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 22 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.

Best sounding amp I've used, by far

When I was ready to step up to an all tube amp I called Bryan because I knew I'd get great advice. He asked a series of questions to help focus on some options. Separate from the amp review, I love this about Sweetwater. He didn't try to sell me something he wanted to sell, he found out what I wanted and helped me choose.

This amp is loud! It goes from super clean Fender sounds to raunchy hitting every note in between. I don't use my OD pedal because I don't need it. The onboard reverb is as good as I've heard. The only other sound I add is a delay through the effects loop.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to discern the quality difference over my very nice and capable Boss Katana-100. I thought maybe I was just chasing the tube sound because that's what the pros use. The Super-Sonic just sounds amazing and makes the Katana sound stale by comparison. I've also played Fender's Blues Jr and Bassbreaker. The Super-Sonic is my favorite.

Finally, consider getting an attenuator to turn down the dbs without sacrificing sound if you practice at home. I use a Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 to cut -20dbs off the amp. It helps but it's still a loud amp.

Great Amp

I've owned this amp for a month or two & have gigged with it twice. very happy with it. beautiful clean tones & the best distortion / gain I've heard out of a Fender since my Hotrod DeVille / 4x10.
the stock speaker is fine. but I did replace it with a Eminence Texas Heat 1x12 speaker. and I replaced the preamp tubes in the V1 & V2 with 5751's. great amp ... won't break your back either. I've added a 1x15 cab with an Eminence speaker as well. overall tone is FAT ...

This amp is incredible!!!

I did tons of research and I was on the fence on whether to go boutique, Mesa, or Fender. The mark iv and cali tweed from mesa were enticing but the price was a little high and it looked like I could get a very similar set up with this amp. I say that as a guitarist that prefers the cleaner/early breakup side of the tone spectrum. This amp delivers everything I need in spades! Beautiful clean tone, addictive early breakup tone, I am in heaven! I tried two speaker swaps with speakers I had on hand. I swapped a WGS 12C in as well as an Alltone 1250. Neither of them sounded as good as the stock Fender Lightning speaker. Very impressive!

Great Amp

Excellent amplifier does everything you'd expect a great fender product to do. Buttery lows Excellent drive channel wonderful reverb and the 2 gain controls. I've gone through many amplifiers many brands, but always seem to return to fender, glad I did buy this amp it's a winner!!

Call The Fire Department.

Got this Amp the other day, took it out of the box plugged it in and let it warm up for about 30 minuets.

Stuck the jack in and played around with the clean channel, was blown away, then hit the burn switch, Wow this 22 watt amp scrams, had to stop and make sure my house wasn't catching on fire from the flame this little amp throws out.

It is almost as loud as my 73' black face super reverb, as for the overdrive, just as good as my Peavey 6505+

Just wish it had tilt backs,

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! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
