[@sgt.grinch3299]

That sounds so great to my ear. Brings back all the great tones from the 60s & 70s. Love it.

[@marcelgaryjames]

Love the playing style. This amp brought out something I haven’t heard in your playing, very cool

[@NeopolitianNPLTN]

That rock tone with the 335 was delicious! Such a perfect looking burst on that particular guitar as well...

[@southpawOO7]

That sounded SO good! I remember you talking about how much you liked the comet, glad this came around. Creambacks have really been my jam lately too.

[@chrisloud1976]

Nice playing, great classic tones and sound!

[@toddflowers8052]

I really enjoyed this demo Phil ....it's sounds fantastic !!!

[@tmsglobal5848]

Your review are on the spot! Thanks!

[@craigbragg2842]

I have two Supro amps and really like them both. Might be time to look at a third. Great demo as always!

[@TheBentNote]

That rock tone is insane. One of the best I’ve heard in awhile! Might have to check one of these out..

[@nigef334]

Lovely tone and sound

[@gtr1952]

That sounds great! Nice features, not too big/heavy. Great for 50-75 person rooms. Thanks, great review!! --gary

[@jondonnelly]

Sweet, built in power attenuation is one of my favorite features. Sounds great.

[@juliochingaling5824]

Excellent video brother. Great amp, great review. 🙌 blessings.

[@mortonwilson795]

Great demo! This one sounds absolutely terrific . . . new brand for me, does it all, really. Thanks!

[@seanhershey3390]

Love it.. very cool .maybe a future 12" version?

[@mikecarreca7864]

I heard a test on the Supro 2x12 50 watt and I like it and had great tones . It seems to be made for a strat. Thanks Philip.

[@jeremyp2295]

I love your gear reviews.I run a supro delta king 12 and a gretsch 6118t vse and am totally happy with it really like supro it's easy to use and has great tone. I don't have any problems with running my pedals. Overall I am extremely happy with it.

[@andrewchristie6483]

Hi Phil, another great review, thank you. A bit different to have a 6L6 in a lower wattage amp. I recently ventured into the Supro world by acquiring a Supro 25w 10” 1970RKC also with a Celestion Creamback. It’s a real pedal platform, has 6v6 power tubes and I’m loving the tones. Perhaps Supro or Sweetwater can hook you up for a demo. Very unique and interesting amp.

[@DanielBobke]

Great sounding amp! Looking forward to a demo of your new Badlands guitar!

[@johnwilliamgould]

That amp sounds awesome Phil!! Some of the best tones I've heard on your channel!

[@barackmycat9448]

Great review and great sounding amp!

[@WaterfordGiant]

Sweet! And great playing! This may be the perfect home practice, play, fun amp for someone who loves classic rock like me. I’ve got a place for this.

[@BrianSGuitars]

Great sounding with the gain cranked!

[@picksalot1]

Very musical sounding Amp, with pleasing tones at every setting. It made the guitars sound wonderful, balanced, full, and genre authentic.

[@1rwjwith]

That amp sounds fantastic ! Thanks.

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Sounds great with that Strat!! 👍🏽

[@robhead22]

This is a fantastic demo of an amp i am now going to pine away for!!! Thank you!

[@loubadabin420]

Nice classic sounding amp, don't think I didn't notice your guitar chops are a lot better lately.....

[@randyclark7914]

Awesome video brother!

[@oldskoolz8509]

Wow! Sounds amazing!

[@donnewton415]

Absolutely love my Black Magick amp. My Fenders are and have been covered for some time now. . .

[@andrelp9596]

What a tone !! Awesome

[@DadRockAndGuitars]

Very cool sounding amp!

[@fender0942]

Great as always Phil

[@austindefarcy214]

This is great! Thank you for the demo, love the channel. How do you manage to record with no amp hum? I can’t escape it!!!

[@mattvdh]

wow so much character to this amp. Very interesting sounds

[@FrankLafone]

Damnit Supro! I have neither the space nor the money for another amp! Great vid though Phil, as always. Thanks for highlighting this great amp. Supro's just got this magical something about it.

[@endlessnameless3996]

This video sold me on this amp. I wanted it before, but now I need it.

[@orlandosantiago6603]

I love my Supro Delta King 10. This one sounds great too!

[@DavidHBurkart]

The 335 paired nicely with the Supro. Beautiful tones & all.seem very usable.

[@smelltheglove2038]

I got a CS VOS ‘64 335… I’m an idiot and played it sitting down with double front carhartts and the rivet on the pants dug into the finish right by the bracket that holds the pick guard. Well, now I don’t have to be so careful with it haha. Not that I was ever planning on selling it or anything.

