    I have the Delta King 10, I put an Eminence D'Alesandro in it and removed the stock Chinese valves for some quality valves, and the amp has made a spectacular change, today I love how it sounds!! The same thing happened with my AC15 when I changed all the stock valves, the change is quite big for me!!

      @@SenfMustard I couldn't tell you why it has improved for me in its entirety, perhaps it is the placebo effect, sometimes we notice more change than there really is, but to me it sounds much better than before, and the investment is not high.

    Great review James, thanks. I've literally just got a DK10 this week, absolutely love it! Lovely cleans, great spring reverb, perfect overdriven tone for blues and not too loud for home use. Also it looks awesome with a real vintage vibe (I have the black version) + very reasonably priced. Great job by Supro! 🎸🎸

    Really cool amp mate, you should try a tele through it, I know its not the same model but Led Zeppelin vol1 was mostly Jimmy Page's Dragon Telecaster through a low wattage Supro amp! I have the Mad Prof Honey Bee pedal which was loosely based on that Supro sound and on low gain I can really nail that Good Times, Bad Times tone, when using my Baja Tele, that pedal into a more mid pushed tweed style amp. Glorious Tones!!!

    These are fantastic amps. I've recently just sold mine, to fund another purchase. My only disappointment was the distortion circuit. Its far from useful. It should have been on a pot or at least a lower gain circuit. I have tried to get an answer from supro, but no response. Would I buy one again? Yes! Great video as always, keep it up

    i got one recently and i prefer the sound of it for bluesy stuff to my dsl40C (Using it in triode mode - 20w) when playing/practicing at home. it squawks, squeals and farts in just the right places. i agree the overdrive is eh...you just have no control (the footpedal does help a little). The reverb is awesome compared to the dsl. the marshall does have one thing, the crunch channel, which this doesn't, okay 2, i can blow the windows out in pentode mode on the lead channels.
    I haven't mic'd it up yet but i'm thinking a ribbon paired with a 57 would catch the beef as well as the chicken.

It is not necessary to say its price, right?... sometimes it depends on how lucky one is!! I couldn't speak very well about the Fender that I have and yet it is a high quality and well recognized brand, it is assumed!!!! As said... everything new is made to last a short time, from iPhones to amplifiers!! We want cheap prices, because the construction is bad!!!
