From Our Research Team:

Go Super-Sonic with Fender!

Fender turned heads a few years back when they crammed two classic amps and the high gain crunch of modern amps into one box. Well, they re-tooled the Super-Sonic™, dropping it down to 22 watts, and giving this latest incarnation a fatter tone and more bass. With a passel of tubes and two channels, you can dial in your perfect guitar tone. The Super-Sonic™ 22 is designed for serious players desiring modern high-gain tones and industry-standard FENDER® clean tones - and it delivers it all perfectly! The Super-Sonic 60 is built around a 22-watt all-tube amp driving a single 12" speaker. The Super-Sonic 22 boasts a 6V6 power section that offers up a Deluxe Reverb-style feel, with moderate output. Like its big brother, the Super-Sonic 22 can conjure everything from classic clean to face-melting high-gain tones.

This is the one

I had Sweetwater bias this amp before shipping to make sure it would sound it's best. The clean channel is very thick and rich, everything you would want from a Deluxe Reverb except the crisp top end... read more [+] chime is pleasantly a bit subdued (I suspect the speaker is the reason). The Fat switch on this amp does a great job of getting you into Bassman Land. As for the Burn channel, I expected that it would sound like a completely different amp as with many dual chan amps. This was not the case, the SS22 retained the sonic character of it's clean channel while being pushed over the edge. The Reverb is solid state and I can usually hear the difference but, on this amp I could have been fooled if I hadn't known ahead of time. Over all this is a great investment, at 22 watts you get to that great cranked fender breakup quickly in a box that mirrors the old blonde Bassman. close [-]

amazing amp and at 22 watts very usuable at small gigs .You can mike it for larger venues. I use a clean boost infront and man did that make her come alive! vintage deluxe channel is stunning real... read more [+]ly close to a old blackface. The bassman switch adds some mids but cuts too many highs for a real fender like clean run the verb on about 2 and its fender heaven.. The overdrive is stellar.With a clean boost and just using gain one you can get true texas strat blues or danny gatton type twang with a tele. One of the best amps i have ever played . If you are trying these check the 22 the 60 may be a bit much for all venues.The 22 you can push to that sweet spot and man its sweeeeeet close [-]

Best Fender Ever

I got this amp after narrowing my extensive amp collection down to two gigging amps, a British Vox AC15C1 and on the USA side of the pond, a Fender Supersonic 22. The Supersonic 22 has a delicious De... read more [+]luxe Reverb clean sound that Fender is famous for PLUS an absolutely killer cascading overdrive channel that alows me to gig without one single pedal. This amp has clean headroom for days (way more than the Deluxe Reverb) even though it is only rated at 22 watts. Dead quiet at idle - no buzz or annoying hiss. The stock tubes are exceptional as is the stock speaker. If you are a modder, stay away. This amp could not be more perfect and is the amp I chose, even over way more expensive boutiques as my go to amp for that famous Fender USA sound. close [-]

I doubt you can find a better amp for under $1000 ..........

I rarely give a perfect score to any hardware. I've had this about a week, but I was in love with it the first time I demo'd it in a local shop.

Sound:
To use a quote from one of my fa... read more [+]vorite books the sound is "Honey poured over Thunder" (Makes my old amp sound like "Piss poured over a fart") Seriously though, sound is so subjective I wont get into all that, but I will say that I think most people will be able to find a sound they will love from this. It's really versatile when it comes to the sounds you can get from it.

Quality:
The construction is really high quality ofcourse, with great components, comes stock with GrooveTubes, Eminence Speaker and the foot switch is really heavy duty. (The foot-switch is a little large though, I think it could of been smaller)

If your looking for a good practice amp or something for small venues (Or even large venue, since it sounds pretty amazing through a good P/A) Buy this amp. close [-]

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
