amazing, almost like a tweed Bassman but maybe better because reverb and high gain Distortion that's the Supro Blues king 12 has its freaking awesome !

[@bigwomp932]

How do you like the 10?

[@bobby_grout]

I love that dangelico. It's a beauty. That amp sounds like a great option in the very full 15ish watt market. Having a master volume is definitely a huge plus for me.

[@mrNobody100]

that dime'd reverb makes me think of Super Mario World SNES, and the echo whenever you are in an underground or cave portion of a level

[@ToneSherpa]

Man, I just love the look of this thing. Not even mentioning the killer sound. Wish I could afford one.

[@LoganFillmore]

You can get more clean tones by cranking the master and using the gain as a volume. I also upgraded tubes and put an Eminence Swamp Thang in it. Now it has more headroom and more controllable tube overdrive.

[@markferguson3745]

Did you stay with the EST? It's a great speaker, but maybe a little too much with the power rating for 15 watts? This IS a unusually fat and full EQ, so I understand the logic , but most of the 15's I've tried it with barely move any air.This might be the exception? I've achieved success with the Cannabis Rex, Celestion V, and Weber Alnico ; 2- 10's are also solid with the 15 watt power rating .These days, I generally avoid combos, but was considering this one.

[@julioguerrero8849]

I have a question regarding this amp... doesn't it technically have an FX loop? It has a preamp out (line out,) and a power amp input...? How come everyone says it doesn't have an FX loop? The Supro manual even mentions the line out is buffered.

[@ChrisAyala78]

It has indeed, but if you use the drive switch it'll affect the loop as well.

[@justinswartz7994]

Thanks for the great demo. I own the blues king 12 and love it. Such a unique amp with many tone options. Honestly would love to get one of these for vintage tweed look. Also have to agree these amps just sound amazing with a tele.

[@joellebrodeur1015]

Rickenbackers sound bloody awesome through these, too. With that said having cosmetic changes and losing the effects loop for $50 more isn't worth the trade off. I'd rather have the effects loop.

[@skypekai]

How does it take dirt pedals?

[@regularnimnule9715]

Dang, these are great sounding amps. Great demo Ryan.

[@RealMrBoy]

At 12:00 I was 100% sold on the DK12 over the 10. The fact that it can sound like that at almost no master vol. it crazy to me. Its that Class A class amp.

[@alihazeldene48]

Oh great, another amp I need to get, at least it's small!

[@Richard_Lush]

Mine is on the way. I love an amp where pedals are optional but I get tube distortion. This looks like it. I plan on using my tone bender and maybe my Boss Blues Driver but that’s about it pedal wise. The plus to me is getting the break up at low volumes but not using my modeling amp. I’ve got a Fender Blues Jr too but wanted built in OD. Thanks for the great demo.

[@bciecko1]

"... For when you hate being in the mix..." 🤣

[@joseislanio8910]

The perfect amp for introverts

[@FerSpada]

@@joseislanio8910 ahaahahahhahahha

[@markferguson3745]

IDK, I'm hearing a similar EQ to a Bassman or JTM 45. I suspect that what it's being fed is going to push it more into an instantly effective mixable range, not unlike a lot of popular guitar amps; does it have a lot of low end that is ultimately not going to be heard, and is consuming available power? No doubt, but that is also affecting the gain characteristics and dynamic sensitivity. Particularly with a higher rated speaker, the cleans could be extended into a higher volume range. I've had great experiences using the Hudson Broadcast in EQing a broad range of tube amps.The bass cut knob is great for switching between standard and baritone guitars( even if that " standard" is most often down tuned .) It's a nice alternative to just conceding that the Princeton is the best amp design, period.

[@jamesmarcin4787]

Great Demo. Love my Supro BK12, such a fun and versatile amp and these new Delta Blues amps look and sound fantastic 😃👍

[@AndrewLewisHowe]

I really like this bad boy. Love how they made the boost footswitchable. It does seem like the gain (also foot switchable) also gives a volume boost though, so I just wished they'd added a 2nd pre-volume for the gain setting, so your clean and gain channels could be an unity.

[@markferguson3745]

Sounds much better with single coils, - but I usually think that.Treat it like a Marshall? Impressive with the low end, - not bad at all. The 250 with a Strat,- gold.

[@ErosGalaxia]

i feel if you throw in a greenback, it would get closer to marshall territory

[@davidshepard3708]

Great amp! Honestly, I bought the Blues King 12 - which seemed like a sensation WAY back in 2019 - the day they were discontinued, through Sweetwater in what was an amazing deal ($299) at Christmas. LOVE it. Still a little ticked off that the footswitch became impossible to find on that day (they are, literally, impossible to find), but the Boss FS-6 works fine. My theory is that the BK12 did a lot of what the pricier Supros do for a third of the price, so Supro cut the out in favor of even smaller amps, but brought this version back. Really dig the color. Unknown, though, why Supro would offer the same amp, minus the loop. Perhaps it's meant to hold that spot in the lineup but relieve some marketing pressure on the top line amps.

