Supro Blues King 10 Guitar Combo Amplifier (5 Watts, 1x10")

No longer available at zZounds
Great for practicing and the studio, the Supro Blues King 10 can get tube saturation at a lower volume that won't annoy the neighbors.

The Blues King 10 delivers the authentic 6V6-powered tube-amp tone of the Chicago-made Supro combos from the 1950s. The Class-A power amp found in the Blues King 10 provides all of the natural compression and touch-sensitive headroom that have made these vintage "single-ended" combos a go-to solution for studio recording since the early days of Rock and Roll.

In addition to the traditional 12AX7 tube preamp in the Blues King 10, a BOOST function can also be switched into the signal path for an extra push. When even more gain is desired, the Blues King 10 offers a FAT DRIVE mode with a freshly designed CMOS tube emulator circuit that will send your tone soaring over the top with additional distortion and sustain. 2-band EQ and Master Volume controls join the footswitchable BOOST and DRIVE functions to help tailor the amp's sound for gigging, recording and home practice.

The 1810R Blues King features a custom-made genuine analog spring reverb and a line output located before the master volume for direct recording or slaving to another amp. The vintage-inspired poplar wood cabinetry is based on the mid-50's Comet model and comes loaded with a BK10 speaker. This custom-made 10" driver was specifically designed to capture the magic of the original field-coil speakers used in the earliest American tube amps.

Reverb is super springy, almost surfy, and dry (not bad, but not a warm tube reverb). Even on a low setting it’s a little springy. Boost is subtle and works well, no noticeable change in tone. Drive is actually nice, a bit compressed and saturated, but not overkill - think Warren Haynes. EQ is not very effective, bass gave me almost a boost, treble was almost nothing. Master works like it should, your tone pretty much stays the same as you roll it up/down. Easy to get tube driven tones at very low volumes. Also stays clean to about 2/3 o’ clock, so there is some headroom. Amp has its own sound, somewhere between AC and BF.