[@billsguitargarage]

Great sounding amp, especially the 1W overdrive tones it gets.

[@guitarz]

Wow I’m completely digging this amp. Totally not in my wheelhouse but I’m in need of something different

[@eljoel89]

$200 cheaper than a Princeton, comes with a Celestion Creamback, and has power scaling options.

[@Vitriol09]

Yeah I'm thinking of ditching my pro junior for this

[@moosemuseum1853]

Princeton is completely different and with push-pull output stage, which provides "cleaner cleans". You may find that more desirable... ot not. I do wish the Princton had power scaling, and this amp sounds sweet and great. I wish Philip had demoed it in the mix vs a Princeton since the question was, Can this replace my Fender?

[@smelltheglove2038]

The only think I want is an FX loop. I have a drop edge Vibrolux, it’s my at home amp. Thing rules. I have a reissue blackface Princeton reverb that would be awesome with an FX loop. Thinking about doing the mod.

[@tmac6949]

@@moosemuseum1853 I own a vintage princeton reverb. The one's that have a solid state power supply. This amp destroys. Got to be all tube to compete. The Supro does a lot more than a princeton. Good Luck.

[@ClayAllred]

The breakup on that sounds really really good.

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

Every time I need a dission to make I watch your vedios you have alway been straight up alway helped in my disisions and have not failed to deliver I'm 100% satisfied with your feedback on music gear wow factor 100%....Thank you....RocknRollFlat5

[@resington]

The Supro stuff is truely some the best retro vintage vibes around.

[@rocktorrocks]

I’m mainly a high gain modded Marshall 80s hair metal fan…but ngl you’re making me want this amp haha. Been looking for a nice “quiet” tube amp to use in studio and as a pedal platform. I’m also a huge Jimmy Page fan so having a Supro would be quite cool.

[@elenbrandt290]

Thanks Phil!!

[@jloiben12]

I never thought of using a power attenuation setting as basically the master volume with the volume knob being basically a gain know. Thank you for that

[@stoneysdead689]

The whole point of attenuation is that to get a tube amp with no overdrive or master volume on it to distort you have to turn it up too loud- so you do that- but then attenuate it back down to an acceptable volume. So, if you didn't think it was used this way- what did you think it was for?

[@llwonder]

Im very impressed by that. Can you do a comparison of a reactive attenuator like tone king Ironman vs that amps power scaling?

[@billnelson9413]

Sounds perfect

[@jambajoby32]

Supros are dope! The og ones are true point to point & very touch-dynamic!

[@JillandKevin]

Great review Philip. I really appreciate that you play it clean and without pedals like just about everyone else!! My question: How does it compare to BF Deluxe Reverb or BF Princeton Reverb? And more specifically, sparkling Fender cleans. My wife and I are on the road in our travel trailer full time playing up & down the West Coast, so small amps are a must. I'm currently using a 2nd gen Blues Junior and a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb, but have been thinking about a Princeton Reverb. Would this be a viable alternative? I love BF sparkle with the bright caps still intact. I play several genres: Western Swing, Older Country, Rockabilly, Swing, Jazz Standards, Old School Chicago Blues (cleans, as Jimmy Rogers on his own recordings & behind Muddy, Little Walter, and ALL the early Chess stuff, and all the early Chicago guys who emulated him on Chess recordings), and other stuff. I guess I should actually TRY one, but you have one and are pretty good at evaluating amps, so... Thanks so much!!! Kevin

[@celticgodsoriginal]

Instantly became my favorite amp, wish I had a spare $1200. BTW Phil you do the best demos on KZbin. Thanks!!!!

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Beautiful

[@JakeWieczorek-ir1vu]

I got myself a Supro delta king 12. I used to have a 100w Marshall JVM that weighed about 35kg. Sold it cash, and never looked back. Despite only being 15w, the Supro tubes absolutely sing. They sound like they run extremely hot and I am VERY impressed, especially as the whole thing cost me about 300.

[@WScott-gd2mj]

Great review and sweet tones. Looking for a small tube amp I could actually play in the house, eyeing Mesa California 1x10 with attenuation but this has more features at a lower price (due to offshoring by Supro's new owner I believe). The one feature I HATE is the control placement. Yeah, I get that it's vintage and a lot of old amps are that way and it's handy for gigging players, yada yada...I don't like back pain and squinting...probably a dealbreaker for me.

[@herroglop7411]

Could you make a comparison video with the princeton? Similar features and power and I wonder how they compare. I think the Supro is darker than the Princeton and with a more raw overdrive sound when both are cranked. Is the Supro for a Jazz-Blues player and the Princeton for a Blues-Rock player( disregarding that "every amp" is for "every music")? Thanks for the video.

