    I’ve been saying for about a year now how great these amps are. I have the 8, 10, and 12R (also Galaxy and Black Magick). The 12 especially is such a great pedal platform amp. I find myself playing it more than my more expensive amps (e.g. Sky King). The black/cream looks great in person as does the GC limited white one.

    I have this exact same amp in the BlackBerry cream. It is so pretty looking. Probably the nicest looking thing in my entire apartment. But as far as the sound you can make with this thing, it is rare to find an amp that is this verse at all on its own. The FET boost sounds incredible when the preamp volume is all the way down. So crunchy, but that is not the only thing you can do with the sound. I am actually going to make an album only using the sounds that you can produce with a guitar and this amp

    I have the Delta King 10. Perfect size, as it fits under the desk, but I don’t use it that much. With only Bass & Treble knobs, I have a hard time dialing it in. Of course, it could be my playing. 😬 I do use the line out with master volume at zero, as a preamp to warm up my tone into the Pod Go.

    I have both a Delta King 12 (in all black) and a Blues Jr. To my ears, the DK doesn't get as loud as the BJr, at least in terms of clean and clean-ish tones, and is darker-sounding than the BJr, plus the DK's reverb is on the subtle side IMHO (it doesn't get surfy/drippy like classic Fender reverb when turned up), but the DK is a smartly-designed amp overall IMHO.

    Great demo Phil! I've found these modern Supro amps are really well thought out, solidly made amps that can be excellent alternatives to a similar Fender model. I had been contemplating buying a Princeton Reverb for awhile but what held me back was that I knew I really wanted an amp with an effects loop. One day I read about The Supro Keeley 1970RK Custom 10, found one tried it out, loved it, kept it, and couldn't be happier. The PR is of course an excellent pedal platform, but in my opinion the The Supro 1970RK is a better option. Since it's a very clean pedal platform amp I also have, and love the Supro Drive pedal on my board to get me to those classic dirty Supro sounds- solidly built, and sounds great. Would love to hear if you've tried a Supro RK1970 or the RK1968, (12" speaker) and if so what your thoughts are Phil. Cheers!

Fast forward, had a family and about 10 yrs ago bought a (slightly) used Deluxe Reverb VM. It suits my needs just fine. Any idea why they are no longer available?
