Delta King 8 Demo with Zach Comtois | Supro

Supro

Description

The Delta King 8 is a modern rendition of the low-wattage Supro amplifiers produced in Chicago during the mid 1950s. True to the Supro sound, it features a genuine Class A all-tube signal path, featuring a 12AX7 tube preamp, our custom 8" DK8 speaker, and vintage-style poplar cabinetry. Offering just 1 watt of all-tube tone, the Delta King 8 is a studio must-have, featuring a Line Output that allows the amp to be used as a source of pure tube distortion before hitting another amplifier or going directly into your DAW. The Line Out is even conveniently located before the Master Volume, allowing you to crank the preamp gain while simultaneously blending in the sound of the onboard speaker to taste.

    I use it mostly for recording into my daw and it's sounds amazing! Know what you're buying! It has no reverb and it is not loud, but if you go out of the amp's speaker-out into a mixing console for recording, the amp is great! I can get everything from clean to a really beautiful tube distortion with my strat and this amp. I went out of this into the back of my Katana 100 with just a small spring reverb pedal and wow! Love it!

    I waited several months for this to amp to arrive and unfortunately was very disappointed. There was no way to get a decent tone out of this amp. I had the tone turned all the way up to the treble side and was playing a Tele on the bridge pick-up and there was still no brightness at all. There was also a hum when the guitar was plugged in, so maybe it was defective. Returned it and am back in the market for a small living room amp.

    I really wanted to love this amp After watching all the YouTube reviews, i thought this would be an excellent practice amp for apartment volume levels. With the clean tones, the bottom end was pretty muddy. When using the amps natural overdriven sound, it just turned to mush. The top end sounded pretty decent, but power chords (E, G,A, and B) just sounded terrible. Using pedals in front of the amp for overdrive and fuzz help a fair bit. Running the amp through a 12 Celestion Creamback speaker helped a lot. What i eventually did was found the best sounding clean as possible and put my pedalboard in front of the amp. I ordered a Jensen 8 inch ceramic speaker hoping that would help the bottom end. That will tell me if the problem is merely the size of the speaker and cabinet, or this specific speaker. My guitar teacher thinks the problem could be just that the low wattage isn't enough to drive the bottom end. Anyway, I give the Supro Delta King 3/5 stars. If I had it to do over again, I'd look hard at a VOX AC4 with a 12 inch speaker.

    I watched all the YouTube reviews and it seemed like a great apartment practice amp. Playing with a guitar with either humbuckers or P-90s, the bottom end clean was WAY to muddy, and overdriven then thing sounded terrible (playing E, G, B, A power chords it was just mush). I'm guessing this has to do with the 8 inch speaker and small cabinet. When i set it as clean as possible and used pedals (tube screamer, archer, OCD drive, cupacabra-Billy Gibbons style fuzz). It was sort of acceptable. I ran it thru a 12 inch cream back speaker and it sounded a lot better. The main reason I'm keeping it is that it's nice to have an amp i can use in an apartment that I don't need to put through an attenuator. I'm going to try a speaker swap to a Jensen ceramic speaker to see if that helps tighten up the bottom end.
