That sounds so great to my ear. Brings back all the great tones from the 60s & 70s. Love it.
Love the playing style. This amp brought out something I haven’t heard in your playing, very cool
That rock tone with the 335 was delicious! Such a perfect looking burst on that particular guitar as well...
$200 cheaper than a Princeton, comes with a Celestion Creamback, and has power scaling options.
Yeah I'm thinking of ditching my pro junior for this
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?
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.
@@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.
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
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?
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
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 $$$
my black magick is insanely good!
Sweet, built in power attenuation is one of my favorite features. Sounds great.
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.
Would the volume be acceptable for those who live in an apartment ?
@@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.
Nice classic sounding amp, don't think I didn't notice your guitar chops are a lot better lately.....
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.
That rock tone is insane. One of the best I’ve heard in awhile! Might have to check one of these out..
The breakup on that sounds really really good.
The 335 paired nicely with the Supro. Beautiful tones & all.seem very usable.
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.
Very musical sounding Amp, with pleasing tones at every setting. It made the guitars sound wonderful, balanced, full, and genre authentic.
The Supro stuff is truely some the best retro vintage vibes around.
Supro continues to kill it. I bought a Supro 1970RK Keeley Custom a little over a year ago instead of a Princeton. Absolutely no regrets.
Is supro chinese now?
@@maspesasmasperras5554
Supro is owned by Bond Audio, NYNY, USA.
This video sold me on this amp. I wanted it before, but now I need it.
Love it.. very cool .maybe a future 12" version?
That sounds great! Nice features, not too big/heavy. Great for 50-75 person rooms. Thanks, great review!! --gary
For bedroom volume, the best option i found is my fryette ps-100 power station, it's adding more voices to any amp you have with thoses 2 3way switches(edge,bright,flat and deep warm flat) plus it's adding a loop to any amp that dosen't have one and not to mention the depth nob !
Is that an attenuator?
@@smelltheglove2038 Yes
@@CSLBRK is there anything that does the fx loop without the attenuation? I love my old vibrolux but it doesn’t have an fx loop. I’ve been half assed looking for something and this seems like an option.
@@smelltheglove2038 you can youse it to make any amp to be at the wattage that you want. turn a 5 watt into a 100w or a 100W into a 5 Watt. or keep the 100W at 100W. there are some pedals with loops that will cost you way less if all you need is a loop.
@@smelltheglove2038 It is one of my greatest piece of gear, you play the amp you want at any volume that you want plus it adds more tweakability and voices adjustement and a loop.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I picked one up on the used market recently. Phil is correct in saying the upper mids are more present. I prefer my '68 Princeton for cleans, but the Amulet has more presence in a mix.
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!
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
I have two Supro amps and really like them both. Might be time to look at a third. Great demo as always!
Sounds killer! Thing would probably sound nice with some P-90's or mini humbuckers.
Word. Would love to plug my Firebird into that thing.
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
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.
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.
Perfect amp for me. Sounds great, looks cool, it's small, it doesn't hurt my old back, not too loud (I don't mind a bit of volume, but everybody else seems to hate it nowadays), I can use it in my home studio to create a real tube amp sound on a level that doesn't shock the neighbours, the attenuator switch is very practical, it has a great sounding reverb and tremolo, I love the speaker...., what's not to like?
I was already thinking of buying one at the end of this year (they're not crazy expensive either!), but there aren't many demo video's out yet. So thanks for this one, it helped me a lot! ❤️
Most guitar players now don't own houses, which is why the change in volume preference.
@@faethe000 : I don’t know. The change in volume is everywhere. Rehearsals, bars and even music festivals. Modern times I guess. 🤷🏻♂️
@@mariodriessen9740 I think another change is awareness of hearing damage.
Sounds great with that Strat!! 👍🏽
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.
Nice playing, great classic tones and sound!
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.
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
I have the 15w delta supro, and my goodness for the money I paid it's incredible. I got it for about 350 euro (400 dollars) from some company in Czechoslovakia. It's incredibly tubey, creamy and warm. Sold my 100w marshall and I have no regrets. No more lugging that around
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.
This is a fantastic demo of an amp i am now going to pine away for!!! Thank you!
Do amp builders avoid putting a “mids” control on amps to save on costs? I never understood why just treble and bass are so popular. Thanks and loved the video!
because thats the way vintage circuits were designed and so vintage style amps replicate it. its a "feature" not a defect.
EQ pedal’s are your friends
You can turn down the lows and the highs, and turn up the volume. Effectively you´re cranking the mids that way.
@@greysuit17 Actually a new speaker or cab will change your tone more than an eq, buts its easier to change your eq settings than it is to change a cab lol
Great sounding with the gain cranked!
Lovely tone and sound
Wow I’m completely digging this amp. Totally not in my wheelhouse but I’m in need of something different
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 ...
Im very impressed by that. Can you do a comparison of a reactive attenuator like tone king Ironman vs that amps power scaling?
