Description of product

The Delta King 12 all-amp guitar combo offers the typical sound of the Supro guitars that helped define early Rock & Roll and the so-called British Invasion of the 1960s. Musicians who have played the brand include Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie.

The Delta King 12 is a 15-watt combo equipped with a single DK12 12-inch speaker that has been specially designed to faithfully replicate the balanced and rich tone of the 1960s. It contains two tubes - a 12AX7 in the preamp, where the sound picks up gain, and a 6L6 in the Class A rear amp, which produces a faithful, undistorted tone. The character of the sound can be adjusted using the three-band EQ and the Volume and Master potentiometers. The Reverb knob adjusts the level of the built-in spring reverb, and two switches activate the Boost and Drive functions - Boost is driven by a unipolar (FET) transistor and gives the sound higher gain and stronger mids, while Drive activates Pigtronix's Fat Drive circuitry to produce thick rock distortion.

The rear panel offers an input for an external footswitch (not included) to control the Boost and Drive functions, and a line output that lets you use the combo as a DI preamp and connect it to another machine or directly to your DAW. You'll also find a 6L6 end amp input that breaks the connection to the integrated preamp and lets you connect another preamp or hardware, opening up almost endless sonic possibilities. The quality of workmanship is underlined by the stylish art deco design. The construction is made of high quality poplar wood, which is covered with durable leatherette (tolex) in various colours. Whichever you choose, you get a combo that will stand out at all times with its stylish design and precise sound.
