The Cornell and Supro sound like a bee in a jam jar, can you not get a better overdrive sound than that?
how do they sound with a American Strat?
I'll stick with my Fender Pro Jr. and a pedalboard.
Supra sounds harsh, really harsh mate.
the Cornell sounded great…love attenuators
The Fender sounds awful. For £350 or often less you can get a Marshall DSL5CR
Thanks for this demo …These are all very cool, but I’m still liking my Epi Casino into a Bugera V5 into a 1×12 greenback cab just fine….and yeah , the money has something to do with it…can’t afford any of these… ????

Thank you for showing these three amps. I learned that a 5 watt tube amp that I've heard elsewhere, and costs under $200, sounds better than these.
Your not the only one..But if your doing a Shoot-Out…You need to play the samething on each one.. and if you have something like the tremolo you show it last…
I would put up my Laney Lionheart L5 over all of them????????
Thats a W for the fender.
Supro and Cornell Made In China…Vibe Champ Made in Mexico I will go with Fender all day
I have the Supro DK 10 5w. It is a great small amp. Two separate controls for gain and master volume and two controls for tone, plus two channels each for boost and drive make this a very versatile amp. Easy to dial in both clean and crunch tones and takes pedals well to create a surprisingly good lead sound for home play and smaller venues. The 10” speaker also gives it that much more clarity and headroom than an 8” with all other specs remaining the same. I do wish it had a default option for both effects loop and a two-port connection for larger speaker cabs (it can however be run into other amps through a single port effectively turning it into a versatile 4-ish channel pre-amp). Those can be modified through a tech. Also worth noting that the package doesn’t come with a switching pedal so you either have to switch by hand or buy a separate pedal. But those are small trade offs for a self-contained amp at an extremely reasonable price.
I run my 5 watt tube amps, one at a time (I have 6 of them) of course through my Marshall Full Stack of (2) 412 cabs. I appreciate a more fuller sound that way. Why not? As they all have an speaker output jack on the back. – Peter age 73
thank you for the video I'm hardcore Supro after this video watched a ton of them and made my choice but the Delta King 12. other 2 sound very good but Supro for me.
i bought a Weber MicroMass attenuator to use with my Vibro Champ. It’s kind of like having a second voicing with adjustable low and high mids, and let’s you get cranked amp sounds at very reasonable levels.
Great comparison and very nice playing Sam. Subscribed!
Marshall Class 5?
Great review!
Why use the neck pickup on the Cornell with gain and the bridge pickup on the Fender and Supro?
If you really bond with a guitar, that plays great, is well intonated, with good pickups (this can be a 500 bucks guitar), EVERYTHING is in the amp
When I started guitar in 1989 I had a relatively simple but effective Stratocaster Korean copy (Hohner St Lead) I payed a 150€ used, and I loved it. I had a really crappy (really) very cheap transistor amp. I just played the hell out of it and worked ly Hendrix chops for hours.
The day I plugged it in a Red Knob Fender Twin Reverb my life changed ????
The amp is THE element you must invest in the first place after getting a decent guitar.
A modest but decent guitar will sound killer in a great amp. In the other way it's another story
Many tend to overlook this
I actually went with a 12" 15 watt Delta King. It really isn't that much bigger than the 5 watt, and can still be as good sounding at low volumes, but can definitely roar a little more. Supro, definitely sounds better than above. Also makes an EXCELLENT pedal platform.
I bought the Supro for harp. It was originally bought as a backup and practice amp. It has since become my go to gigging amp. The guitarist in our band plugged in his Tele and Les Paul it sounded amazing. His comment was it’s to good an amplifier for a harmonica player????????????
Maybe a Swart Jr., It'll cost more though.