I really enjoyed this demo Phil ....it's sounds fantastic !!!
Absolutely love my Black Magick amp. My Fenders are and have been covered for some time now. . .
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.
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
That amp sounds fantastic ! Thanks.
Great Video Phil as always. However, I just got an Amulet amp and unless they have changed the design in the last 10 months, there's no place for the optional Supro foot switch to plug in and it's not supported by all the Supro tech data I've looked up.
Phill, please disregard my comments. I feel ridiculous, I was wrong about the footswitch.
It's Supro's version of a Fender princeton.
Instantly became my favorite amp, wish I had a spare $1200. BTW Phil you do the best demos on RUclips. Thanks!!!!
This amp would be tremendous for southern rock. It has spank,verb, and clean tones to the max.
Great demo! This one sounds absolutely terrific . . . new brand for me, does it all, really. Thanks!
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.
That amp sounds awesome Phil!! Some of the best tones I've heard on your channel!
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
I'm mesmerized by that beautiful blue sparkle Strat on the wall behind you. Can you tell me anything about it ?
You need to try out the Magnatone Starlight
I have one they are great
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.
Your review are on the spot! Thanks!
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.
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!
Great sounding amp! Looking forward to a demo of your new Badlands guitar!
Supros are dope! The og ones are true point to point & very touch-dynamic!
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!
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.
Albert Lee used Supro in fact they used to supply him with amps in the late 60s.
I would like to hear this running with a Fender Bassbreaker 15 as a 2-amp rig.
Excellent video brother. Great amp, great review. 🙌 blessings.
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....
Nice Amp and stuff, but I just had to watch Phil's head. With the camera location and the SG behind him it makes it like Phil has devil horns!
I’m curious how it would do with a clean boost or overdrive. Maybe have the amp at edge of breakup, have guitar volume rolled off for clean, full volume for crunch, then a pedal for an overdrive “second channel”. The one channel thing is the only negative factor for me.
wow so much character to this amp. Very interesting sounds
How does it compare to the Delta King?
Great sounding amp, especially the 1W overdrive tones it gets.
Sounds killer. I dig that you broke out the Dano for the review.
I love my Supro Delta King 10. This one sounds great too!
Great review and great sounding amp!
Great demo by Phil showing a wide variety of clean and overdriven tones. Some lovely warm tones coming out of that amp. Many seasoned players believe a high quality amp can make a budget guitar sound great, whereas a poor amp can make a custom shop sound cheap! Just under a year ago I bought a Laney Cub Super 12 15 watt combo. My guitars are mostly mid-range with decent quality pups. Sometimes when I've been playing for an hour or two and it is fully warmed up I find myself thinking 'Where is that tone coming from?' It makes all my guitars sound fantastic! On top of that it has the superb 'Black Country' spring reverb which is pretty much boutique level. Still available here in the UK for around £400 (although I believe you may get hit with import/shipping costs across the pond?!)
Not just import fees- the conversion rate isn't in our favor- 400 pounds equals. $493.49 in US dollars. Then you add the import fees and taxes- we would end up paying close to 600 bucks for it.
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!!!
A TREBLE BOOSTER IN THE FRONT END WOULD BE KILLER!
You were right! VERY analog! I do appreciate it!
What a tone !! Awesome
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.
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!
Yes! Tremolo and Danelectro!
Supro amps have their own character. Nothing else sounds quite like them. I own a Delta King which is a Class A. Not a lot of headroom (hey, it is a Class A amp, after all) but it is unique. Highly recommend Supro for those who aren’t quite F-style amp folk, especially at the price point.
would absolutely love to see and hear the new Fender Gold Foil Tele thru this amp
What about pairing this with a boogie 23” 2x10 cab. It has the same Celestion creamback speaker as the combo. Or is that madness?
Sounds great,it's got the best speaker too
Thanks Phil!!
Hi Phil and anyone who has played this amp. I heard some extra amp his in the Supro demo of the 1x12 despite their using humbuckers. I don’t hear that in yours, although it is the 1x10.
Did you experience any noise while you were not playing, similar to what you heard in the PRS Sonzera? Your comment on the noise in that amp kept me away from it, and it would be good to know if this amp suffers from the same issue. Thanks!
How does this compare to the Delta King 12"? That is an excellent bedroom rock/blues Amp.
Sounds great. See you got yourself another 2061X. I still have the one you sold me a long time ago.
Great as always Phil
Awesome video brother!
Anytime I see a Supro Demo, I am always disappointed when I don’t hear Jimmy Page sounds. 😢 I do love some Ray Davies though!
Jimmy Page might’ve played that as a studio musician. So there’s that
These amps are pretty cool. With a Tele also you can get that fat Sheryl crow if it makes u happy tone. Unfortunelly these are only for pros. Very expensive over here. But it worth all $$$
Wow! Sounds amazing!
