Nice sound Captain!!! You really brought it with your vibrato. I think I'm going to buy it.

[@IGrocker]

Cap, between your massive improvements the past few years and also listening to Pete, you’ve both inspired me to continue playing for lengths of time I haven’t done since high school. It’s been an inspiration you watch you guys!

[@legacyShredder1]

One thing that will take any guitar player's ability to the next level is focusing in on basic rhythmic subdivisions. From your basic quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes to triplets in quarter, eighth, sixteenth, and so on. Check out some snare drum rudiments here on KZbin and apply the note values to your playing. You can sound like a pro over night.

[@kewlfonz]

@@legacyShredder1 Don't forget the polyrhythms especially over slow 12/8 blues...

[@funhousebaby3104]

@@kewlfonz Yes bro! Polyrhythms like Radiohead??????? If you match the timing and (important) amount of strokes you use while masturbating over 'Chappers and Cappers' your audience will automatically gush with musical envy fluid. Usually this happens after two bars of 5/3.

I have the Delta King 10 in special addition white. Love the amp. Makes a good practice amp in the bedroom.

[@USMarine75]

I love seeing Lee play my rig. My living room setup has been your orange Andertons LE Squier through a Supro Delta King 12. Pro tip: You can use the preamp out through a power amp and cab. And when you adjust the MV it controls how much the Delta King is in the mix with the other amp/cab. I use it with a Fryette PS2 and Fender Showman 115 can and together it's glorious!

[@fredaxmear1121]

[@tomwhittaker9461]

Cool dude! Yes, these seem to be pretty sweet amps. Do you think the 10 can be tamed enough for living room playing, while still sounding good?

[@chadb8093]

@@tomwhittaker9461 these things sound great at living room levels - definitely depends on the type of pickups you’re running through it but it takes the humbuckers in my les Paul especially well through the clean channel. Single coil pickups can sound a bit boxy so I tend to stick with the les Paul when I play through it. The in-built reverb does wonders for adding dimension at any rate

Play with someone like Pete, you’ll improve loads. I think that’s part of what happened with the Cap.

[@craigbragg2842]

I just bought a Supro Blues King 12 this past weekend. It is, for all intents and purposes, the Delta King without the racing stripes. I absolutely love it. Such great tones and versatility. In fact, it was The Captain and Danish Pete's 2019 review of small valve amps that convinced me to get it! Thanks, gentlemen!

[@jamesmarcin4787]

I had my Supro BK12 for over a year now. Fantastic amp and gets better as the speaker gets more broken in. Enjoy 😁👍

[@auntjenifer7774]

Yeah and has any one else noticed how loud that thing is !? Mines freaking loud for 15 watts and 12 inch speaker is loud enough to use in a full band!!!!

[@craigbragg2842]

@Howardsend88, well the main deciding factor was I got an extremely good buy on it. But I had been looking at the Blues King for a while. I have another Supro amp and have enjoyed it a lot, so I thought I’d give the Blues King a go. I’m glad I did. I like its unique tone. But it’s not so unique as to limit its versatility in multiple settings. It takes pedals nicely as well. I definitely recommend it.

[@jamesmarcin4787]

@@craigbragg2842 , that's why I bought it as well. Sweetwater had it for a price of $299 during their Black Friday Sale right before they went discontinued. I just had to get it. Its fantastic 👍

@@jamesmarcin4787, I missed out on that sale, but picked up a mint used one for less than that. So I’m not complaining.

[@sac4003]

I put a Celestion Creamback in my 12 and it sounds awesome. Gave me a bit more clean headroom with more girth to the tone. Love this amp with my Strat and 335 for smaller gigs.

[@JaredSchumaier]

Which model Celestion helped add some more headroom?

[@sac4003]

@@JaredSchumaier Alnico Creamback is what I used.

[@JaredSchumaier]

@@sac4003 I’m going to try that too. Did you try using a 12au7 instead of the ax7?

[@OneMoreGrave]

A good tip for getting more clean or usable volume a low wattage amp is to put a tube overdrive pedal set clean into the amp with the gain and volume on the amp around 3 or 4. Use the pedal for setting the volume. I run a Hiwatt tube distortion pedal into my little turd Bugera v5 this way with a Wampler Belle od and a Way Huge Saucy Box as my drives. It's 100% more usable. Feels like a bigger amp.

Great tones. I’ve been selling off my modelers and returning to low watt amps... honestly couldn’t be happier.

[@grayaj23]

I paid like $180 US for a Vox AC4TV / ca. 2010 model. Between it an a Laney amp, I haven't touched the Katana in months. I still love it, but it's not where my head is at right now.

[@dracul74]

@@grayaj23 Nice! I owned and sold that amp years ago.... wish I kept it.

[@jamesmarcin4787]

Sounds great. I bought the BK12 which is basically the same amp without the stripes and with an effects loop and its fantastic. Got it from Sweetwater during their Black Friday special this pass year for $299 which was a steal of a deal.😁👍 Love it.

[@dlewtweentorla1210]

Ditto! Also included the Cover and Footswitch. That was to get rid of the old and make room for the Delta KIng. Have to admit the Delta King does look great in the tweed.

[@TruGank]

Love that buzzy retro fuzz sound!

[@mrbigg7255]

The 12 would be perfect at church where the drummer is somewhat isolated. Thinking about getting rid of my drive pedals and running two amps with an a/b/y pedal. My clean will be my hot rod deluxe which is barely on 3 while plugged into input number one. I could see the Supro adding to my tone big time. It’s using a 6L6 is a plus since I have plenty of them in my stash for the hot rod. Great review guys.

