THE NEW SUPRO Delta King 12 takes its visual cues from the 1950s Valco-made Supro Comet, with its TV-front cabinet and vertical racing stripes. While the amp pays tribute to the blues roots that give it its name, Supro cleverly updates the formula with a handful of features that contemporary players will appreciate, paying homage to the original while expanding the Delta King 12’s versatility.
