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.

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.

This amp is very well built. You can go about anywhere with it, musically. The vintage clean is very inspiring. Was very pleased. Deluxe with a Super attitude. The overdrive variations are there to be had and enjoyed. Sustain.

I just bought mine used. It has to be an earlier model as mine has Vibroluxe / Bassman instead of a Fat switch. I have the foot switch with 3 options. All in all it is the second one I have owned and I don't remember my first one being this good in so many ways. I have so many ways to run this it is terrific. I don't have to run many pedals now which save setup and tear down time. The distortion options are all super.... I have been using my JHS power soak with this amp even though it is just 22 watts it is a louder 22 Fender tube amp watts... I have this and my Fender DeVille 2 x 12 ... they are all I need

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 ...

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!

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.
