Props to Supro for not flooding social media with each new product. They’re making some great sounding amps these days and imho it’s never a bad thing to try to hand build some products in your home country for people that value that and are willing to pay to support it. Small market yes, but an important one imho. It’s what I rely on too!

[@suzannecoholic1467]

It seems to really like working with the Strat! Supro is a terrific company and builds equipment that lasts. The Supro I had a long time ago was a workhorse. Thanks Phil!

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

The amp sounds better with more high end in the input. It seems to be a pretty mellow sounding amp.

[@coffeerocker1429]

This was great to watch Phil and to feel it wasnt saturated on the internet. Love it.

[@coreycann6751]

Nice!!! I’m so pumped for these!!!

[@papasteve7376]

As always, thanks for the review Phil

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I love the classic sounds out of this amp. I think it would pair very well with a SG. The deep reverb tone is killer.

[@loubadabin420]

Thank you Phil for showing us such a wonderfully sounding amp.....

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I have the Delta King 12 with the 1x12 combo. Just an amazing unit. It's only 15-watt but you would not believe how loud it can get. And it is working it's ass off at higher volumes, which is exactly what you want. This thing sounds amazing too.

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

Yeah mate, lve got the BK12 (15w) sounds great, but runs hot & being PCB not point to point not sure how long its made to last...lve whacked a small fan in the back to move a bit of air. So far so good!

[@heyitsandrewcraft]

Love seeing some USA goodness. Thx, Phil, for the run through!

[@_patrikjay_]

Great reaction, breakdown and demo vid P.M. the clean tone on this amp is beautiful, well done Supro

[@Bluegeek1]

I am an avid lover of Supro amplifiers. I was in the midst of learning amp repair and, of course, quickly bumped into Supro amps several yrs ago. Supro did not make amps in the 50's, they were made in Chicago by Valco. The same amps were sold under several brand names

[@two50ne77]

love the badlands button down

[@elenbrandt290]

Sounds gorgeous. Thank you for a great review !

[@bernielalonde1898]

WOW! I own a delta king 12 which has the same control layout. The master/volume controls work amazingly on it & I am glad to see they carried into an american made high end model.

[@garycrouse1918]

Loved the video as always liked the supro reverb quality.

[@RichardSheehan]

A wonderful-looking and sounding amp. I'm a Supro user (Delta King), so always great to see and hear their new stuff.

[@cooperlangford1833]

It’s nice to see a halo product from Supro. Phil’s spot on saying it’s a good an idea to design and build a premium product, then figure out to capture that spirit and flavour at different price points. I’m not a huge Supro fan personally, but I respect and appreciate what they do. I’m looking forward to see where they go from here.

[@njcranes]

I've always loved the Supro sound!

[@marclandry4525]

Great sounding amp! Thanks, I want one now!

[@steveoneal5257]

it brings out the great sounds of the strat

[@Little960]

It looks like the old Gretsch ''Playboy'' and ''Electromatic Twin'' amps that were made by Valco. Super nice.

[@tonybowen455]

That with that strat, best tone I've heard on here since the first badlands guitar!

[@rowbags3017]

Fantastic sound and looks! The driven tone is superb. 😎

[@DaVinci0963]

Thanks Phil !

[@stevephilbrick1237]

Great tones...really great.

[@christophervincent8420]

That is a gorgeous amp and sounds just as good.

[@CorkElectric40]

YES... Yes YES yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes...........thank you..... .... you have yet to fail me on gathering knowledge. ....been watching for years.... ....i learn something new EVERY time..... ...every time. Thank you. I have a Delta 10.......love it. ...yes.

[@NorthernBandit1]

Very cool sounds indeed!

[@BrianSGuitars]

Looks and sounds glorious!

[@uniknot]

Really Cool!

[@simondixon6761]

Sounds sweet dude!

[@Tony_Leonardi.]

Sounds fantastic

[@SaltyDraws]

Thank you for your honest review.

