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.

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 [-]

Killer Amp with a lot of Personality

by Robert Kalberer from Boulder, CO
July 15, 2010
Music Background:
I got my Super Sonic 22 two days ago and it sounds great. I have played every current production Fender tube amp except the Vibro King, Vibroverb and the new Super Sonic 60 and would say if you’re com... read more [+]paring amps without any modifications just taking it out of the box and turning it on this is the best amp fender makes.

This is a killer amp with a lot of personality. Advertising says it’s sort of a combination of the older super sonic and a deluxe reverb, sort of ironic that I would buy it as these are two fender amps that I always felt were some of the biggest disappointments from Fender. What surprised me is that it sounds way better than a DDRI reissue. Compared to the DRRI the Super Sonic 22 sounds bigger and richer sounding, has more chime, more punch and is louder (sounds about as loud as my 40 watt 68 Vibrolux). The fat switch replaces the Vibrolux/Bassman switch of the older supersonics. The strange thing is toggling the fat switch on and off actually gives you a really good vintage Vibrolux or Bassman sound, way better than the old supersonics were supposed to do. I stick mostly with the clean channel as you can get a good edgy growl by turning it up or hitting the fat switch if you want. I didn’t spend as much time with the burn channel as I never liked the sound of multiple stages of gain as much, but I could tell you get some really good sounds off of that as well if that is more your style.

Works equally well on my Telecaster as well as my Les Paul Junior. Compared to most other Fender amps the EQ controls are much more sensitive so little adjustments make a big difference. Because of this you will probably spend more time initially to find just the right settings.

I’ve never really been a big fan of Eminence speakers they always seemed a little too airy for me but this one even without any break in sounds exceptionally full and rich. Gives you a really nice warm 3-D sound. close [-]

S-S 22, an alternative to the '65 DR

I finally found the perfect amp for me- the Super Sonic 22. I traded in my '65 Deluxe Reverb because it was just too clean and one-dimensional.

My only complaint is that the footswitch cord is 3X longer than it needs to be :) Highly recommend this blonde beauty! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
