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 gave 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 guitar amp head is designed for serious players desiring modern high-gain head 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.

Fender Super-Sonic 22 Guitar Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • The tones you need for any gig
  • Huge Fender tones from clean to scream
  • Convenient footswitch for instant control
The tones you need for any gig

Fender's Legendary mid-'60s Black Panel tone is considered the ultimate in clean by many tube combo aficionados. To which many would wistfully add, "If only it did overdrive." Well, now it does. A member of Fender's no-nonsense Pro Tube Series, the Super-Sonic Head nails the shimmering vintage tones of the original and ups the ante with a smorgasbord of expressive modern high-gain sounds that'll strip the paint off club walls.

Huge Fender tones from clean to scream

The Super-Sonic 22 head's vintage channel is where you'll find your sparkling cleans and the thick, punchy voice of a '60s-era Black Panel amp. The burn channel gives you everything from crunchy breakup to full-on sonic armageddon without masking the true tonal character of your guitar. Did we mention this amp is versatile? Of course, that luscious, tube-driven Fender long-spring reverb is onboard, ready for you to dial-in a judicious amount.

Convenient footswitch for instant control

Change amp channels and switch on effects with the included 4-button footswitch. Add a punch to your Super-Sonic 22 amp head's vintage channel by switching from normal to fat with ease. The footswitch also lets you choose which channel is active. A dedicated reverb and effects loop on/off switch give you immediate control over your effects.

Super Sonic 22
I've been wanting this amp ever since I played one a few years ago. I finally purchased it this year and I couldn't be happier. When it arrived the cabinet was the wrong color. But Tyler and the Sweertwater team acted fast to correct it and I had my matching cabinet in a few days.thanks again

It makes me smile.
I have been playing gigs since the mid eighties touing full time for a many years and have owened several great amps during that time but the Super-Sonic 22 is now my new favorite. Right out of the box and in two notes I could tell it was a great amp. I also needed something that wasn't as loud as some of my other amps had to be to achieve the sound I was looking for.That being said it has plenty of clean power and the drive channel sounds proper as if it is an extension of the clean channel. Not like two different amps. So very musical and useful. It sings. Quite happy with it.

Outstanding!
What a great amplifier. I have a Fender Player Stratocaster HSS and wanted to play it through a Fender amp. If you want unbelievable clean tones, this amp is beautiful. It has the same power section as a Deluxe Reverb and I can't say enough about the tone. The Burn channel is very good too. It has the best overdrive I have ever heard out of a tube amp, even at fairly low settings. It has plenty of power too and is very loud. I have a Bugera Vintage 22 also, and that is a nice amp as well, but doesn't come close to the tone you get out of the Fender. The Fender is much more expensive, but IMO worth the money. I have also played my Les Paul through the Super Sonic and it too has great tone. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. And, it is a Fender, which means very high quality that lasts.

Close to Perfect Amp...
Nothing is perfect, but this amp is almost there. I've been looking for an amp that can do both, Fender cleans and Marshall/Mesa Distortion...this amp does it! I wasn't very surprised about the clean tone, I expected that and it delivered. But I am blown away by the amount of gain and distortion in the "burn" channel. This amp can cover every style of music, except maybe the hardest metal...and even that you can if you put a boost in front of the amp. I have been looking for a low wattage amp that I can use at gigs and on a whim, I traded my Dual Rectifier for this amp. I picked up the amp on a Saturday morning, and gigged with it on Saturday night... sounded amazing! If you are into ANY style of music, get this amp.. Fender has hit a homerun with this series.

Super
I gave the amp 4.5 stars, because it's close to perfect. My issue isn't the digital reverb rectifier, as some have cited. I think that works just fine, and you can always use a pedal. No, for me the 1 slight deficiency is that the SS22 has a bit more 'resting hiss' than other tube amps I have. But since I play it in my studio louder than those in my bedroom, I can get past it. The amp otherwise delivers the great Fender cleans, and, it can get furry using drive channel. This amp gives me better OD sound than any pedal I've used, and those Fender cleans . . .

Also, you can't leave a review on something purchased from Sweetwater without noting the tremendous Customer Service, and the support provided. My SE team David and Ryan are truly great people to work with and have done much for me through a few years of business with Sweetwater. That as much as anything IS worth a 5 star review!

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too!