[@sixslinger9951]

Amazing sounding amp. no corners cut is GREAT THING!

[@Alexholbert]

Just wanted to say I can tell you have really improved your channel across the board everything is more professional and to the point. Congratulations! and keep up the good work!

[@s9plus20]

Thats a good looking amp!! It sounds great too!!! Your Kiesel guitar looks killer too!!

[@geneevans7885]

Nice classic sound on all levels.

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Sounds pretty dam great!! 👍🏽

[@MashaT22]

I bet Mrs. McKnight would be very happy having one of those in your living room! It’s beautiful and really can be played at levels that aren’t gonna be disruptive without compromising on the tone quality. Just a stunning amp in every possible way! (Anyone wanna sponsor me?! 😇🙏🏻 . . . 😬 . . . 🥶🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . )

[@tymanngruter1808]

Sounds amazing good! Goes very loud to!

[@coryburns13]

That’s a dope sounding amp. And I also dig that there wasn’t a huge to do about it on every freakin channel. I like that.

[@landonbailey]

very nice!

[@Alexholbert]

Jesus that SUPRO Sounds incredible!

[@hadleymanmusic]

Neat Phillip!!!

[@j_freed]

Cool!

[@claudiajay8291]

I like the greenback in the Supro. Would be nice to know how it sounds with pedals. Love that red guitar behind you too!

[@Newnodrogbob]

Man; that looks and sounds very cool. I’m not in the market for a $3.5k amp, but if I was…

[@JoshuaC923]

Good to see the 335 getting it's day in the limelight👍🏻 cool amp

[@jacobnewell7845]

There's a supro at a local music store. Has the best clean tone I've heard to date

[@TonePriest]

A 25 watt, "class A" cathode biased tube amp being driven by a pair of 6V6's? I'd really like to know how they're doing that, it seems to defy the laws of physics. Regardless, it's a beautiful looking and sounding amp. We need to see what's under the hood. It's good to see they're bringing back the mojo that the Supro brand deserves.

[@vanguard9067]

I always wonder that too, with two power tubed. Maybe it’s Class A single-ended up to 5-6 watts and then some magical switchery to AB?

[@tiki_trash]

It's nice they're keeping the Valco aesthetic. It looks like a Gretsch amp in brown and a National in black.

[@BazonBlades]

It's totally not my thing as I absolutely need high gain to cover up my lack of talent. But that is a beautiful amplifier. And it sounds as good as it looks. I hope these do well for Supro and the players who buy them.

[@RICO_SUAVE21]

Man I really dig this amp! It just has that sound. Perfect for me… I’m gonna keep a look out for this and hope the price drops 😊

[@ivan_emege]

Glad to see David Koltai again. I have a 2014 Thunderbolt that is wonderful

[@KeenEyeFPV]

Would love to hear this amp played along side some of the other Supros like the Amulet or Royale. Great video as always!

[@sooparticular]

exactly....i feel it will not sound or feel 2k more

[@TheBlackStrat502]

Great Demo!! I hope this comes to Helix in a future update.

[@KeithTasker]

Thank you for the excellent video and review! I hope you might get to show us the Ambassador as well??

[@angusmorrison1557]

Thanks for the db meter!!!!!!

[@charleshuguley9323]

Yes; it's really helpful to get an idea of what the levels are at various settings.

[@brenthorrocks]

love that sunburst strat though...

[@cmbr.]

Supro nailed it. Nice amp

[@seanmccann2513]

Thanks for the first look at the amp. It feels like Supro is trying to give the guitar community a good look at the amp, not just push it in front of everyone to sell a bunch.

[@guitartim2128]

I do love a good 1 x 12 tube combo but like the 2x10s even more for the extra punch and articulation; even if it wouldn't move as much acoustic air . Great video,informative👍🎸

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

I agree.. the 2 x 10s will have those punchy upper mids, plus the 6v6 bite...be gd to hear one.

