Though Black Friday 2021 is now a distant memory, Cyber Monday is right around the corner, meaning there are plenty of Cyber Monday guitar deals floating around the internet. After appraising the situation, we here at Guitar World are pleased to report that Guitar Center is still offering up to $200 off two Supro guitar amps.
In this sensational deal, you can scoop up a Delta King 8 for $329 or a Delta King 12 for $449. With the amps carrying original prices of $449 and $649, respectively, this deal is probably the best chance you’ll get to add a high-quality tube amp to your arsenal at such a discounted price.
Be warned, though: this deal won't be around forever. In fact, at the time of writing, there's only 12 hours left on the clock for the Delta King 12 – and that’s if the guitar amp even stays in stock for that long, which we don’t expect it to. So, act fast if you plan on upping your amp game this Cyber Monday.
Supro amps are a genuine force to be reckoned with. Championed by contemporary virtuosos such as Mark Lettieri, Cory Wong, Julian Lage, Chris Payton and Veron Reid, Supros are up there with the best of the very best, and this killer deal will let you tap into juicy tube tones at an almighty discounted price.
Two amps are on offer. The first, the Delta King 12 – available here in an ultra-suave all-black chassis – passed our review with flying colors, which commended the amp for its impeccable touch sensitivity and solid onboard analog reverb.
It’s no surprise the 15-watt Delta King 12 performed so well. The amp – designed to tap into ‘60s-era British Invasion-style rock n’ roll tones – features 15 watts of 6L6 tube power, a custom 12-inch DK12 speaker and front-end gain that comes via a 12AX7 tube preamp. It’s a formidable spec sheet, and one that’s more than capable of giving you those luscious tube tones you’ve been striving for.
In practice, it’s a no-nonsense user experience. The three-band EQ gives you ample opportunity for tonal experimentation, while the toggles for Boost and Drive can tap into some impressive gain sounds with the flick of a switch.
The Delta King 8 is an equally impressive number. Available in Black and Cream or Tweed and Black colorways, Supro’s one-watt amp sets its sights on emulating the sounds of vintage Supros from the mid-’50s – and does so admirably.
The control set is even more streamlined – there are only three knobs for Volume, Tone and Master, as well as a Boost toggle – but don’t be fooled by the lack of bells and whistles. The Delta King 8 is a beast in its own right, and particularly excels when used as a source of pure tube distortion in front of another amp.
A Line Out connection – positioned before the Master Volume – also means it can be sent straight into your DAW for recording purposes.
