Thank you for putting this up there. I just bought one of these amps used as my first tube amp. I love the tones you are getting. I am having a really hard time seeing where the knobs are set to, because of how small the little white dots are. Would you be willing to post an approximate number setting for each knob for these tones? I would very much appreciate it.

This is my upcoming selection for a new amp . I have a Steve Vai legacy drive amp and was wondering if I should run gain pedal into the front end or fx loop?

I bought this amp a few weeks ago and wasn't impressed off the bat. I swapped the tubes and gained some moderate sound improvements but wasn't really all that happy. Despite some of the tones I was hearing on other youtube videos, I just couldn't dial in something I was happy with. I was going to put it up for sale, but I came across this video. I have to say, this review is a masterclass in how to get the best tones out of this amp. I am floored by the sound I am getting now and I would be kicking myself if I had sold it. Well done, Jack. You've got a lifelong fan in me.

Jack you do some sweet amp demos dude. Put that amp through it's paces. Pretty nice sounding amp.

Hi Jack - you are a terrific resource for us guitarists and musicians. Your videos are AWESOME and chock full of very valuable information. This video was one of the reasons that I had my eye out for any sales of either the Supro Blues King 10 or 12. I was keeping my fingers crossed on the 12 and sure enough, the oft-mentioned Sweetwater Black Friday sale occurred last week, and I was able to snag this awesome amplifier for $329 including footswitch, cover, and cable. I can go on about why this amp is a perfect fit for me but that's not the point. I did want to relay something to you that appears to be a common complaint of these amps. The reverb on this amp appears to get unusable past 9 or 10 o'clock. This is an observation made not just by me but several others on a popular guitar forum, and, some users in the comments below (namely @Pierre G). It's a little hard to explain but immediately evident when hearing it occur. It starts to get 'mechanical'? 'Washy'? 'Echoey'? at even slightly higher levels. Plus, the tail on the reverb is unusually long. I don't know if that is a Supro characteristic or not, but, it really does seem to be longer than other stock amp spring reverbs. I don't know, do you think there could be some quality control issues with the spring reverb components? Could it be related to the preamp tube? (Sorry, I'm not really an amp tech). I have heard of others swapping out the stock preamp tube in order to get some more clean headroom, and I wonder if there is a relationship between a poor quality preamp tube and the end result of the reverb effect. Finally, I would be woefully remiss if I did not mention how spectacular of a player you are. Your original compositions are superb. I love to stumble onto your videos no matter what you are reviewing! Thanks for sharing your invaluable insights.

Hey, thank you for all that! I appreciate the kind words, really glad you enjoyed the video. It was funny, this video had been getting pretty steady views, but suddenly tons of views and comments due to the Sweetwater sale. Regarding the reverb -- as cool an amp as this is, it is still an inexpensive "consumer level" amp. Sounds like something might be fishy with yours, but the stock reverb tank is pretty cheap. A nice reverb tank would be a pretty easy mod to make this amp better. Tubes as well, like you mentioned. I'm not a tech so I can't comment much more than that though.

bought mine through ZZounds at 5:30pm on wednesday, it arrived at my house at 1pm on thursday. Thank you for the review, this thing sounds killer! I especially liked the sound with my P90 les paul.

Yes a very cool amp I got one when they first came out Impulse purchase LoL but no regrets at all Love the boost but not so about the gain function but maybe a AU7 in the preamp stage would help that What really shined for me was the line out Into my 100 watt Tonemaster it really sounded great Almost turned it into a no pedals needed situation Plus both amps have fx loops so leaves that issue wide open Maybe a speaker upgrade to one with more headroom would be something to think about to make it a top shelf small gig amp But overall I would recommend this amp and great price point as well Fantastic demo Jack Good stuff 👍

COINCIDENCE ?? Hi Jack, me again - I first looked you up for the Blues Deluxe demo, and today for the SUPRO Blues King. Coincidence that the same guy is selling both and you are helping me select the one I want. On the Blues Deluxe, I agree. Change the speaker to an Eminence Governor (I like em better than the Cannabis), and maybe a new set of Mullard tubes (love the tone I get from JJ and Mullard tubes). great look with the tweed too - With the SUPRO, the one I have in mind buying has a torn speaker cloth, I "think" the speaker is blown and may need new tubes. Based on what I heard on your video - to my ear the SUPRO sounds best with the single coil and Filtron pups. Maybe the Gib LP pups are a little too hot?? To me made the amp sound screechy and a noisy... As for looks the all black is a little drab. Since I have to change the speaker cloth (if I buy it), I would maybe try a vintage brown speaker cloth for a little contrast. ANYWAY - Thanks again for making great and informative videos.

I sent back the Supro BK8 and traded up to this one. The BK8 wasn't loud enough for me. I like having the volume if needed and having a defined sound at lower volumes. After watching this again, I made the right decision.