[@medley4570]

I believe 2 10s will move the same amount of air as a single 15" if you calculate the surface area of the cones.

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

@@medley4570 l dunno mate, maybe they do (lve only ever had a go on a Peavey Classic with a 15in spkr)..at a shop, not in anger. I did lend a mates 4 X 10 Marshall when we were gigging (a long time ago!) & liked it better than the 4 x 12.... that are useless now with db meters everywhere.. but 10s cut through a mix well & depending on the cab.. there's still gd bass response.

[@jeromestevenfaigin6059]

Outstanding Amp! Too bad I'm stuck here at home so the only way to keep the pain is by keeping busy. I've played for 50 years and I still record as a string musician, a teacher and now a electric guitar builder. When I finish my guitars I'll write again to share pictures and keep going to each one I multi-task to get her done, I think?

[@DamianS1893]

Cool 😎

[@xBlitzerx]

I know this is unrelated to the video but does anyone know of replacment keys/tips for Grover mini tuners? A link would be great, thanks!

[@gtr1952]

I didn't know this was coming. I went back and watched it from the beginning, it sounds great! 20/25 W seems to be the sweet spot. Good for playing out and home. I wonder if they will offer a head? Maybe a few $$ less? I've been looking at several in this price range. Great review!! --gary

[@zaz4667]

Sounds nice! Pretty high price!

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

So cool.. wish I had that kind of money for a killer little amp like that! 😎🎸🤘

[@tommyandersson224]

What a beutiful amp.

[@waxman9550]

Sweet is the heritage 59 video ever coming out?

[@googo151]

WISHED THEY'D MAKE IT IN A DARK GREEN. THAT MY FRIEND WOULD BE COOL AS ....!

[@snapfinger1]

Supro & Danelectro owe their modern day relevance largely to Jimmy Page.

[@DMSProduktions]

NICE amp! A bit of Vox, a bit of Fender, and a GOOD dose of Marshall! GR8 reverb! \m/

[@gregmize01]

i'd love to see that circuit in a head format

[@charleshuguley9323]

Yes; a lot of the expense must go into the cabinet, so it would probably be possible to sell a head only version for significantly less. That said, a lot of the amp's appeal is in the cabinet.

[@devoidcypher8726]

Cabinet kinka reminds me of an old Gretsch amp I used to have.

[@lonewolffgrey8983]

sweet...

[@FunkyELF]

That is a damn good looking amp. I'd like to get into tube amps, but I got into guitar maybe 4 or 5 years ago with a Fender LT25, then a Katana, then a Pod Go. I mostly play my Pod Go through Ableton into my PA because I like doing live looping w/ my MIDI keyboard, drums, etc. I love the idea of tube amps same as I love the idea of mechanical watches, but I feel if I got one it'd have to have so many modern features or I'd end up having to buy some load box to be able to play it silently into my interface so I can use it with Ableton.

[@juliankirby9880]

You can get a 1w or 1/2 w tube amp head and run it into a load box I believe Phil has a video about a boutique one. And sone affordable ones from China exist.

[@robertnilsson8213]

Thank you for a great video Phil. An american 60's strat if i'm not mistaken. Loved how it interacted with the Supro amp. Might sell a few of my other Fender strats to get Tthat one. Is it a 62-63-ish strat by any chance? Looks and sounds amazing. The Supro amp too. I'm a swedish musicproducer who plays electric guitar and on a fretless P-bass i've built. Greetings from Stockholm ~Rob

[@josephpickard3108]

I had a 1624T from when Absara brought the brand back and it was amazing. Wouldn't say it was very reliable though as when I sold it, it turns out the power tube sockets had crapped out

[@johngregory7329]

Hello Philip, Hope your doing well. I am a Bass player and I have to say that I am very impressed with this amp. Supro I think you hit a grand slam with this amp. Sounds unbelievable & she does look magnificent. Great 👍👍 demo Philip. Stay safe and well and keep Rocking.

