Dude. Freakin killer intro jam, bud! I love Supro Tones. I don't have a physical amp but they licensed a model through line 6 and I use the model on my PodGo like every day. So good!

[@landonbailey]

oh cool, what is the model called?

I tend to listen to other people playing amps I already own because sometimes they inspire me on how to get new tones or styles that I wasn't able to find yet. A few times it even has resparked my love to amps I otherwise hadn't played in months!

[@Butterfliesandzebras]

Lol so do I... I just want people to realise how good it is

[@davidconboy5822]

Landon, thanks for the video and your humor. I was very close to buying a Delta King 10. Then I tried the Supro Amulet and was very impressed. Ended up buying that. The ability to have 5, 10, or 15 watts is the best of both worlds. Use it for home, and it's great.

[@landonbailey]

Good stuff! The Amulet is great! I have the 10

[@hughschick6847]

​@hughschick6847 I'm missing myself good one friend!!

[@Richard_Lush]

Got one. It’s my go to now. Got a Fender Blues Jr and a modelling Mustang III. Got rid of my Deluxe Reverb ( too much power and doesn’t come across quietly). This Supro has everything I want or need. I’ve stopped plugging in my pedal board and straight into the amp now. It’s great at lower volumes. Thanks again for the review.

[@RichardSheehan]

I've had one for a couple of years and love it. With a Tube Screamer in front and judicious use of of the volume and master dials, you get some great tones.

[@landonbailey]

Very nice!

[@Butterfliesandzebras]

I usually turn the master full and use the preamp, it sounds niiiceeee

Sweetwater also had a plum (on sides) and cream version for a little bit, which s what I snagged. And yes, it is a fun and versatile amp, specially at home. And yes, NOT a fan of top mounted knobs, or how you have to change tubes. Chassis has to come out. Makes a great power amp for my digital stuff.

[@cathaldalymusic]

I've owned this amp for a year or more now, and still love it. Sounds great with all my guitars. I only wish the drive switch was on a pot or was a less gain circuit. I don't think I'd ever sell it.

[@epicoutdooradventures1892]

Just got the delta king 12 and love it. Only oroblem i have is i use it to gig small bars with a band. And the foot switch drive has no control of levels. So to use it properly i have to press both switches at same time. Turning boost on when drive is off. And drive on boost off. Pedal would solve this problem but bypasses the biult in drive. Which i like.

[@garyatkins4479]

I had the 12 15 watt version and sold it to get the 10 5 watt lower power version for home. Great amps

[@norseman61]

Very nice! I like your taste in amps. I love most Fender amps, and I’ve loved every Supro I’ve ever heard... which is why the only amp I own is a Katana 50 MKII. I’m just one guy, and an old one at that. The Katana is a “do everything” amp, and I’m a “do very little well” kind of player.

[@rodneytod7141]

I have this amp and love it! I got the Tweed color because tweed sounds better than black on black.

[@AndrewC1983]

Wow, that thing can get pretty gnarly 😊

[@rodrich1644]

I have the DK10. More annoying than controls on top is the fact that they are oriented to the rear. Who stands behind their amp to adjust? As for likes? I like that I can get great tones at bedroom levels and it still get plenty loud.

[@timshuckhart1998]

You should do a comparison of the Supro and the monoprice. Love the videos. Keep up the good work

[@landonbailey]

Great suggestion!

[@samizdat113]

The line out and power amp in are just an effects loop.

[@joelwells]

Apparently this doesn't work, curious to know?

[@wootks]

@@joelwells I can confirm that this does not function as an effects loop. I own this amp. Once you plug into the power amp in, the preamp out is disabled. They likely did this because the simple loop operates at line level and not instrument level. They prob didn't want the extra support burden of people not understanding why their pedals are clipping in the loop.

[@nedludd3641]

I loved this video a lot. I just bought one coz Black Friday, $318 from Andertons. It's a beauty. However, your 'single coil' sample is suspect imo. The three way switch is back, so it's sampling the bridge humbucker on the Tele.

[@keithsa41]

Love your enthusiasm and content. Very entertaining 👏

[@landonbailey]

Thanks so much!

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

Sort of a burnished bronze sound with silvery fuzzy bits around the edges that take over more and more as it gets driven ...if you wanted to know what it looks like :D That super cheat code mode definitely sounds like something Trent Reznor would use :)

[@ZitherBeast]

I bought a Supro Blues King 8 a few years ago and even on it's lowest settings, it will shake the paint off the walls. My biggest gripe against that amp is that it doesn't have a reverb built in, and that's my only bad thing to say about my Supro. Great little amp that it be.

[@kilgoretrout321]

Supro has great amps. I keep on wanting to try their Supro Keely Customs with the effects loop designed by Robert Keeley. Sounds like a great pedal platform

[@jerryhorton5708]

Owned this one. The clean tone was stellar. Digital ‘verb was outstanding (coming from a guy who uses as little ‘verb as I he can get away with). Boost - check for a musical tone. One complaint from me - the ‘fat’ gain was way over the top for my tastes. Did it sound a little boxy? Yeah, the cabinet is bit small. Would I recommend this amp? Yeah, it’s a great little tool. I just traded it up but I sure didn’t regret owning it.

[@laurentmeiller5171]

hi, how to use more effects (no connections) ? a multi-effect + an od pedal ? od - me-amp will it make noises ?

[@keramkaibukaj]

Hey Landon, how does it compare to the Monoprice 15-Watt? Is the tone "more expensive"? :-)

[@pieve5516]

Landon, you should have emphasized the best part of the amp. Turn up the volume and turn down the master for a great home blues tone. Really good. I am not a fan of the Pigtronix.

