"Valve amplifiers, despite their inefficiency, indeed, because of their inefficiency, will never fall out of favour. For many, valve tone is the acme, the ideal to which all solid-state and modelling amplifiers strive for. But given the need for those valves to be worked hard for the amp to sound at its best, we'll see more and more compact low-wattage tube combo options, amps such as Supro's new Delta King series."
There's a Delta King in tweed in the background of 60 Cycle Hum's new video! This is the first time I've seen someone with one of these! Looks like it's larger. Maybe a Blues king 12? Hoping for a review soon

I think Musicradar messed up their write-up on the Supros ... they say they have a 12AX7 and a 12AU7 tube , but no mention of the 6L6 power tube . Damn , I like the vintage looks of the Deltas , but I already have the Blues King ! Maybe in a couple years I can find a used one at a reasonable price !!The Delta King got a mention on Music Radar's Best New Amps of 2021 listThe Supro Keeley Custom 12 also made the list.

I have to agree that some of his tone is a little harsh , but I think that these amps were not meant to produce higher volume cleans . I do not run the gain switch on on my BK12 . To me it is not a pleasant gain . Many of us have Fender Blues Jr.s and to me the fat switch on them is similar , but more pleasing to me in terms of overdrive . Supro chose to use a Pigtronics OD for the gain , I think it would have been more useful with a pot , rather than simply on or off . I do run the boost switch on all the time on my BK12 , and with the right pedals I can get some great tones . I think running an equalizer pedal with these amps would be good also , I can't find mine or I would try it !!Not to be a contrarian here, I don't think it's the amp...
But between how he has amp dialed in and what he is actually playing, I just don't like anything I'm hearing here.
The playing and the sound ( distorted sound), just is not musical, or pleasing
to me.
Really riding IMO an ugly line between clean and dirty.
His 'just on the edge of breakup' reference really was not what I think of when I hear that description, it was harsh.
I sound and play ( just mean I like what I play) much better, and with my BK 10.
Different strokes I guess

Yes ! This guy did a great demo . Wish he had done the DK12 , I really believe there is a tone difference between the DK10 and DK12 .This guy's Les Paul sounds good. With the 60CycleHum and RJ's demos I think the Tele sounds the best.
Apparently I misspoke ! It seems the DK8 does have a 12AU7 as the power tube !! Whooda thunkit ??!!I think Musicradar messed up their write-up on the Supros ... they say they have a 12AX7 and a 12AU7 tube , but no mention of the 6L6 power tube .