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

Nice amp!! Its got that toothy 6v6 drive...likes single coils and buckers... Hate to see the price once they get to Australia tho... The BK12 was $1k here (& thats pcb & runs hot!).

[@user-lf3kr1nq2d]

I've got a newbie question that is a bit off-topic. I'm new to guitar, and today purchased headphones to use with my amp because I have to be VERY quiet here. Someone in the apartment needs to sleep during the day, while someone downstairs seems to need to sleep during the evening. I expected that plugging in headphones would divert sound to the headphones, but there is significant volume still coming from the amp. Is that normal? Any tips about what I can do? I find it harder to learn when I have to keep the s volume down to a mouse whisper.

[@carlc2597]

Not remembering the Strat? What does that mean?

[@surfrduede]

I liked it a lot, but there’s a lot of quality competition at that pricepoint.

[@314jrock]

1:37 It would look like something that belongs in your grandparent's house. Looks like furniture from the 1960's or 1970's.

[@jeffsquires6620]

I really like this amp. Awesome.

[@ariella4063]

How does this compare to the MESA Mk 7 ????

[@bassyey]

Doesn't even have an effects loop for that price?

[@anthonyalfredyorke1621]

Great video Phil, it sounds great & has that classic Americana vibe, you might just be able to keep it in the lounge. Thanks again & remember K.Y.G. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

[@stoneysdead689]

Wow- I'll never own one but- wow!

[@Andrew-wb2zq]

so you don't have to crank this for breakup? I thought that was the thing with all tube amps?

[@ffbai]

A LOT of better options at that price point!!! Cool looking but I'll stick with Swart.

[@markmcdonald5711]

Love my Atomic Jr., glad I bought it 2 years ago when it was 1250.00 instead of what they cost now.

[@sooparticular]

i agree....whats your list???? i owned many 3k amps

[@ffbai]

CARR Super Bee, Magnatone Varsity Reverb and a Two Rock Bloomfield Drive combo@@sooparticular

[@sooparticular]

i owned the bee incredible amp!!!@@ffbai

[@JackTheSkunk]

Kinda has an old Gretsch vibe to it....visually anyway. It's not my kind of amp because I don't use overdrive. The most exciting tube amp of the last 20 years to me was the short lived 1X15 Gretsch Executive built by Victoria. Their prices have gone way up since Gretsch stopped selling them. Younger players will probably love what the Supro offers for their style of playing.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

I see a mirror image model that can sit next to this so it all looks symetrical and it could be used in stereo..imagine that, a twin set , left and right version with 1x10" Celestion alnico in both! Phil..I mean Mr NcKnight how can I get one without the dough? BtW, the Fender sounded really good, pick and pluck those strings no plectrum some-times so we can hear it plucked and strummed. Cool, get the 2x10" , we need to hear it.

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Would love to see Rivera do something smart like this and reach out to KZbinrs. I have a Clubster Rouyal Recording that I loaded with some old RCA blackplpates....Pure magic on clean and drive! Nuts. Never even heard of Rivera until stumbling into my amp. Same with SUpro recently, kinda coming back out of nowhere and they sound good! Look really cool too

[@reijerlincoln]

Very Midcentury Modern.

[@DeltaJazzUK]

Can you get the Dukes of Hazard on it?

[@thejoshbtv]

That's a sexy amp. And its priced like it. Luckily though even the "base" Supros with the blue rhino are some of the best looking amps out there. And they sound wicked.

[@sooparticular]

not bad ....ive owned a dozen high end amps I know this is only you tube but it sounds like a 2k amp at most...im not blown away.....but i will definitely play this in person!!:)

[@HEZ63]

A clean AC-30 or 1959 convinces me more, but also a 5F1, 5F2 or even a Tubemeister. Plus, they all have the options to sound much hotter too. Obviosuly only something for hardcore Supro fans, not seriously something for me.