I got one of these recently to use with my Les Paul- I was looking for a low wattage tube amp a bit more aggressive than the blues junior. I have so far been pretty satisfied with the tones. Im most pleased with the natural breakup with and without the boost. The gain is acceptable with a compression pedal engaged. The volume/gain function is nice to have at low volumes and the fact the amp isnt unbearably loud at full tube saturation is also very convenient. Breakup is tight, but wish it had a little less low-clipping. Chassis removal is easy if tubes have to be changed out (mine had messed up tubes so i stuck in name brand tubes). When i engage the bridge humbucker, im getting a bit of a scooped sound- i think thats the voice of the 490t pickup, id like to scrap those for some duncan paf replicas at some point. The amp is rewarding, and inspires me to play a few hours everyday on the weekend, and a hour or more after work days.

Love this review Jack! I have a BK12 and I do like it; tons of features for the money and it’s my first tube amp.

I still find the tone a bit dark; anyone want to recommend a replacement speaker? I’ve watched tons of KZread videos but the ones I like are sounding similar... I’m not sure of KZread gives me an accurate sound anyway. So far I like Celestion G12M or Neo Creamback? Eminence Lil’ Texas or Swamp Thang? I’m open to ideas. Furthermore I may not be playing enough on the amp to have broken it in too (kids and a wife prevent using this at night and during the day I use a JHS little black box).

Now I have to decide whether to put the 10 in the Supro (with a reducer) or spring for a 12. I also put a JJ 5751 in the preamp and it has helped raise the headroom nicely as well.

Thanks! So it depends on your needs. For the price this one is tough to beat, however, its not the loudest amp and wont give you a ton of clean headroom (i.e. the louder you need it to be, the less clean tones you'll have). Are you playing in a band? The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe would be a more versatile gigging amp with louder clean tones and channel switching, but then this one is more portable and can probably get a wider range of tones.

@@JackFossett thanks for replying!! but how about the clean tones? we're mic'ed anyway.. so will it break up at around volume 4?

@@BardOfTheSixString Yeah if you're mic'd you'll be fine. You just wont have comparative "stage volume" -- so if you don't use monitors and are relying on hearing the amp on its own on stage, that might be problematic. Otherwise fine.

I think with a higher headroom speaker you would be fine but the BK was designed to break up like the old combo's did Great amp tho but no clean headroom I bought one when they first came out No regrets Love it for what it does

I know it is my weakness but I lobed the tele tone (a lot)

Sounds like it's really dark and muddy. I think fenders probably have more presence in the higher notes. I just can't hear any chime or brightness.

Why would someone give this video a thumbs down?

Thanks for in-depth review. I can't afford to drop a grand on a fender champ or a tone king gremlin. Based partly on your review I ordered the bk8. I hope I can get some of those tones out of it with my classic vibes 50's strat. Have a great new year! Isaiah 38:20

I tried the GRemlin and its MEH

Would you recommend this over a vox ac10? The digital reverb on the ac10 doesn't bother me, and I play classic rock, indie rock, jazz, and doom metal. I'd like a tube amp that will sound good at low volumes, but also be able to play small bar gigs. Which amp is more durable? Thanks for making cool reviews, subbed.

Thanks! So overall I think the Supro is way better than the Vox, however if you also play metal, the Vox gets more of a buzzsaw type drive that may suit you better. But I'm not hugely familiar with that genre so it depends -- the Supro gets more of a low end fuzz drive whereas the Vox has that upper midrange scream.

Yes I ordered one but was too late I guess. Spoke with one of their reps and they’re out of stock as of ~8pm Friday night. BUT they didn’t take it down from the internet until after complaints were made. Why keep it up if it’s not in stock? Frustrating. Happy for everyone who got their hands on one though!

That sucks ... when I did see it listed for $299.00 I was pissed BUT I got the cover, cord and foot switch for $349.00 ... They should let you get one for $299.00...since it was still listed... I know Supro was just bought out in the last month by another company...not sure what is going to happen.

The FX loop works great Supposedly you can run your whole pedal board through it What I really like is using the line out to a 100 watt amp It's like the perfect frosting on a fantastic cake Yummy fo sho

I have one of these. Every time I use it I feel like I'm Marty Mcfly. This amp just bleeds cranked 1950-60 tone.

Fender bassbreaker or bk 12?

@JackFossett

Either are a good choice. I feel like the Bassbreaker will sound a little bigger and more modern. This will sound more vintage. But realistically they’re small differences.

And for comparison, here's a Supro Delta King 12 being used live: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6uFro-Cnc3fdag.html

Thought I heard some Smithereens.

Very dark clean tones :(

He's explaining the controls and what he found they do specifically. Very useful to know to dial it in quicker.

This amp sounds terribly mediocre to me. Why would anyone buy this Supro when there are so many choices of better sounding amps on the market?
