Supro Keeley, Princeton or Other Pedal Platform

[GhostJam47]

Starting to think about upgrading my Blues Jr.

Need bedroom volumes, so really just looking for the ideal pedal platform.

Supro Keeley is designed for it, but there's not a ton of reviews out there.

The Princeton seems like another good option. I recently bought a Flint for Tremolo/Reverb, so don't really need these onboard.

Anyone w. experience with the Supro Keeley?

I can't get my Princeton Reverb anywhere near cooking temperature in a bedroom, but it makes a fabulous pedal platform. I like clean with a touch of hair, which usually gets the hmmm of dissapproval from Mrs D.

Not tried a supro keeley but I’ve got a supro delta king 12 and it’s excellent. Can’t speak for its pedal handling abilities though, sorry

My 1977 PR works great at lower volumes with an assortment of pedals.

Lol . . . okay

I feel misquoted. "Duplicate" has been taken out of context. That's not what I meant!

thanks. been mostly doing general google searches. Sweetwater, etc. reviews are limited. And not a ton on TGP, which is surprising.

I prefer the Tone King product line with their built in attenuators myself, but that's another level of price point. Particularly the Falcon Grande with it's attenuator and triple voicing for Rhythm/Tweed/Lead. You can get the new sound you're looking to upgrade to and still keep your Tweed sound.

I don't think you go wrong with either a Supro or Fender of a similar circuit either way. To me it would come down to the best deal between a Fender & Supro. With the Supro you really have to be on board with the faded, broken in Denim tolex color, they call it Blue Rhino Hide.

Either a Princeton or a Deluxe Reverb for sure

Don't have experience with Supro but my '65 Princeton Reverb Reissue SE (12") is amazing. Those blackface cleans are incredible, you'll be amazed at the difference from your BJ. Takes all manner of pedals great. Speaker choice makes a big difference.

Same for me. The Delta King is a good sounding amp.

Supro's schtick is small amps that really cook at lowish volume.

 

[Bladesg]

I’m sure they’re all great but I would go a 65 DRRI. Install a Celestion Alnico Cream and you got an amp that’s as good as it gets!

I have never heard of the Supro Keeley until now, but I can tell you from many years of experience that a Princeton is excellent as a pedal platform.

I have a '73 Princeton Reverb and I have the same problem. I usually run it into a load box and IR cab then into monitors or headphones to avoid annoying my wife when she's watching episodes of Really Drunk Housewives downstairs.

The low volume is key for me, which is why that Keeley version really seems up my alley. My eyes were on a Princeton until I stumbled across this.

The bang for the buck seems there.

I've got a modern reissue Supro 1606 Super. It's built like a tank, it's simple as heck, and the tone is spectacular. I'd take a good look at that Keeley before moving on to something more complicated and possibly not built to last.

I recommend trying a new VibroChamp Reverb...