[@landonbailey]

The best part to me was the drive and the input options

[@slimsantilli4476]

I have an Ibanez TV amp. Though the Supro looks similar. The Supros reverb is a lot better. Nice review.

The Ibanez TV amp has great cleans and you gotta like the built-in screamer Plus you don’t need a stand because it has legs

[@mrwiggles837]

the line out/ power amp in seems like its just an effects loop with a different name.

[@buzzbuzzerson3592]

You can play live with it. Just put a mic on it. I have a quilter microblock 45 I use with a 12 inch speaker I put in a tiny old portable record player case that's about the same size as this amp. I just mic it for bigger rooms or outdoor shows. Sounds like a Marshall half stack when I mic it.

[@sergioalvarez5949]

Ive been looking at these amps for a week now, i cant decided if I want the 5 watt or 15 watt. HELP.!

[@justmehere6094]

What you didn't show, is something I think this amp excels at, Edge of Breakup tone. Also, great tones cranking the volume and keeping the Master down at home, and different feel and tone, the other way around.

[@Goosemeyer]

Preamp out and power amp in is what’s affectionately known as the effects loop

[@landonbailey]

Except the line out is disabled when the power amp in is used

[@jamescaldwell1933]

Landon, constructive criticism: I have watched the video twice, once using TV speakers, then 2nd time with good quality headphones. The recorded tone of the amp sounds a bit treble heavy and harsh. Don't know if it sounded that way in the room for you. This is true to my ears on both the single coil Tele and your HB guitar. Were the tone controls centered? Does boosting mids on the amp help that? Perhaps it's a mic or mic placement or audio interface "problem". Or maybe you went direct out into interface? Love the looks of the amp, but would need to hear more live to make a decision to buy one. Good video overall. Thanks.

[@landonbailey]

It never sounds the same in the room vs the recording. The controls are all shown on screen 🎸👍

[@FelipMartiV]

La precisión con la que regulas la reverb es asombrosa, no obstante, me ha decepcionado al final cuando la has puesto al MAX en lugar de al 99%

I'm very curious if thel line out and power in, functions exactly like an effect loop, except that it has just been been renamed, I have the same amp but the delta king 8, it only has the line out, You should put a delay betwen the line out and power in! See if it functions traditionslly like an fx loop would 😊

[@ryersondodge1998]

So wondering my man for a bedroom player that likes very clean and articulate which is best 12, 10 or 8? Love the color but they had a blue one I wish I would've snagged!

I have the 10" version and I love it. I don't like that much the pigtronix overdrive with single coils (I prefer to plug a Tube screamer like pedal), but with humbuckers sound great. With the separate Volume and Master controls is a perfect amp for home practice

No, unfortunately not, as soon as you plug anything in the power Amp in, the preamp out is silenced. Not clear to me why. If anybody finds out a mod...

[@mjolnircarlssen4211]

Solid state amps are catching up with everything else in the musical world. They keep getting better and better, and at more and more reasonable prices. Supro has been making incredible products (this statement from a Roland Blues Cube guy).

[@DavidBostock-ti2fv]

Thanks for bringing those up, they are more interesting to me than $700. obsolete poser tech a newbie could care less about, and my bathroom has late 1950s seafoam green tiles, yuck. Fender Mustang Micro has built in selection of many old crappy amps, and the fancy box of the $100.+ toy is WITHOUT ANY MANUAL but the manual can be found online, BUT NOT FROM FENDER WEB PAGE, they😮 stink for that one issue twice.

IMHO Mr. Bailey (and greetings from down south...eh!) this amp sounds great. However, the direct approach would sound better with an effect pedal board. Neat in fact. Just my opinion, sir. I'd very much consider this amp because of price point and simplicity...as a used product.

[@thebrysmith3]

Raise your hand if you play your amp at home and want to step around behind it to work the control panel. Anyone? No? Real stupid layout.

[@matthewmacdonald9851]

Yeah, I've had this gripe for years... I suppose it's in homage to old tube amps from the 50s, back when you played on a bandstand with an orchestra or something and the amp was in front, between the band and the crowd. Since the 60s, guitarists have moved their amps to the backline (hence the term) and this is one reason amps began to be made with their control panels on the front. I get the urge to put the knobs up top, it makes for a cleaner, more attractive look from the audience perspective. But if manufacturers wanna do that, they need to flip it around so the player isn't reading the text and looking at knobs and switches upside down from the usual position, which has been in front of the amp for going on 60 years now.

[@matthewmacdonald9851]

It's a shame they built the control panel the way they did, because the Delta Kings are really cool amps with a nice feature set and great tones, especially at their price point.

[@seanzinger]

Sure is a pretty little thing.

[@jeffreyrivers1983]

Chic amp

[@Prajnana]

Personally, not my taste in overdriven amp tones - too raspy.

[@bigbasil1908]

It sounds very good. To me it doesn't look great from the front and the colour seems a bit gay. The reverb seems a bit underwhelming. The control panel looks good, and the back looks fine. What they used to cover the speaker looks a bit crap to me. If only they had used a better or more interesting textile to cover the speaker. I see they do other colours. They have 4 stripes, which is one more stripe than adidas 3 stripes lol. As I say it does sound good. I think they could have done so much better on the design of the front of the amp and it would look better without those stripes. As someone else has said in the comments 'Chic Amp' and I was kind of thinking that, at least in that colour. Maybe a sporty chic with those go faster stripes lol. I wouldn't be disappointed if someone gave me one of those as a present but I personally wouldn't buy one. The reverb actually sounds so much better in the secret crazy mode, I just got to that bit lol. I think a different material for a speaker covering could improve the looks of the amp a lot.
