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.

Killer Amp with a lot of Personality

by Robert Kalberer from Boulder CO
July 18, 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. I decided to run it through some other speaker cabinets to compare it to some other 12 inch speakers. The Eminence sounded nicer than the Weber 12A150-W which really surprised me, it was also much better than the Jensen special design speaker in my tweed blues Junior. The only speaker that beat the Eminence was a 40-year-old Jensen P12N and even then not bu much. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Brian Cravens
This amp design is a homerun! As an overview: Fender took the 22-watt platform of a Deluxe Reverb (this amp has a solid state rectifier), added a super-cool distortion channel, and gave the world what I predict will be a time-tested gigging amp. It also shines in the studio, having better low frequency response than the current crop of 15 to 30-watt 1x12" amps with EL84 tubes. The 6V6's make the difference. It's a true winner!