[@lantzvincent1699]

That supro sounds rad!

[@honkytonkinson9787]

I’ve got that speaker in a different amp. It sounded great out of the box and way better after breaking it in! I think that speaker could probably help any new amp sound better!

[@DavidLHolzer]

I have 2 Supro amps ( Super 64 and Delta King 10) and saw this one come out and immediately knew I'd have to add it. Great demo.

[@ryanlehr2643]

How do you compare your Super 64 to the Amulet? I’m torn between the two.

[@bruce9531]

Any possibility of a future demo & review of the Henriksen "Bud Ten"?

[@cathybaker262]

I’m still trying figure amps out. Play mostly 70’s rock and currently have a boss katana artist mkii. Struggling with with the fizzy sound. My local shop has a 12 Delta King and have been considering it. How does it compare to the delta king? Thanks Phil. Always enjoy your videos.

[@kwyatt261]

FedEx dropped mine off today, and it sounds and feels better than I even imagined! The 1 watt setting is surprisingly quiet. I was expecting to not be able to crank it even at the 1 watt setting, but it's actually damn near perfect for my bedroom at that setting.

[@mikelanzafame3401]

Would the volume be acceptable for those who live in an apartment ?

[@kwyatt261]

@@mikelanzafame3401 I would say it's too loud for most apartments when dimed at the 1 watt setting, although at lower volume without pushing the amp it's doable.

[@stsgabe]

would absolutely love to see and hear the new Fender Gold Foil Tele thru this amp

[@caryverhalen]

Fantastic content ❤️ new sub 👍

[@tedrackley6233]

I didn't know you had a 335...SWEET! They're SO expensive nowadays. I remember my college had one as a school-owned instrument that students (like me) could use. I did not realize at the time how lucky I was to play one.

[@ferdberfle5069]

You were right! VERY analog! I do appreciate it!

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Great demo. Fantastic amp. I can't say enough good things about my Supro Black Magick...just an insanely good amp especially when you consider the cost. But quality comes first, cost is the bonus. Usually it's the opposite.

[@capefearcapt4679]

Cool! I currently gig with a Supro 1600 Supreme, which is a great amp also, but the onboard reverb and tremolo really have me considering this model. Strong price though?!

[@erestube]

I've got a cheaper Supro that still comes close to my 70s Vibro Champ. The knobs come off a little too easy, but it's great for recording and practice!

[@bulico06]

Sounds killer! Thing would probably sound nice with some P-90's or mini humbuckers.

[@davidcudlip6587]

Word. Would love to plug my Firebird into that thing.

[@dlewtweentorla1210]

Will only say... Oh Heck Ya! You have no idea, The Bird and this amp, awesome, but please keep it a secret! Great how both amp and pickups can bring the best out of each other. With this , more than thought ever could. Check it out, bet you'll get a BIG A$$ smile on your face! Cheers

[@ue4058]

Sounds killer. I dig that you broke out the Dano for the review.

[@musicauthority7828]

That amp is perfect for playing older Rock and Roll. which is exactly what kind of music I like to play. like what you played, The Kinks "I Want to be With You" and The Beatles "Revolution". I definitely like it, I'm going to have check out one of those Supro amps thanks for the information.

[@user-gc2ne6is7z]

For that type of music, if it's the power scaling that appeals, the VOX AC15CH (head), has some power scaling. They aren't that common, and a slightly awkward shape, needs a decently wide cab to sit on, like a 2 x 12". And I think the power scaling doesn't work on all impedances. But, Kinks is that VOX AC-30 gritty shards of glass tone. It can do gnarlier than this, and probably can go much louder if you need it for gigging. In the Europe at least, the VOX AC15CH and V212C (Greenback) cab run to about the same money as the Supro. And could buy a decent 1x10" or 1x12" if you need more portability. Just some other options ... I was looking at these Supros but decided on VOX in the end.

[@musicauthority7828]

It sounded great didn't you hear it? it's probably not good for gigging but I wouldn't be using it for that. and for the quality and price it would be perfect.

[@suzannecoholic1467]

Oh what a fun amp!

[@U2WB]

I'm mesmerized by that beautiful blue sparkle Strat on the wall behind you. Can you tell me anything about it ?

[@BITESIZEJONES]

Recently picked up a mint 1981 Musicman 112 RD 50. Gave it a cap job and threw in a well broken in Jensen c12n. Best combo amp Ive ever owned. Could care less if I ever play through a Fender again. Unless it's an original BF 65 Deluxe Reverb. I've tried some Supro amps. Not me ...

