Supro Blues King 12 , 1x12, 15 W
Product no: 9000-0049-3609 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Supro Blues King 12 is a 15-watt tube guitar amplifier combo that was inspired by the type of amps used in rock and roll music back in the 1950s and '60s. It has a Class A 6L6 power amp tube and a 12AX7 preamp tube that ensure the dynamics in your playing come through clearly. It's great for the studio, but also powerful enough for use on stage. The natural breakup on this amp is nothing short of legendary (as Jimmy Page knows only too well!). Whenever you need that little bit extra, simply flick the boost and/or gain switches.

Supro Blues King 12: killer tone at home, in the studio and on stage!

This amp combo features a custom-made analogue spring reverb and the FX loop means you can easily add external effects too. The line output can be used to link the Blues King 12 to another amplifier or for recording purposes. The built-in BK12 12-inch speaker is based on the field-coil speakers that were used in the first American guitar tube amps. Sounds can be easily shaped using the bass, mid and treble controls. Last but not least, the Supro Blues King 12 has a classic look with a stylish black tolex finish.

Wrote the following about Supro Blues King 12 , 1x12, 15 W

It is a really nice amp ! You can really play at home with a huge amount of dynamic and versatile sounds (from Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Blues, ROCP, Funk,..but also "traditional" US clean sounds). With one 6L6 and 12ax7, it is really enough and much better than digital amps. Reminds me old US Blues harp blues (think Valco, Gibson EH) but with the flexibility of a modern guitar amp (boost, gain, master volume, FX loop).

Really amazing and much more versatile, in my opinion, than his main competitor (Blues Junior).

To recommend !

Wat een teleurstelling...
Las al enkele negatieve reviews maar dacht: "Er valt altijd wel wat te zeuren." Ik ken Supro van de Black Magick Reverb en dat ding klinkt geweldig dus waarom deze niet? Waarom weet ik niet maar klinken doet hij niet echt. Vooral als je de gain inschakelt word je niet vrolijker... De Black Magick is ruim twee keer zo duur maar klinkt drie keer beter. Goedkoop (wat is goedkoop in dit geval) blijkt dan toch duurkoop. Snel geretourneerd dus...

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.

Mesa Boogie now introduces, alongside the Mark Five Twenty-Five, the Mark Five Thirty-Five! Mesa has continued their glorious tradition by using four EL-84 power tubes in the amplifier, contrary to the earlier Mark Five Twenty-Five, that had to manage with 'only' two. This amp, preceded by the Nomad, Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five and the Caliber, has been released onto Mesa's mini platform in a combo as well as a head version.

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Renowned instrument colossus Roland first introduced their Blues Cube amplifiers back in the 1990's. The idea was simply to program a transistor amp to sound like a tube amp. Now, more than twenty years down the line, they've perfected that idea. The result is the brand-new Blues Cube Hot: a portable 3-watt combo in Black and Vintage Blond.