[@dannobilly]

I just got the Blues King 8 for next to nothing at my local mom and pop shop last week. I play a Gretsch Streamliner Hollowbody thru it with the Keeley Memphis Sun Pedal. I love these small Supro amps.

[@davidshepard3708]

@@dannobilly They are remarkable. Mine's just a tone monster. All those really creamy, edge of breakup-to-compressed tube sounds are just right there. Like you, I keep the boost switch on mostly, and push the rest with pedals.

[@joellebrodeur1015]

I managed to score the matching pedal for this amp in January on eBay. If you're patient, you'll score one. I bought the BK12 in August at full price😬. I didn't have a clue that it was getting rebadged, otherwise I would have waited until clearance sales. Anyway, it's got the most reactive EQ I've ever used. Plus, the pick sensitivity is remarkably awesome. That stood out the most to me. When you dime this in just right and sit 5 feet directly in front of the amp, you get hit with gorgeous clean tone. The downside is this amp has a directional speaker. If you're not at the right spot, you don't hear the highs as well. The reverb is very different from others I've heard. Got a long tail to it and that's not bad. It's a fun amp. A bit crunchy and fuzzy on the gain which I normally don't care for in most amps/effects, but since it gets into Zeppelin I territory, that's just fine with me.

[@richnewman]

According to the Supro website, the Blues King 12 is still available and features a 12AX7 tube preamp into 12AU7 triode power amp, while the Delta King 12 has a 12AX7 tube preamp into a 6L6 tube power amp. So there is a difference between the two, but not much.

[@creamroller]

Thank you for your thorough demo! You just pushed me to buy this amp lol!

[@Musecrafter]

I love mine! It has an excellent edge of breakup sound. I'm glad I watched this video because I never bothered with the input on the back. I'll have to run my Iridium through it to see how it sounds.

The Supro is good for what it does but it makes more sense to me to get one of those monoprice stage right tube 15 things for half the price. It's way more versatile

[@zombiemontage]

1 watt or 15 watt power mode, real spring reverb with foot switch, FX loop, external speaker jack. Takes pedals incredibly well. Apparently the newer ones have an updated Celestion speaker and come with JJ tubes. What more could you ask for?

[@tjnugent62]

This is a really good amp. You can do so much with this one. I want one and if you play at church or do a bigger rock gig, withoutt a hitdh. Havung the circuit that allows multi-effects to bypass the tone circuit. The amp is powerful enough to do a club date, but the bigger you do the more you need PA support. This amp reminds me of the AC15C1. This amp has lots of upgrades like Master Volume, Tube Reverb. There is also a distortion circuit from Moog the pedal builter. Supro now makes innovative and feature packed tube amp.

Bit of a Blues Jr upgrade, it seems. Very, very interesting.

[@samwisegrangee]

Played one this afternoon next to a Deluxe Reverb, and I was really impressed with it. The presence was outstanding and the tone was sculpted really well, and the reverb was surprisingly musical.The distorted switch seemed a little gimmicky to me, but that’s not my style anyway. Given the choice between a Blues Jr and this-low watt tube amp with reverb and the ability to get gritty-I think I’d probably take this. That being said, my standard is a Pro Jr with a Flint: I wonder how it would compare side by side.

[@emmettyoung7603]

I got the precursor to the delta king just as they transitioned over to the new model, the gain switch is surprisingly usable. it gets pretty close to a bluesbreaker when cranked. its super gigabel as well. its probably the best amp I've ever bought

[@sneakerhead6184]

I just recently purchased this amp and I love it. Would you recommend always leaving the standby switch on?

[@ThatWhatIsNot]

[@defaultmodeexitg3285]

I bought the Delta King 10 from Guitar Center and love the tone, touch and punch from only a 5 watt amp. However 6 months into owning it the reverb pot seems to be crapping out and now is not working at all (No Reverb). I don't want to open the reverb box because I'm afraid it will void the warranty. I also think it could be the 6V6 crapping out prematurely but it's hard to say because I'm afraid to replace the tube because it might void the warranty. SUPRO so far has not returned my emails or phone calls which is disappointing to say the least. So great sounding amps and very cool looks but to be determined on their customer service.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Keep us posted. I’d guess it’s a tube. Reverb pans are cheap and easy to replace. I doubt that’s the issue though.

[@defaultmodeexitg3285]

Update. Supro sent me a new reverb tank and cables and after that didn't solve the issue on a hunch I loosened the flat hex nut on top of the reverb pot and the reverb was back in full. However If the nut is tightened (by hand) or if downward pressure is put on the pot knob the reverb will cut out again. Supro is going to replace the bad pot under warranty.

[@evilizac]

@@defaultmodeexitg3285 How are you liking the amp at this point? Can't find as much in depth reviews online as the 12 because I'm guessing at that wattage, it's looked as more of a bedroom or recording amp.