[@alexledford4747]

I would like to hear this running with a Fender Bassbreaker 15 as a 2-amp rig.

[@BCarpenter2314]

Sounds great! I asked Lyle of @psionic audio about Supro's modern amps and their build quality and he had some negative things to say about them. Just based on sound, this was already on my radar, now to do some more research!

[@ChaosAttractor13]

You are chasing Rainbows brother. Lyle has very, very, high standards . If that’s what you want, then have him build it for you. He likes the Suhr and Friedman’s too.

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

@@retroman541 They use run of the mill parts and mount components like tube sockets to the PCBs. Personally, I still think that's good value for a factory-made PCB amp built in the US. Comparable Fender amps are built in Mexico and more expensive, but not any more reliable. One point is that the circuits in most of Supro's amps are very similar or identical with few exceptions. If you want that sweet turret board build quality, look at something like a Valvetrain. Those are insane value. But Supro has their own thing going.

[@ChaosAttractor13]

All tube amps break no matter how well they are built. The good news is they are easily repaired. If you want 99.999% uptime, get a Boss Katana and just buy another if it breaks.

[@tommyhoffman4587]

Sounds great,it's got the best speaker too

[@rickhill6277]

Phil, in your opinion how does this stack up with the Blues Jr? Thanks Sir. Cheers from Salem, Ohio.

[@josephpickard3108]

I don't think they've ever built a bad amp since coming back. I have a Dual Tone from like 2016 and it's stunning

[@dlewtweentorla1210]

From what I've tried and have, would agree. Not for everyone's tone, but do their own thang and stellar so far , especially for the $$$

[@KelsterVonShredster]

my black magick is insanely good!

[@comicsrcool5483]

Ok this may be an off topic question, but what was the Strat you switched to at the end?! You list the ES and the Danelectro, but not the Fender. Just wondering because it sounded great though that amp!

[@chrisbarnes4688]

Sounds great. See you got yourself another 2061X. I still have the one you sold me a long time ago.

[@geoffreysmith4618]

Great review Phillip. How would you characterize this sound vs a Fender PRRI or 68 Custom Princeton? Does this lean toward Fender or British tones? Looking for perhaps a more affordable and versatile Princeton (Fender) sound. 6l6 is attractive.

[@acexxxoasis]

Welp it drips lol It sounds so good. Maybe KZbin has been suggesting only your podcasts of recently but I forget how good you can actually play Mr McKnight. Just a great video great tones very spanky and juicy tone.

[@jeremybaker195]

Is there anyway you could A/B this with a Supro Delta/Blues King? To see how differently they are voice? I have A Delta 12 and I don't need redundancy.

[@TornelliGuitars]

This was a great review and one of only a few on YT, thanks. I watch lots of your vids but don’t tend to comment. Can I ask do you still have this amp and what are your thoughts a couple of months on? I would love a brownface princeton but those things are very hard to come by, this seems to be a good mainstream alternative?

[@BobEstremera]

Yes! Tremolo and Danelectro!

[@michaelw6277]

Man that sounds wonderful… sadly I’m on a Bugera budget though,

[@lescaster2179]

Maybe, maybe not... But that Tone King Imperial MKII could. 🙂 Sounds great, Phil! Cost aside, any opining on this v. the Imp MKII you looked at? Similarities, differences?

[@jimmybharrisjr]

you should check out Buncher amps, they sell them at Driftwood music, st charles missouri

[@jonathanbenge8307]

The specs say it is only a single ended 6L6 power section. Is this right? I doubt it's getting 15watts from that, unless they are measuring it fully distorted....

[@jeffreyhall76]

Hey Phil would you recommend this amp?

[@southernpride2003]

I plan on buying this I'm swapping the tubes and putting some vintage 50s RCA tubes in and I'm swapping the speaker for a Jensen

[@DGoldman973]

Any idea what the decibel level during the ES 335 and Strat on max volume at 1 watt sections may have been?

[@BlurpeeBaggins]

I know this is a weird way to say it, but that amp is like butter for my ears. I think I could listen to Phil noodle on that amp all day long and not grow tired of it. I can no longer afford toys like that, but if I could it would be in my Sweetwater shopping cart right now. I’m almost glad Sweetwater is sold out right now so I’m not tempted to do it anyway.

[@GenePlotkin]

How does it compare to the Delta King?

[@catmandoodoo7903]

The only thing that really put me off Supros is that they didn’t have a ext speaker out jacks. Good to see this has changed. My poor credit card.

[@scottreynolds5455]

I was jammin with this shit! Fuckin' love it. thanks brother.
