BLUES KING 8 COMBO
LOW WATTAGE, FAT TONE
The Blues King 8 is a modern rendition of the low-wattage Supro amplifiers that were produced in Chicago during the mid 1950s. True to the Supro sound, it features a genuine Class A all-tube signal path, featuring a 12AX7 tube preamp, our custom 8-inch BK8 speaker, and vintage-style poplar cabinetry. Offering just 1 watt of all-tube tone, the Blues King 8 is a studio must-have, featuring a Line Output that allows the amp to be used as a source of pure tube distortion before hitting another amplifier or going directly into your DAW. The Line Out is even conveniently located before the Master Volume, allowing you to crank the preamp gain while simultaneously blending in the sound of the onboard speaker to taste.
CUSTOM BK8 SPEAKER
A custom 8-inch BK8 speaker offers balanced, rich tone, specifically designed to capture the magic of the original field-coil speakers used by amp makers at the dawn of the electric age.
ALL-TUBE TONE
The Blues King 8 features a 12AX7 tube preamp, where the audio is gained up and sent to a 12AU7 triode power amp to deliver pure, unobstructed tone that epitomizes the 1950s Supro sound.
SLEEK MINIMALISM
Hearkening back to the original Supro combo amplifiers, the Blues King 8 features a custom, poplar cabinet design, sleek black tolex and an overall minimal aesthetic.
