Supro Blues King 12
Sam Bell reviews the Supro Blues King 12. A combo amplifier that captures the vintage Supro amp tone that helped sculpt the sound of early
electric Rock & Roll and the British Invasion of the 1960s. The “single-ended” Class-A tube power amp found in the Blues King provides the raw tonal
characteristics and remarkable touch sensitivity of these mid-century combos, while delivering a full 15 watts of 6L6 tube power.

is a big name in the
amp world, this amp
may be very small and light, but it sure
packs tons of punch, tone and quality. The
Supro Blues King 12 is a 1x12 class A 15-
watt combo featuring a classic design in a
small package. The amp really hits the nail
on the head for the classic British blues tone,
and despite its small combo design the amp
really does fill the space sound wise. It’s a
very simple layout, with volume, 3 band EQ,
reverb (which is amazing, we’ll come to that!)
and master control.
