Fender Super-Sonic 100 Guitar Amplifier Head (100 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
This two-channel head lets you go from 100 to 25 watts with the Arena/Club switch, or adjust your speaker response with the three-way damping switch.

The Fender Super-Sonic series: High-performance, no-nonsense tube amps that create unmistakable Fender clean tones and expressive modern high-gain tones without masking the tonal character of the player's guitar. The new 100-watt Super-Sonic 100 Head contains several sonically versatile new features, including an Arena/Club switch that takes the power down to 25 watts (to preserve its great high-volume tube tone at lower "club gig" volume levels); a Notch Tune control that lets you move the mid-range notch and fine-tune the distortion characteristics for a variety of American and British amp sounds; a rear-panel damping control that lets you select "normal," "loose" or "tight" speaker response for sounds ranging from warm and loose to tight and focused; and the new Fender Automatic Bias control, which lets you easily set the output tubes to the recommended factory setting and to your preference of "hotter" or "cooler" bias with no need for meters or tools.

Other features include a Vintage channel for shimmering clean tone derived from Fender Twin Reverb and Showman amps or the thick, punchy sound of a 1960s-era Bassman amp; a Burn channel for edgy breakup and distortion with variable compression, thickness and sustain; tube-driven Fender long-spring reverb; effects loop with level control that also works as a footswitch-operated boost; custom Schumacher transformers; and a choice of Black/Silver or Blonde/Oxblood cosmetic treatments. Mates perfectly with the Super-Sonic 100 read more 412 Straight and Super-Sonic 100 412 Slant enclosures. Cover and pedalboard-friendly four-button footswitch included.

Everything about this amp is amazing. The features, the pedal board, the sound, the power. There's not much I can say. It's everything you would imagine it to be. Obviously, the amp is very expensive, so I gave it 3 stars for that. The ease of use is also down one star just because it has so much to learn and such a huge amount of control that it could be confusing at times. I've never used support, so I really can't say, but I hear it's good. This most likely isn't a problem for most people. Anyways, get this thing if you've been thinking about it. I couldn't be happier.