[@jemwand2530]

Guys, both jams in this video were amazing. Captain Lee, the intro jam was fnocking great and the outro jam, you must have been channeling Eddie Hazel's Magott Brain... Supero work Captain, my Captain. bless you.

[@garycrouse1918]

great content boys !!!!!

[@auntjenifer7774]

My DKing 12 has so much clean headroom and bass response that I had to put a higher gain 12ax7 in to super it up a little !

[@winterjps]

I gotta say, it's great to see how much Lee's playing has improved, I'm really impressed (y)

[@killelectric]

I think you can probably gig with the 12", but these amps are primarily geared towards home playing or home studio recording. You can get that classic broken up tube amp sound at a neighbour friendly volume. I've got a Supro Comet (10") and its the best sounding recording amp I've ever owned.

[@jeramym9506]

That single cut sounds soooooo good.

[@maglou2585]

[@frankgeick3641]

Love the format of opening solos. Advantage Danish Pete, but Lee is sooo catching up.

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

I must of been in a deep-deep trance to of missed this amazing tone party 2 years ago!!!!

[@ivorharden]

I think the high gain Bugera stuff is the best bang for affordability. For me these Supro amps are in a different category all together. They're more in the boutique sector than mass produced.

[@davidg4726]

I have 2 Bugeras, and they are really great for a low price. So, I can recommend a Bugera amp. I have also had a Fender Blues Junior, and it is more expensive, but great.

[@jeffreymorreale7223]

I've been watching Andertons older vlogs and the Captain has always been pretty amazing and soulful. That's why I can't understand when people say he's really improved. From what I've seen, his touch and rhythm were there from the beginning.

[@davidlee2790]

Exactly. It’s nice to compliment someone’s playing but at some point constantly commenting ‘improvements’ comes across as somewhat patronising 😬. Lee is a great player. End of.

[@spacelab2756]

Lee your guitar playing has really improved since i started watching the channel. Just have to say your work has paid back!!

[@MrAnders1976]

I have played guitar on loud gigs with a second guitarplayer bass and drums. I can concur that 15W EL84 with a single 12" will not give you enough clean headroom for a decent clean tone.. But for a driven rock sound no problem when using a loud celestion speaker. I use a 45W EL34 amp with a single 12.. This gives me a loud clean tone as a base tone.

[@JedrekVRoscoe]

I have the Delta King 12, and it is my favorite amp so far! Really, really good.

[@JaredSchumaier]

Does it take pedals well?

[@JedrekVRoscoe]

@@JaredSchumaier yes, it does. It’s a very clean and clear sound, but with a slight warmth in characteristic-clean enough to be great for all types of pedals, not warm enough to color the sound too much for pedals. It’s not like a super “sterile” sound like a Katana or JHS “Loud is more Good” amps which make those perfect for pedals. TLDR: yes, great for pedals.

[@JaredSchumaier]

@@JedrekVRoscoe glad to hear that! I have one on the way and look forward to running it through the paces. Some folks say they need to change out the speaker or try a different preamp tube. Have you had to do that with yours?

Awesome review and playing, as always! However, you missed the best feature: The Line Out is designed to be run into the front end of another amp!

You can also turn the Master volume down on the Supro if you just want to hear the secondary amp or turn it up and hear both. It's something you must try if you have one of these Supro amps! : ) Rock on!

Hello Scott. I'm new to tube/valve amps and was thinking of getting one of these. I have a question though. What results would you get if you took the DK line out to the FX return of another amp and how would the outcome be different then the method you are suggesting in your comment? Thanks.

[@michaeltravis3562]

I started using the 12 in a wet/dry rig for home recording . I previously used a swart space tone and Morgan pr12 for this purpose, but I prefer the delta king to both of those. The Supro has a wonderful “something” to it that I cannot describe in words. It just feels right under my fingers and puts a grin on my face. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed in the 12. There are “all white” and “all black” versions around if the Adidas stripes offend your eyes.

[@gslide06]

How well does the line output work direct into your DAW - any degradation in tone?

[@michaeltravis3562]

It’s really good straight into my interface. I use Logic Pro (and a few plug ins) to get cab/room tones. I have a dedicated studio so I can play loud and mic the cab, too. I find the output straight into an interface/daw is capturing the best attributes of this amp. That’s to say the sonic character of the speaker/cab is “good” but not so good that you’ll miss it. It’s nothing special. The OD, boost, pre, and power amp section is 90% of this amp’s magic in my opinion. You get all that with direct output.

[@gslide06]

Thanks for the reply Michael, that sounds fantastic.

[@Number1Ears]

[@compucorder64]

I've always loved the sound of these Supro amps. They almost sound like some forgotten Southern Rock coming straight off the vinyl record; like finished recordings. Sounded like that on the affordable tube combo amp roundup ye did a few years back, sounds like long hair, a handlebar moustache and open shirted hairy chest ;) Best living or bedroom amps. But also, best recording amps, with the pre-amp line out, or the low wattage and smaller speakers that don't push buttons of a small room's modes. The line out is nice to have with the cheap IR loader pedals available; or into audio interface then do power amp + cab sim ITB. But, another could be putting it into a pretty clean affordable more powerful power amp (Vox MV50? or SS/Class D). Then into a bigger sounding cab. Then you have a small vibey tube practice and recording amp, that can be converted into something more powerful.
