Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Use only the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
To ensure proper ventilation always make sure there is at minimum four inches (101.6mm) of space behind the rear of the apparatus. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation opening with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Do not impede ventilation by placing objects on top of the apparatus which extend past the rear edge of its cabinet.
Please contact Supro directly or a qualified person for tube replacement.
The AC plug is the mains disconnect. The plug should remain accessible after installation.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and objects filled with liquid, such as vases, shall not be placed on apparatus.

ANATOMY AND USAGE

FRONT PANEL

INPUT
Instrument input.
VOLUME
Controls the gain of the preamp. Higher settings cause break-up in the preamp section.
BOOST
Turn this switch up to activate the Boost. This function is foot-switchable.
DRIVE
Turn this switch up to activate Overdrive mode. This function is foot-switchable.
TREBLE
Controls the amount of treble in your tone.
MIDS
Controls the amount of midrange in your tone.
BASS
Controls the amount of bass in your tone.
REVERB
Controls the amount of reverb added to your signal.
MASTER
Controls the volume and break-up of the power section of the amplifier.
STANDBY SWITCH
This turns on the high voltage to the tubes. The tubes should warm up for at least one minute before turning Standby switch to ON. Be sure that the Volume control is set to a reasonable position before switching the amplifier ON as this amplifier can be very loud! For short breaks (5 minutes or less), using the Standby switch will increase tube life.
PILOT LIGHT
This shows that AC Mains voltage is flowing to the amplifier.
POWER SWITCH
Turns on AC power to the amplifier. The Power switch should be turned on, and the pilot light should be lit for 1 minute before turning the Standby switch to ON.

REAR PANEL

BOOST/DRIVE FTSW
Using a TRS cable, connect a two-button, latching footswitch to this jack to facilitate remote switching of the Boost and Drive functions.
LINE OUT
The Line Out provides a buffered preamp output to another amplifier or to a console for recording.
POWER AMP INPUT
The Power Amp input provides a direct injection point for the 6L6 power amplifier in the Delta King 12. Plugging into this jack interrupts the connection between the preamp and power amp, allowing players to use different preamps or modeling hardware to achieve an unlimited variety of tones while still enjoying the Class-A warmth of the Delta King tube power section.

TUBES

Each Supro tube amplifier is 100% analog.

TUBES

TROUBLESHOOTING

Supro products have been designed for years of trouble free service. There are many unique protection features to the design. If you are having difficulties, check the following:

No sound, but pilot light is ON
Check to see that the speaker is plugged into the speaker jack (not the footswitch jack). Make sure all knobs are turned up past zero and that the Standby switch is set to operate. As this is a tube amplifier, the tubes take approximately 1 minute to warm up before you will get sound. The Standby switch should be set to standby for this warm up period.

No sound and the lights are all OFF
Unplug the power cord and check the 3A,250V(100V-120V); 2A,250V(220V-240V) fuse.
